Neil... 8 irishmen to screw in a light bulb... BWWAAAAHHAAA!!!!! Hope you don't mind if i steal that one to use on some irish drunk buddies of mine!

You and frank's story of watching the fight at the Coliseum brings back memories... I saw the first Duran Leonard fight (the real one, not the second won where they made the ring 5 miles square so Leonard could run his pussy ass away from Duran and Roberto threw his hands up and quit rather than look bad throwing the fight like he was told to) with my bro in that small movie theater on Fulton av in Hempstead, i can't think of the name.... the crowd that night was 600 blacks rooting for Leonard and 2 Jews rooting for Manos de Piedra.... we didn't get too friendly looks after we cheered like hell when Leonard got knocked on his ass..

This just in from Chicago, reputed mob leader Joey "the Clown" Lombardo was apprehended in Elmwood Park just outside of Chicago after evading authorities for over nine months. How timely.

Lombardo and 13 others were charged with 18 unsolved murders and the act of running the mob as an organization of criminal enterprise.

Among his collaborators Frank "the German" Schweihs a well known long time mob enforcer/hitman. Both men are well into their 70's.

Huh. No Irish... oh well I guess they're working on that light bulb. Well as an Irishman I resemble that remark.

Glad you popped in ... lol

I like Pittsburgh tomorrow

also .... I'm big on coaches in very important games

I feel there is a distinct coaching advantage in all 4 games and in all cases the team with the better coach is GETTING POINTS


Gibbs vs Holmgren ..... GIBBS HUGE

Shanahan vs. Belichek .... BB

Cowher vs Dungy .... without question ... Cowher

Smith vs. Fox .... FOX ... I dont know this Lovie Smith .... I don't know if he will be able to handle the stress !


It's a lifeboat weekend ... take the points and row like hell ... lol


Great coaches can hide a multitude of shortcomings on their teams.

But if I had to give 1 play only .... it would be Pittsgurgh tomorrow.

The Colts have not played a meaningful game in nearly 2 months. Some Rust ? Maybe
