Ned Flanders

Well, Senator Herb Kohl (D-WI) I believe is still a majority owner of the Milwaukee Bucks...how the NHL handles this, I don't know.

"NOT SOLD IN STORES!" Yeah, I looked at 'em online and got sticker shock myself...

Yes, Nipsey is gone, It's so sad to see, So if I ever watch him again, It will be on "Match Game '73."

Toronto? Hmmm...wonder who will have to give up a home game to play up there? Commissioner: "Son, how are those Randy Moss Raiders jerseys selling in Moscow?" League Office Lacky: "Sir, I think we've sold a grand total of three NFL jerseys to folks in Moscow through nflshop.com." Commissioner: "Damnit! Get me the Kremlin on the line...a December ESPN night game in Moscow?!?!? Jeeziz, I have half a stick just thinking about it!"

I like your thinking... Now, though, they've got to make it happen

Before going to a break last night, ESPN's Mike Patrick said something to the effect: 'St. Louis now leads the 49ers, 28 to 14.' Jeeziz...when did the Cards leave St. Louis, like almost 20 years ago? My father still calls the LA baseball team the 'Brooklyn Dodgers' but I cut him a break since he's 82 years old and not paid to talk about sports....

Rumor has it the NFL will schedule a preseason game next year in CHINA. All for the opportunity to sell some more jerseys...

I know it was early and there was alot of football to be played, but the Bills had just sacked Brooks and NO was ready to punt...with the 7-0 lead at the point and about to get the ball back, the Bills could have been in business to up the score. Instead, Clements gets flagged and the Saints go down and get a FG, and more importantly, lots of confidence. The Saints knew they could move the ball from that point forward.

The 1974 MNF opener classic vs. the Raiders did not sell out, nor did the 1975 game vs. the Giants when the Bills were 4-0 (or somewhere near there...the Giants game was when some hooligan climbed out on the cable that held the netting behind the goal post). Also remember a MNF game in 1984 (?) vs. the Fish that was blacked out.

Wait a minute...I watched the first half of ITNFL last night waiting for the linebackers show on NFL Network...you mean they showed NOT ONE highlight from the Texans game?!?!? BTW, what's up with Peter King...seems there's more plastic in his face than in Paris Hilton's wallet...christ, lay off the double lattes, Pete.

The word "subject" is key here...meaning that it is eligible to be blacked out...do I think that will happen? No. Not a chance. As others have stated, blacking this game out in the Tri-state region would be one big PR mess.

Would be a good game for light blue throwbacks and a white helmet...

I wonder what marketing wiz decided that closing the RWS Bills Store at 4:00 PM on home game weekends made good business sense...

Don't think it was Felser...that name would have stuck...will check "Relentless" and other sources later tonight.

It is true...Ralph wanted to go and open his AFL shop in Miami in the Orange Bowl...the city of Miami balked at offering up the Orange Bowl, mainly because of the AAFC failure in that city. (See Miami Seahawks) Miami thought the AFL was a "fly-by-night" outfit and was DOOMED. Ralph is then enticed to look at Buffalo from a Buffalo sportswriter (name?)...citing AAFC success in the city. Ralph sez WTF, Buffalo it is... The rest, as they say on Peabody and Sherman, is "history."

Wrong. Below zero C maybe, but no way was it below zero F on game day.

This line has me scratching my head, however: "Who could forget the sub-zero cold at the AFC championship game in 1991..." Check me if I'm wrong Sandy, but I was at that game and temp was around 30 with a light mist, turning to a light snow later in the day...watching the tape, NBC's Bill Walsh called it "perfect weather for football." If he means the 1991 season championship game vs. Denver, which I was also at, it was sunny and around 40 degrees. I think he must be talking about the 1993 AFC divisional playoff game vs. the Raiders?

Is the game on TV anywhere?

Yawn....I'd rather watch someguy's grandfather try and catch a bat. Three things Europe has that we don't need: -Socialism -Soccer -The Metric System

Actually, the movie "Number One" starring Charlton Heston, would be most apt... Number One

Any chance getting that tape to Fezmid so he can make DVDs?

Glenn, I have been to many of these events...the food is great, but the crowds are HUGE. You really gotta get there when the doors open, eat and get out. (You'll be fighting w/Dave in VA to get in the door first, however...)

Nice FMJ pickup!
