Isn't that just urban myth behind the story?
Just like some people think that the ship on Snapple Iced Tea was a slave ship.
They asked others and stuff like this was said:
Church's Chicken has special additives in it to sterilize African-American males.
The circle K on products is code for the KKK.
It is amazing what people come up with! Totally... Outrageous!

You wouldn't jump in the Niagara River, just as you wouldn't jump into parts of the Mississippi... Especially near tributaries, islands, backwaters and sloughs... And never near locks and dams...
The drowning machine is at work and too great. There are tremendous flows and currents in spots... Even ones that look peaceful on the surface. Below St. Louis, the lower MS is deep enough so man-made locks/dams aren't needed... But, other hazards exist.Semi-relevant River Link... "Drowning Machine"
I don't recommend actually going into the river... Stay in the museum's wading model.
Jeff was actually in the Wolf River around Mud Island... The museum is on Mud Island... Along with the actual model/wading area.
It is amazing what kind of power say a 5,000 hp vessel can do and what kind of turbulence is created alongside it at the stern. Small vessels are no match, let alone a swimmer.
It blows my mind what people do... Makes me glad to know it is winter up here.

That "No huddle"... Is it the Levy kind or the Wyche kind?
Something tells me when the refs stepped in before the TD play... Me thinks it is the kind that "violates the spirit of the game."

It would be fitting... Didn't JAX end the Bills' run!

Like Tenny and DG said... The Peabody is a hoot. Everyday the ducks ride down the elevator (with elevator/doorman assist) to get to the fountain inside the hotel... They ride back up at the end of the day. Gets kinda crowded though with all the picture takes.
The Mississippi River Mueseum is really cool... With a scale model of the Mississippi River and its tributaries that actually doulbes as a wading area... You can walk through the water. I was there in 1997, I can't remember if it is with the aquarium?

"Ice boy" for Penthouse magazine.
Hey... Not a bad "fall-back" profession!

So Marv can bring Kelso back!

I agree. Whenever GWB speaks, things kinda happen like that. I try not to watch 'em.
-
The link doesn't work.
Being a lock and dam operator and enjoy that sort of history, I would like to see it.

I am not convinced with the "Monsters of the Midway" yet.
Of the 5 games they lost... 3 were to the AFC.
Cleveland
Pittsburgh
and Cincy
The others were Washington and Minnesota (season finale).
Ya, they beat the schizo Panthers, Buccs, and Falcons... Everybody else flat out sucks.
I will wait and see.

I wish it was just accidental bumping... He was trying to take swings at the ref! He didn't connect though.
Usecheck ejected Hokies All-America cornerback Jimmy Williams in the first quarter for swinging his arm at head linesman Al Green. Williams was jawing with Louisville's Amobi Okoye, and Green grabbed Williams to separate the two.
"He never hit the official, but he swung at him twice," Usecheck said of Williams.
During the standard meeting of team captains before the second half, Usecheck said he told the players: "I don't care if I'm out here until midnight calling penalties. This has got to stop."

The Swanie is one of the best places to eat in Buffalo, IMO. I call it my "winter tailgate" because its where I usually go prior to Sabres games.
If you go back, their fries are great, you get a huge plate of them super cheap. They also have the best chicken sandwich in town, I usually get the Greek one but they have a bunch of different choices.
That bar is over 100 years old and it's as Buffalo a bar as you can get. (Which, again IMO, is the highest compliment you give a bar.)
I love that place.
Where is it? I take it is on Swan street. I never been there.
I know my sister would always piss and moan when her ex (I never drank with him... He was a SOB.) would be out drinking after work... I think that is where he would usually be.

The ref was looking away... Yet, gave him a 15 yarder... The ref said after the game (Trib article) that if he would have saw it, he would have ejected Marcus Vick. The ref even APOLOGIZED for not being on top of it and looking away.
Like I said... A total "brat" move, it is so obvious.
-
Thanks.
It was a totally "punk", "brat" type move... Watching it, it is apparent he knew where his leg was and tried to make it look like an accident.
Notice the subtle dig he gives him also.

I posted the article about the ref saying that the whole Hoakie squad was out of control... Especially in the first half.
What about the Hoakie that was flailing swings towards the ref (never did connect though)... He was ejected.
Before the second half kickoff... The ref said that he would be throwing flags till midnight if this crap doesn't get under control!
To say that this doesn't represent the whole VT staff flies in the face of how the refs (I think they were Big 12) said they never heard the amount of trash being tossed around until they did this years Gator Bowl.
Isn't this where (VT) Bruce Smith "learned" his showboating tricks? Wouldn't surprise me if it is culture there... Going way back.
Seems VT is backpeddling and trying to put some spin on an insidious problem.

Disrespectful? How?
The Patriots' QB and the former Bills' QB are not football players? They don't fall under the canopy of football discussion?
I have little to say about the Bills that respected posters on this board have not already covered. But when subjects with which I am more familiar come up - like my team, my team's QB, my team's former QB - I feel more able to chime in and add insight.
And again, I implore you to be more respectful in your interactions with me and others on this board. Rudeness is a black eye on all involved.
I agree with most you say here.
Hasn't "Hollywood Donahoe" become cliche now that TD and Bledsoe are gone?

I think it was week 6 of the 1988 season against Indy at Rich (34-23 Bills) that Harmon made that horizontal one handed grab in the endzone??
Didn't Harmon get in trouble with taking money from alumni while at Iowa?
The negative thing that strikes me about this "character" thing that Marv is saying is that during his first go around, character was sure lacking in some of the players.
Bruce Smith (Drugs, D.U.I.)
Jim Kelly ("Party" boy early on)
Ronnie Harmon (his recuiting issues and alledged gambling ties)
Who was the player that ran a traffic light and killed some kids in Michigan?
I am sure there were other issues.
-
He did the same for the Hawkeyes in the RoseBowl.
When I moved to Iowa in 1992, My boss (from Des Moines)... First thing out of his mouth was... "Don't fret, Harmon did it for us in the RoseBowl." I just laughed.
I was at the game in Cleveland and sat surrounded by Brown fans. The thing that strikes me as odd was when the Bills had a comeback against Indy at Rich (I think it was that year or the year before)... Harmon made a spectacular one hand grab while going horizontal to the ground in the endzone... Then this happens in Cleveland!
Eff you Ronnie!

I guess scouting anyone on the VT Hoakie squad is out of the question?
I can't post the link for the Tribune's article about what the refs said about VT and what went on vs. Louisville... They would have thrown Vick out if the ref saw it. The refs apologized for missing it. You needed to register... It is an eyeopener about the Hoakie squad and (Marcus) Vick... Just like his sleeze-ball brother, A.K.A: Ron Mexico
- are you referring to him stepping on the LBs leg and grinding while they were talking to his brother in the stands - he should have been thrown out
Here is today's article:
Vick may be done at Va. Tech
By Norm Wood
Tribune Newspapers: Newport News Daily Press
Published January 6, 2006
BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Virginia Tech will suspend quarterback Marcus Vick for an undetermined number of games next season if he returns to school, according to two sources within the athletic department who asked to remain anonymous. The suspension is the result of Vick stomping on a Louisville player's leg in the first half of Monday's Gator Bowl.
Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer will meet with Brenda Boddie, Vick's mother, and Vick to discuss the player's options Friday. If Vick doesn't accept the suspension, he will either have to transfer to another school or turn pro.
In order to gain immediate eligibility next season by transferring, he'd have to go to a Division I-AA or lower level school. Vick said at a news conference Dec. 29 that he doesn't plan to enter the National Football League draft in April.
This is the latest controversy for Vick. The school suspended him for the 2004 season after convictions for reckless driving and marijuana possession and because he was convicted in May 2004 of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Vick, 21, re-enrolled at Tech in January 2005. He won the starting job and led the Hokies to an 11-2 season.

You know what I mean.
Something about being buried alive is a terrorifying thought no matter how many people are innvolved.
Yet, in the grand scheme of things we can say things like: "Heck, more people die in Detroit, MI by random gunfire than in Iraq."

I think The Dean should get credit for this one... A few days ago didn't he post something similar?

I figure I should jump on this a week early... Maybe 7 days is just enough time to break the NE mojo... Jump on it the day of the game, forget about it... NE wins.
Thanks Ralph! You had to bail (with cash) the NE organization out early on!
