It was indeed a great comeback and an entertaining one to watch.

Even better considering the offense contibuted precisely zero to the points total!!

I drove past it a few weeks ago - can't believe it's literally on the lake, right downtown.  What a great setting.

In fact, it deserves it's own picture:

Well they have finally added an attack to go with the defense. Last season we kept most teams scoring low and managed to win by one score.

It was almost a case of more points were scored by the defense in interceptions and fumble recoveries then by the offense.

Now we are just steam rolling everbody so far. Only Minesota has given us a close game.


Oops, was it something I said?

Blame ukredsox. He has never been the same since he had his first thread linked in another  :smt002

Also blame him as i am sure he is pissed off that Uncle Lou is now the manager of the Cubs. He hates everything that has been touched by the Yankees.

"Blame ukredsox" - I do think that the linking gave be a certain amount of credibility that I was lacking before  8-[



"Lou" - "Hey, Abbotttttttttt"

Although I've got nothing againist Piniella, I do think that either Bruce Bochy or Joe Giradi would have been a better choice for a team that's rebuilding and has ownership with record on unwillingness to spend.

However, if Lou can swing a deal with the Yankees to get A-Rod then the Cubs may be in with a shot next year in what could be a weaker division. The Cardinals are getting old and their window of opportunity may be closing. Likewise, the Astros without the Rocket and Pettite may not be a threat. Give it a couple of years and it should be the Brewers and Cubs dominating the NL Central.

I now return you to you regular NFL coverage ........

I know that they were only playing Arizona, but you've got to start somewhere.

The Raiders losing streak is history

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Villains continue to struggle

Did you all noticed that the club shop is now selling Cleveland Browns shirts?

The monsters of the midway had a week off to recover from their mini scare last week. Hopefully normal service will resume next week !!!

Good news for UK based NFL fans.

It looks like we may get a game over here soon.

Maybe Randy can use his connections to get the game at Villa Park
