...on any given day in the NFL
um the powerful Boys lost to Denver who lost to the Raiders and the Cheifs...late
and the Boys beat the Deadskins 7-6.
Saints 34 Pokes 13
Maybe SD, but, not BB. Not anymore. The Colts have won 5 of the last 6 against him.
I don’t really have a horse in the race...my Packers lost...but I’ll root for Dallas over the Viqueens.
I’m actually rooting for Dallas too lol. I’m tired of the Favre thing, starting to remind me of the phoney Roger Clemmons retirement acts.
I just don’t think anybody is beating the Saints this year in the playoffs or SuperBowl.
I’ll root for Dallas against the Saints for Bender’s sake but if the Saints make the SB I’m all for them.
just for the record...the very best ever football player in the NFL was .......Slingin Sammy Baugh.............
...hall of fame quarterback, but he also started on defense in the secondary and was all pro on defense as well and ....oh.......he also was the team’s punter and held NFL records for passing, interceptions and punting 10 different times.........
just a triple tough hand from days gone by and simply the best
and a Texan.
The last glimpse of that generation of players most of us had was George Blanda who kicked and played QB..
I believe Hornung also punted.
Different game in the first 50 years of the NFL than today’s game.
He did, too...to no avail.
I never played except in high school (didn’t letter) in the 40’s...
I do know what growing old is like. >:-}
Be safe in your travels and take care!!!
That was painful to watch yesterday, in more ways than 1.
If I had to guess, I’m thinking Kurt played his last game in the NFL. If not, I fear Brenda might tie him up and keep him home permanately!!
Slinging Sammy. Yep, can’t argue that one!!!
This Colts fan wishes they had finished off the Jets when they had the chance.

Sammy practically invented passing in football....the ball was a bit rounder in the day too
“Live each day as if it may be your last one—” works for everyday...
Barb’s and my prayers are with you...
God Bless...
God bless

Bendy,
My condolences to you and your family. May the Lord comfort and sustain you.
“well I did it again.. posted on wrong thread!”
LOL - that’s ok, I answered back on that thread - here’s what I said:
“Yep, laptop’s up & running & connected to web. (I mostly use my desktop, but no TV in that room.)
I really like Favre and wish him lots of success - just not today, LOL. Da Boys are going to the SuperBowl - yea Cowboys.
Have a great time on your date - sounds like fun.”
