Masters of the Gridiron
While looking for something on YouTube I came across the incredibly ridiculous Masters of the Gridiron.
It’s probably been 20 years since I’ve seen but it all came back so quickly: the Baabarian, the Plains of Passrushin, Golican, the Hills of Linebacka (I could never figure out why Nicolai had a giant dildo on his helmet), the Michael Stanley Band, Tiny Tim and the rest.
And seeing the players come out of the dugout at the old stadium made me realize how much I miss the old dump and those teams from the mid-’80s.

So James Harrison claims he going to retire because he doesn’t know how to play any other way than by delivering illegal head shots? Sure he is. I’m a bit embarrassed my alma mater turned out such a drama queen.

Turns out some other players are not happy with the NFL new stance on head shots.

More bad news on the injury front for the Browns as the team put Tony Pashos and Robaire Smith on IR today, further thinning the offensive and defensive lines. With right tackle John St. Clair still nursing an injury, it will be interesting to see how the right side of the offensive line shakes out Sunday in New Orleans.

The NFL is already crushing baseball’s playoffs in the ratings when they go head-to-head; wait until we get a San Fran-Texas World Series. Game 4 will be up against Sunday Night Football Halloween night and may be viewed by only friends and family.
