[Dysart]

Random fun fact:

Since the 1997 season, the Cowboys are 28-43 in games played in December.

[GOPsterinMA]

Yep. Kubiak canned.

[dfwgator]

Oh yeah, Wade Phillips will be a huge improvement. /s

[GOPsterinMA]

Exactly. I feel bad for Kubiak; the guy had a friggin stroke on the field.

AFC TIEBREAKER #4 OF MANY

TENN is less interesting at this point, because most assume a loss to DEN this week and that is a CONF loss (near fatal in the wildcard race).

we did TN vs. BALT above
TN vs. PT BUFF all have 2 non-conf losses, SD has only 1. MIA has adv over TN with 3 of their losses being non-conf, and TN has h2h over PITT & SD and nYJ

this weekend will clarify the TN SD MI PT situation. Because there will be losses for some of the 4.

TN vs. MIA, common
TN is 3-2
MIA is 3-0 with 2 to play (PT & NYJ)

TN vs. BUFF, common
TN is 2-2
BUFF is 1-3 BOTH with 1 to play (JAX for both)

THE 3-WAY TIE TN-BA-MI with equal CONF REC .... ?
balt vs mia common
balt: 4-3-2
mia: 3-2-4 all 9 games are NORTH & EAST
It is not clear how a “3-way common games” works. It might just go to SOV.

A lot of you folks may not be Seahawk fans, but it’s easy to be a Russell Wilson, the person, fan.

“Seahawks’ Russell Wilson ends up looking most saintly after New Orleans game.”

http://mynorthwest.com/11/2407691/Seahawks-Russell-Wilson-ends-up-looking-most-saintly-after-New-Orleans-game

It was reported that Wilson did his post-game stuff with the MNF crew, went in to the locker room, showed and dressed in his post-game suit and then did his media interview obligations. Then as the rest of his team was getting ready to go out on the town to celebrate for the night, Russell went back into the locker room, put his UNIFORM BACK ON, and went out into the empty stadium with a young boy through the Make A Wish foundation and played catch and talked with him for almost an hour.

Another story about this selfless guy and a wallet that a 10 year old heart transplant recipient girl made for him.

site with playoff chances for each team, based on Monte Carlo, etc. Takes into account ability of each team and strength of schedule for remaining 4 games.

Seem to consider PHILLY to be stronger team than DALLAS .... or perhaps remaining schedule favors PHILLY (if DAL @ WASH is tough game?). Results unexpected.

MIA has softer schedule than BALT (very tough) ... would get interesting for a bunch of teams if MIAMI stumbles.

Hey, I'm sure Russell Wilson is a prince of a fellow... but when the game whistle blows, he's just another Seahag we need to pound into the ground-- Right, Don?

Bend, that story reminds me of what happened to me back in the 1960s. After a game in the Cotton Bowl... I was in the sack with this really hot Braniff stew at the Adolphus. We finished up as she had flight to catch. As I put her in a cab, I ran into a Pan Am stew coming off a flight from Hong Kong via San Francisco.

Yes, you guessed it, like Russell Wilson, I went back up to my room... took off my clothes again to help that tired stew get her wish to come true!

And where old Russell does... ads--

I did 'em... too!

Russell Wilson and me, like two peas in a pod... right, Tom?

Without a doubt, Don... without a doubt--

Eh--- Tom? You been... at the Jim beam?

Llke a house afire, Bend... like a house afire!

Re:

Now, just where... have I seen this before?

Was it... in Zero Hour?

"Joey, here's something we give our special visitors... Would you like to have it?"

No, no-- It must have been... in Airplane--

"Joey, have you ever been... in a Turkish Prison?

No, not, again-- But what... make me recall it?

"You ever been... in a locker room?

There are only 2 men I would gay “marry”: Ronald Reagan and Russell Wilson.

Gadzooks! Out of the running... again!

[GOPsterinMA]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding, although I am a RR fanatic.

Russell Wilson does seem to be the real deal though; very religious and spiritual. Not a thug.

“Gadzooks!” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GOPsterinMA]

I hadn’t been hatched yet, but wasn’t Dandy Don the party animal back in the day?

Was he the QB before or after Roger Staubach or was it Danny White?

[Bender2]

Yes, I guess I was a party animal... wasn't I, Tom?

Without a doubt, Don... without a doubt--

For basic info about Dandy Don, go to his Wikipedia page--

Or check out what Walt Garrison said about Don--

Lastly, you can take my word for it, while I was not a close friend of Don Meredith... I did on occasion share a drink in his vicinity in the late 1960s and once worked an early 1980s Monday Night Football Game in Houston as a bartender for Dandy's sidekick Howard Cosell. Don recognized me and called me by name, adding, "You worked for Peggy Taylor Talent, didn't you?"

Yes, I did--

[Dysart]

ESPN report names ESPN’s Jon Gruden as a possible Texans coach

[GOPsterinMA]

Bender, that’s awesome! Dandy Don was as sincere as he seemed.

[Liberty Valance]

That Dandy Don Tea & Beam ad is hilarious! I am stealin’ that one. ;o)
