  1. trader..Vinateri?? Dungy?? what the hell do they even know about the 58 Colts?? Unitas is rolling over in his grave.
  2. In a current country song, Jamey Johnson sings the refrain, "You should have seen it in color," referring to a grandfather's vivid memories of times past captured in black-and-white photographs. Like those old photos, most documents of the legendary Baltimore Colts- New York Giants 1958 NFL title game -- the game that launched pro football into American sports ascendancy -- have existed in black and white. But producers of ESPN's documentary The Greatest Game Ever Played (9 p.m. tomorrow) have pieced together footage of the game for this 50th anniversary special and colorized it. The fact of the matter is, though -- just like in the song -- it is hearing the recollections of the grandpas that truly brings this event into living color. ESPN Films took players from that game (and a selected few others) and matched them with current Indianapolis Colts and New York Giants, the teams that have won the past two Super Bowls -- among them: Art Donovan with Michael Strahan, Raymond Berry with Tony Dungy, Lenny Moore with Brandon Jacobs, Pat Summerall with Adam Vinatieri, Gino Marchetti and Frank Gifford with Tom Coughlin. This could have come off as nothing more than a gimmick, but it is what most makes the documentary worth watching. The modern players let the old-timers do most of the talking, but the younger men are unfailingly respectful and seem genuinely thankful for the legacy built by the players from the 1950s. To quickly address what is probably a concern for many old Colts fans: Yes, the documentary acknowledges the departure of the team for Indianapolis. And it might not sit well with some of you to hear Colts coach Dungy say, "We feel a bond to that '58 team." But listen to it in the context of the show, and it sounds perfectly right. Dungy is an asshole... ESPN you have done an injustice to the Baltimore Colts Fans. more Hey Dungy, you should of had a bond with your kid!!!!!!! Football is an Effin GAME!!!!!!!!
  3. Say what you want about BB but Cameron's got one huge advantage, something Billick never had... How many more chances did we want to give Billick, he's had his fair chance with QB's..He screwed over Trent Dilfer for Grbackwards, He screwed over Chris Redman, he threw Boller to the wolves. I dont know WTF Billick was thinking in the 06 playoff game vs The Colts, we are averaging 4 yards per carry on the ground in the 1st half, yet he decides to change the game plan in the 2nd half and 8-Ball Jamal only touches the ball 4 times..He thinks McNair can beat the Colts thru the air?? That turned out well for us. Lets not forget he only had Moss & Pepper for 1 season, and hell I could throw the ball to that freak and he'd get me a raise.
  4. Even with Tex, this team is not going to compete in 2009. So if he is going to ask for absurd numbers, beyond his value, why should we pay them? Because he's a hometown boy and the fans want him so bad? I mean, don't get me wrong, good PR never hurts and I want Tex... but not at any cost. If we are at 160 mil, go 165 or 170..Make Boston overpay..
  5. I do that occasionally..You playing the Md Power Ball, I think its up to 200+ million.
  6. Single signed baseballs bring the best value to a ball unless its an entire team signed ball..I got 1100 for a 1958 Colts team signed ball in poor condition. Good condition Colts team signed balls were fetching 25,000. If you need the money, sell it, but I think Baines is going into the HOF. it would bring more value when Baines gets in. Raffy screwed his chance of getting in.
  7. One question though...is an underwater camera a real need in your life? Yes Sir, the Mrs makes me take her away every year in May..And those dam throw away cameras while convenient, dont give me the quality picture on underwater- reefs..The pictures I take with the throwaways do not justify the beauty of the Caribbean..And a little scuba lessons are in the near future, so I might as well make the best of it..
  8. EBAY!!! Nobody bids against you anymore?? I just won my son an authentic Steve Smith Jersey {yeah I know} for 20.00.. Hell I want an underwater digital camera..139.00 Im hi bidder on a 600.00 camera. :lol:
  9. 6 take it to your bookie-OVER
  10. And we will slap the slap out of the slappies from NW PA.
  11. I think one for the thumb should be our battle cry, after all we do have 4 NFL Championships in Baltimore.. February in Tampa, has a nice feel to it...
  12. Very interesting tid bit out of Vegas..The point spread for our game opened up as the Ravens favored by 1 point..By Wednesday afternoon, 68% of all money bet in Vegas was placed on the Stealers +1 point..So naturally, if Vegas wants to break even, they would "move" the point spread to Even or at 68% the Steelers would deserve to be favored by 1..But what did Vegas do, the made the Ravens 2 1/2 point favorites for Sundays game. This is turning into a "trap" bet..Something in my gut is telling me there will be some upset Stealer Bandwagon fans thruout PA pissed off come 7:30 Sunday Night.. My bet is already secured on site, Im on the Ravens -2 1/2 points..
  13. Tell me about it, I have a Steak lunch with our salesman bet, also a case of Molson Goldens on the line with a yard guy..I hate losing!!
  14. Too bad they dont have a Joe Flacco..He is going to light their asses up.. OTR!!!!!!!!!
  15. If we have to rely on Stover, we are in trouble.
  16. so obnoxious. Not obnoxious, its the green eyed envy monster.
  17. Theres an article in the Post Gazette on Harrison and that 04 season..He ripped the Ravens orginization for sending him to NFL Europa.
  18. Hey dee, wheres that pic of the Stealer Fan with the pocket book?? I think it was in a leatard
  19. Tell angelos to get his sorryass off his wallet, up the ante if he wants to compete. If not..Its cellar dwellers for some time to come.
  20. Tex is playing Baltimore like a 2 dolla ho, he'll be in Boston come spring training.
  21. Geico So easy, a Stealers Fan could do it.
  22. Dont know, NE will start a Rookie that has thrown 4 passes..Element of suprise.
  23. His dad was found dead last night at his home in Cali.
