i was in college in PGH when they won the Superbowl, they weren't any bridsmaids back then.

I qualified it as "Cowher's Stillers"

If the Barfs (Buffalo) get into the playoffs, the way they've played the last six weeks, everybody else may have some difficulty.

Sounds like we all have to behave until xs leaves. Good thing that will be early :-)

Sweet. It sounds like xshub is learning from the best, Dr. Walter E. Williams.

Buffalo will lose their First round game.


Much like the jets who have gone dismal down the stretch, Buffalo has only beat one decent team in the last 8 games, and that was the Jets, in the game that Pennington Tore his rotator Cuff. Had they taken him out when that happened, they might have even lost that game. (QC didnt get in the game till late, after a 1st qtr injury...)



St Louis, (In Buff).. Seattle, Miami, Cleveland and Cinci (no Palmer)

They are playing well, but have not been tested by a team that plays defense. Even the no O jets put up 37 on Seattle....

I don't know. Hopefully he'll guest host for Rush sometime this week as I want to know what he got his wife for Christmas.

The Seahawks stink. Even when they were winning sort of handily they were BORING which probably means they've got no heart. Not to mention receivers (especially Jackson until his dad died) who can't hold onto the ball when Hasselback inconsiderately throws it right into their hands or torsos.

Good morning, xsmommy!

Does jeans and a T-Shirt count? It's a really nice T-Shirt!




The Nattering Nabobs of Nit-Wittery.
On the Boob Tube with all their Dip-$hittery.
Are officicious, malicious, hardly judicious.
Reading their own text to the Masses each night.

Brains stuck in the sixties.
Of Camelot, JFK, The Old South and Dixie.
The world has changed though their brains are stuck tight.
Twixt their buttcheeks, it's true.

Dyed in the wool Liberal Pink and True Blue.
Wondering why they lose more viewers each night.
It's the message and the Ted Baxter clone delivering it.

Both are old, decrepit, past their prime.
Premium is time. We have jobs. So I'll finish this rhyme.
While the Old Media ratings suffers another epileptic fit!

Jack.

Yes, they do. As much as the J.E.T.S. are anti-hyped for beating weak teams, Buffalo, and Seattle have been overhyped for the same. Especially Seattle (and St.Louis, but I dont want to hex the Jets), FCOL, the eniter NFC is playing like a "b" league.
