I never missed The Friendly Giant! "Look up, waaaay up!"

This was definitely during the RKO General days.

I don't remember Mr. Dressup, but do remember the French tutelage program Chez Helene paired with The Friendly Giant in the same half-hour.

There also was a terrible call early in the game on what should've been a completed pass + unrecovered fumble. Instead, the refs ruled the pass incomplete and robbed the Bears of a first down. I believe the Bears ultimately scored a TD on that same drive. That play didn't pass the eyeball test as a...

What exactly is a "reserve/futures contract"? It's exactly the same as a regular active-roster contract, with the regular rules for minimum veteran salaries, cap charges, signing bonuses, etc. The only difference is that it doesn't take effect until the start of the next League Year (this year, tha...

From long-time Lions beat writer, columnist, and observer Mike O'Hara : As for Cooter’s future, that will be decided soon enough along with numerous other personnel decisions – both players and head coach Matt Patricia’s staff. One man’s opinion: I understand the criticism of Cooter’s play calling ...

I would rather still have Harris and Marjanovic on my team, my lottery pick, and my cap space!! FWIW, that lottery pick turned out to be none other than ex-Spartan Miles Bridges at #12, a talented underachiever if there ever was one. Hypothetically speaking, if the Pistons had not made the Griffin ...

The Pistons' back court is brutally bad. ...and the absence of injured Ish Smith doesn't help. I didn't see the Indiana game, but I take it the score told the story. The L.A. Clippers / Pistons trade from last season will go down as one of the worst trade deals in Detroit sports history, IMO. The B...

You didn’t care for “Bridge Of Sighs” I personally thought it kicked ass. I thought Trower's gruff sounding guitar was a good earthy foil for Procol Harum's interplay of keyboards. Fronting his own band, he became a Hendrix-like virtuoso, a hint of which can be heard on Harum's "Song for a Dreamer"...

Top 5 favorites? I'm assuming we're talking in the pop/rock realm with a limit of one LP per artist. In no particular order: Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull Exotic Birds and Fruit - Procol Harum Word of Mouth - The Kinks Beggar's Banquet - Rolling Stones The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus - Spirit ...

And now that he's running the offense for arguably the top team in the NFL, he's doing a national USAA commercial.

Yes, Virginia, you can be de-Lionized. Ditto Schwartz, Marinelli, and Morningweg.

Well folks, flame and bbq me until I'm nothing but charred fat, but I think Patricia should be given 2 years before he gets seriously critiqued. I'll just keep you on the back-burner on "low" till the inevitable overboiling and implosion next season. :razz Seriously, I agree with you in principle, ...

White today and snowing like nuts through Thursday.

Well, KEEP it up there! ( )

Sorry to bump this thread, but I somehow missed it. Back in the day (1934-76) there was an annual pre-season match-up between the NFL Champion versus a team of College Senior All-Stars . It's not exactly analogous to Mr. Metalhead's original proposed scenario, but close enough. The overall record wa...

I want to paste this bit from an interview of former Patriots and Lions guard Damien Woody in the Boston Globe and see if it sounds familiar as regards much of the sentiment I'm hearing towards the Quinn/Patricia regime. You were drafted by the Patriots in 1999, before Bill Belichick was coach. And ...
