Sorry Hammer and Libby Mae...

Posted by: Jambo / 4:35 PM

...and cp and Jerjo for that matter since they also have some odd affection for NFC North teams, but if the NFL season ended today the Packers and Vikings, combined 0-4, would be out while the newly resurgent Washington Redskins would be the top NFC seed in the playoffs, well on their way to facing D's over-rated Steelers in the Super Bowl. For those of you new to this debate know that grade school aged Jambo (the formative football watching years) lived just outside the nation's capital in the glory years of George Allen (no, not the Senator from Virginia) Sonny Jurgenson and Charlie Taylor when President Nixon used to send the coach plays he had designed. (Allen did supposedly run one of them just to be polite and it resulted in a loss of yards.) But now, like Bart playing Homer in video boxing, I announce my retirement from football related banter for the remainder of the season secure in the knowledge that I have finished in first place. Thank you.

Jambo got the best birthday gift he could hope for, assuming he was able to stay up to watch the finale of last night's game. I have no doubt that Mark Brunell will carry the Washington [racial epithet deleted] far.

If he thinks a race team owner can actuly pull off a winner this year Jambo is mistaken. The superbowl goes through the Steel town this year. Stover

Yes D, I took a long nap and held off on my Metamucil until the 4th quarter. It was 13-7 when one of the Jamboettes decided it was time to wake up and demand a drink of water. When I returned afer getting her back to bed they were lining up for the extra point so I did not even get to see the big score live.

Bubba: what, not thru Cleveland?

"If the season ended today" is one of those phrases which should be accompanied by a conical hat. If the games ended mid-way through the first quarter last week, the Packers would've been tied and the Redskins would've lost.

I'd be more concerned about people in wedge shaped hats, Hammer.
Whistling past the graveyard: to be cheerful or optimistic in a situation that doesn't warrant cheer or optimism, to whistle in difficult circumstances to show that one is not concerned or frightened

Buffy never whistled in the graveyard, I'll follow her example.

My hometown high-school football team is 4-0, my NDSU Bison are 3-0 in the their second season in Division I, and what do the Vikings give me, an 0-2 start. I'd slash my wrists but 30 odd years of following the purple have led to massive amounts of scar tissue on said wrists...
