Nope, its those ridiculous Jets and their coach with the mouth that won't quit I really can't stand
I am a Jets fan, but not a Rex fan and definately not a Woody Johnson fan. Don't see anything good coming for the Jets in the next few years.

Destined to, oh nevermind, we shall see what Sunday brings (when the Pats will be resting and taking notes for the second round).

Two possessions, two touchdowns...

REDSKINS 14 Sea Hawks 0 1st Quarter....

The 'Skins appear to have invited Seattle to be the guests of honor at a butt kicking party.... :ok

Griffin's knee is pretty banged up, but his passing is dead on....


And the only one to pick the Skins to win on the pre game show was the former Dallas coach Jimmy Johnson...

Hey! Terry and Howie:

Well, that was a short party.... :?

The Sea Hawks decided to show up for the second quarter, and now the Redskins are hanging on to a one point lead, 14-13 at the half....

So much for destiny...

In other news;

from Wikipedia-

Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on a field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team. A run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the crease there without being dismissed. The teams switch between batting and fielding at the end of an innings....

Pass the Marmite, please...

I was watching this game tonite, Jim.

I thought of you.

Well being a long time SF Giants fan, we got very used to the post season mantra:

"Wait until next year." :(

Seahawks are definitely a hot team. Sad to see the brilliant RG3 re-injure his knee; could have been a whole different story had it held up.

That may be the spread but I think Green Bay has the experience edge.

British Ceylon, known contemporaneously as Ceylon, was a British Crown colony between 1815 and 1948. At first the area it covered did not include the Kingdom of Kandy, which was a protectorate from 1815, but from 1817 to 1948 the British possessions included the whole island of Ceylon, now the nation of Sri Lanka.

I can love and not love at the same time. But I will always root against Bills team. He shoulda been my coach. :arg
