    The Rock: Fish to slap the lips off the Bills,

    No surprise.  Dwayne Johnson, aka "Rocky Maivia" aka "The Rock" played linebacker for the Miami Hurricanes.  I believe he tried out for the pros, didn't make it, then started juicing and went to WWF.  And the rest is history.

    Rocky Maivia

     

    "Rocky was born into a wrestling family, the son of former NWA Florida and WWF Intercontinental Champion Rocky Johnson and the grandson of the great multiple-champion High Chief Peter Maivia. With wrestling in his blood, it would be foreseeable that he would set his sights on a career in the ring but he took a different route. Maivia (real name Dwayne Johnson) was a tremendous high school athlete and was a USA Today All-American football player. He was recruited aggressively by the top schools across the country but decided to join the University of Miami. After a solid junior year (in which he sacked Heismann trophy winner Charlie Ward) he was named to a preseason All-American team and looked forward to dominating as a defensive lineman. Unfortunately, he suffered a severe back injury and struggled with the injury throughout the season. He was able to come back, however, and started in the Hurricanes Orange Bowl loss to the Nebraska Cornhuskers. He next set his sights towards playing in the National Football League but went unselected in the 1995 NFL draft. Determined to make it in the NFL, he decided to play one season in the Canadian Football League with the Calgary Stampeders. Because of league rules restricting the number of non-Canadians who can appear on the active roster, Rocky was placed on the teams taxi squad, practicing but not playing. As the season wore on, he began thinking more and more about following in his fathers footsteps into the squared circle. "

    I'm listening right now in CT on Sirius.  I just bought it today, as I'll be away this weekend and want to hear the Bills game.  Got it from Radio Shack: http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?cata...%5Fid=12%2D2080

     

    $49.99, plus a $39.99 home kit got me an extra $15 off.  There is a $30 mail-in-rebate, so the total (with the home kit) is about $45 ($20 without the home kit),  plus you have to pay for the service.  So far, I like it  :flirt:

     

    However, remeber that I don't think it will be Rick and Jim for every game.  I'm not yet sure if they just take the home team or what, but at least tonight its the WGR feed.

    I found it back in 97 or 98 while looking for pictures of the Jills, so I don't remember the exact search engine I used, but I've been checking it out just about every day since.

    For the first 4 games, I have stayed either completely sober or at least not drank too much so I could follow the game, pay attention, and see all of the plays. F-ck it. Next week, I'm gonna get so drunk before the game that I may not be allowed into the stadium.

    Last game against Atlanta, I saw a guy so wasted, that I wondered how he was able to stand and hold his arms out during the pat down. He was let in, though I believe he probably would not remember anything past the kickoff.
