When Nitro had old timers like Tito Santana involved in a major storyline. I thought this isn't something a company in trouble should be doing. Than the next week Benoit, Malenko, Guerrero, and Saturn jumped ship.
Let me expand the thread. What in your opinion is the most impressive dynasty in all of sports?
Montreal from 76-79. Won 4 Stanly Cups.
1975-76 58-11-11
1976-77 60-8-12
1977-78 59-10-11
1978-79 52-17-11
For those wondering. Attempts at a 3 peat.
Green Bay missed the playoffs in 1968.
Miami lost to Oakland in the 1st round in 1974.
Pittsburgh lost to Oakland in AFC title game in 1976, and missed the playoffs in 1980.
San Fran. lost to New York in the NFC title game in 1990.
Dallas lost to San Fran. in the NFC title game in 1994.
Denver missed the playoffs in 1999.
I'm just against the idea of a union between two of gay or lesbian couples being called "marriage". No problem with civil unions, where they receive the same benefits. Just want to keep certain things traditional.
Know before somene asked. What does matter to you if they're married. No it probably won't affect me personally. Just something I believe, based a lot on what the term has always meant.
What was Montana doing the NFL Network ads? It seemed like they where implying there's always next year. For the players who haven't won a Super Bowl. If I missed a player who has won before, I apologize. But Montana seemed out of place in the ad.
Oh and the "Thank You" ad by Budweiser. Does anyone know if those where real members of the military.
Stan seems like a mix of Peter and Joe.
The Son is like Chris and Neil (has mentioned earlier)
The Fish might be comparable to Quagmire with better pickup lines.
The Alien was a mix of Brian and Stewie.
NE at this point is a short term dynasty. Doesn't mean it's any less of less of a dynasty.Pittsburgh and San Fran. did it over longer periods.
Pittsburgh from 72-79. Won 4 Super Bowl and appeared in 6 AFC title games and won 8 straight AFC Central titles.
San Fran. from 81-94 won 5 Super Bowls, appeared in 9 NFC championship games and won the NFC West 10 times.
Salisbury and Irvin where having a discussion about how was better NE or Dallas of the 90's. Salisbury's reasoning for NE being better was they proved they could win close games. Irvin of course said, we didn't have to win close games.
In the same sense the NFL made it harder to have dynasty, wasn't it harder for Pitt. San Fran. and Dallas to be dominate since they had better teams to compete against?
I agree. For Montana and Brady the really contributed to getting their teams to the Super Bowl. Bradshaw had very mediocre numbers. He came up big when it mattered most, but of those 3 he did the least during the season.
It's cool their team won, and they're certainly happy. However is it really necessary to congratulate them? They didn't do anything but cheer and support the team they like.
They need to lose 3 more Super Bowls to be the Vikings. A more fair comparision might be the LA Rams of the 70's. They lost 3 straight NFC title games, 2 at home. Before making the Super Bowl in 1979. Know the Eagles will be continue to be a contender, but I'm refering to up to the moment.
Why was it a good trade for D'Backs? Cruz has .336 career OB%, and .455 slugging. He'll hit 20-25 Hr's 75-80 bi's when healthy. Fossum's an underachiever, but I wouldn't call this even a good trade for Arizona.
Probably going to be said what's already been said, but the clock managment was horrible. Probably cost the Eagles a chance to tie the game, without any luck. Anytime you pretty much have to try an onside kick your relying on a lucky bounce to get the ball back.
