| Go Bolts! I hear LT is back, not sure about Rivers. The Patriots will be a hard team to beat, but they aren't unbeatable like they think they are.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

Sorry, but we have something a little better and played faster than your version, it is called Rugby. In total (with the half-time break, it takes about 90 mins to play, not 2-3 hours due to stoppage time (like players needing to get their breath back after running 10 yards  ), but you do have to pay more attention to what is happening. |

| NFL is a girly sport. Real men don't need headwear and shoulder padding (sounds just like Ladies Day at Ascot, 1988? :) )Speaking of the late 80's, our school team back then played against another school that had a couple of exchange students from Fort Worth, or somewhere, who were linebackers - whatever the hell that is. Great big strapping lads, we looked forward to a good game. I remember them being in a big hurry to try Rugger for the first time, as term was over soon and it was our last game at that school. Long story short, when they returned State-side, one of them had a dislocated Rotator Cuff. The other one left behind a 3 of his front teeth in the mud. Do please watch for those tackles, dear chaps, they can get rough. I guess a small part of Great Britain will forever be American soil...:)Jaybee. |

| I can only assume that the reason we haven't heard anything from Brett yet is because he was at the (greenbay) game and is now nursing his Frost-bitten goodies back to health...Be One with the OptimizerTG |

| I'm so disappointed in the Chargers. Four touchdown attempts and all we get are field goals. How frustrating!Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

| But Giants played ok. Well, don't need overtime if didn't make three mistakes. Anyway, W is W and they have chance in super bowl. |

Reminded me of the Chargers from the early-mid 90's....I thought I saw John Carney on the field several times. ;)Touchdown, Carney! (The guy was an awesome kicker for S.D. and about the only way the Bolts could win a game back then). |

Hey, they gave the Pats a good game, give them credit. The Patriots showed why they are great -- not because they can pass the ball all over the place, but because they can adapt and become a "power rushing/defense" team if necessary. Brady had a horrible game, but the rest of the team stepped up and showed they are not just a supporting cast for the quarterback.I think Ladanian is a bit of a wimp, I can't believe he wasn't out there. We'll find out how much he was injured eventually. Are people in SD giving him any grief over not playing? I guarantee, he'll feel fine for the pro bowl and be out there.Also, I thought Rivers played very well and had a good gritty performance. Give him lots of credit for being out there and playing pretty well. One of the INTS wasn't his fault, the receiver should have had it.- Jeffhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/JeffS |
