How they took such an interesting concept as The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen and FUBARed it so spectacularly is beyond me.

Ric Flair (to Gene Okerlund, with Bobby Heenan and Mr. Perfect) following Royal Rumble 92: "It's the greatest moment of my life. I want to jump, I want to party...but I gotta tell you like this: for the Hulk Hogans, for the Macho Mans, and the Pipers, and the Sids, NOW it's Ric Flair! And y'all pay homage to the man! WHOO!!!"

Just one problem with that...Vlad doesn't want to go to New York. He's not very comfortable in huge cities. You don't think that if Steinbrenner thought for a moment that he could sign Vlad, he'd have an offer on the table immediately?

Jim Fassel will end up in Arizona, where he has very strong ties. Dunno who's going to Buffalo.

Not sure, but it might let MJ get out of the trouble he's in.

Bruce Smith's 200 sacks (career). Although, as I'm sure has been pointed out many times, Deacon Jones probably got that many sacks in three seasons.

Didn't feel like creating a new thread...ESPN.com is reporting that Dick Jauron was fired this morning as coach of the Bears.

Here's a suggestion...since we're picking the score of each game, not the total, instead of doing total points for each game, why not do difference between the predicted score and the actual score? For example, using your picks: Human Fly would win the Baltimore game, with three points difference from the actual score vs. Verne's 6. (Human Fly got Tennessee's score exactly right while missing Baltimore's score by 3; Verne missed both teams' actual score by 3.) Human Fly would win the Dallas game, with 3 points difference vs. 13. Verne would win the Seattle game, with 20 points difference vs. 23. Verne would win the Denver game, with 7 points difference vs. 15. Hm. Tied. Anyway...if you're not using the actual score of the game as a tiebreaker, you may as well just ask us to pick totals and be done with it, instead of trying to figure out what the actual score will be.

Orange: Yeah, ok.

Now THIS is a real belt.

So much for the record. Not enough yardage left.

I wouldn't say that they're cursed. They have just never had any heart and lose to inferior teams in the playoffs because they think they're in the Super Bowl before the NFC Championship and are more focused on sponsorships than the game. Yeah, cursed teams don't lose 41-0 to an inferior team in the league semifinals. Cursed teams would lose 40-38 on a ref's blown call and the most unlikely play you could think of.

I didn't see it, but that Cal/Va Tech game looked like a classic.

Glad you like it. I just happened to have him lying around.

INTERCEPTION! This is a weird game.

Pfft. Rams fans have no reason to cry...they're the number 2 seed in the NFC, fer Christ's sake! I'm sure the Vikings would give their left arm to be right now. As a Vikings fan, I'm not crying...the team showed no heart, and didn't deserve to make the playoffs, no matter what happened this weekend.

2,105 yards is a little scared right now.

Theismann is going to have a coronary on the air yelling at these refs.

That was probably the touchdown record. Emmitt never came anywhere near breaking the single-season rushing record.

*Gives CC Edge*

Halfway home, with one half and change to go...

Yep. Died in 1998 from heart problems.

81 yards away.

Good God...Lewis passes 2000 on an incredible TD run. He could get this record by halftime at this rate.

Nah...every time he tries to type up his oh-so-special encounter, he starts crying and can't continue. He's probably crying as we speak. He may cry for the rest of his life. Have some compassion, people.
