You're about nine years too late on that one How ya figure, 9-10 years ago was the tailend of Death Metal explosion. Judgeing by the coverage PM is getting over in Europe (terrizor recently dedicated 3 issues on it) sales and concerts are on the rise. Of course here in the states, meh, the metal scene, regardles of genre is suffering. Most "metal historians" (for lack of any more dignified term I can come up with), including myself, would point to 1997 as the revival of Euro-power metal with Hammerfall's Glory to the Brave, and to a lesser extent Rhapsody's Legendary Tales. This in turn led to both an influx of new fans and bands to the genre, as well as bringing attention to some Euro-PM bands who had been around for awhile, like Blind Guardian, Stratovarius and Gamma Ray. On another note, I just noticed the band you were touting, and it made me think of the large number of metal bands today named Dragon(something-or-other), which even I find it tiring at this point.

You're about nine years too late on that one

Jesu (new band by the guy from Godflesh)

Good movie, too many sequels

Do they have any Malmsteen songs on here?

Careful there, IggytheGreek

I agree with the sentiment that if he wasn't going to win it this year, he's never going to

"Yeah right, sea-cow!"

On one side, you have a legend, a hall of famer, a deity among men, one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, and on the other side you have.... Shawn Michaels

With his luck, he'll just get his ass kicked by Taker, but not fired.

Tony Dungy: Marty Schottenheimer for a new generation. Mine was more in reference to Lushus's remark about "Hire me, I can't win you a Superbowl, but I can make it so the next guy can!"

They get attempted votes

Tony Dungy, the NFL's answer to Buck Showalter

Clearly they haven't been updating adminbot's software

The only team to make the SB playing all road games was the '85 Pats, so that should answer your question

How long until the freshness expires

Time for another Bored style fun-facts post: This is the first time in the SB-era that all four coaches (Holmgren, Fox, Shanahan and Cowher) in the conference title game have a SB appearance as a head coach. Six times there have been three coaches, but never all four Odd man out in parentheses: 1998: Shanahan, Reeves, Parcells (Green) 1993: Johnson, Levy, Seifert (Schottenheimer) 1984: Walsh, Shula, Noll (Ditka) 1983: Flores, Gibbs, Walsh (Knox) 1977: Landry, Grant, Madden (Miller) 1973: Shula, Grant, Landry (Madden)

Out of curiousity what time does the game air in (eastern) Australia?

"If you wanna call me Chris to my face one more time, you better take a station break."

Ironically, I believe this is Cowher's first AFC title game not at home.

I just realized that this is Cowher's sixth AFC title game appearance since '94

Too early in '98 for that
