Re: NFL Championship Game question (ticket distribution)

I know when the Lions played the Browns in Cleveland in the 1952 title game, Detroit GM Nick Kerbawy went to Cleveland and brought back a suitcase of tix which the club then offered, at cost, to Lions fans wanting to make the 175-mile journey to Cleveland. I would imagine he also did it for the 1954...

Re: Super Bowl LX, 2/8/26 Levi's Stadium

It was the double-digit win that many people on this board, including me, predicted, and kind of boring (I hate FGs), though I'm sure everybody enjoyed Lady Gaga's surprise halftime appearance. Well, maybe not everybody.Personally, I like anyone who can pull off wearing a "meat dress" as s...

Re: Matthew Stafford: HOVG, or HOF?

It's just solidified my long-held opinion that he's a legit HOFer. I wouldn't be surprised if he plays another 3-4 years and wins another SB ring. Just wish he could've done it in Detroit but he didn't have the supporting cast that the Lions have now. He's Dan Campbell's kind of player.

Re: Matthew Stafford: HOVG, or HOF?

Well, I've always liked Chicago (my daughter and her family lived there for many years) and I'm a Ben Johnson fan, so if the Lions or Stafford can't win it, I don't mind if the Bears do.

Re: Matthew Stafford: HOVG, or HOF?

Namath and Dawson(TSN) also did it for the AFL. Of all those QBs, it seemed like Elway carried his teams. Once Denver gave him a supporting cast, similar to Stafford with the Rams, he finally won a championship. Now, with expectations high, its time for Stafford to get that second championship, whi...

File it under Memoir. Super Bowl Sunday was kind of like deer camp, what with the vats of chili and horrendous beer farts, but with fewer firearms.

Re: Super Bowl LX, 2/8/26 Levi's Stadium

Really, I'm mostly watching for the commercials and Bad Bunny. Those Super Bowl parties with brothers and friends---pizza and cold cuts and poker, windows throw open on a 10-degree nite to air out the cigarette smoke and farts, stumbling out to the car at 3 a.m.---have gone the way of Tom Landry's f...

Re: Belichick, Reid... then who for Canton?

The world outside sports is all fucked up, but this runs a close second: Shedear (sp?) Sanders makes the Pro Bowl and BB doesn't make the HOF.

I'm pretty sure it's exactly like yours....no naked cheerleaders being shot out of cannons at halftime.
