At least we're not Jaguaring.
You stay away from my beach house, well it's not on the beach, but it's close to it.
I do wish the Pats had a cheesy, college-style team fight song from the early 60s. I love those things and I don't know why Billy Sullivan didn't commission someone to write one for the team back then.
I thought I had seen all of these videos, never saw that one. That's amazing. The big finale of the fans doing The Wave really topped it off.
Every time we scored at Gillette. Maybe not since 2001, but certainly for the past decade+...
Sweet merciful crap.
I remember in the pregame there was a Pats O Lineman wearing a hat with "WAR" written on it saying "It's gonna be WAR" over and over. I recall just feeling pity for the poor guy.

This is the greatest thing Ive ever seen. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. The only thing that could've made this a tick better is if Billy Hicks appeared for a sax solo. I think timing wise it would've worked.
Thank you for appreciating it's greatness.
Billy Sims was one of the stars of my strat-o-matic football game, 1983 (Gary Danielson, however, was not). I had forgotten Sims was injured the next year, ending his career. Already the Detroit record holder for rushing he would of course be eclipsed by Barry Sanders, and might be pretty much forgotten in Detroit? Hope not. He was almost always good for 4-5 yards a pop (in my games)…
Singletary grabbed Stanley Morgan's arm and broke up the pass and Don Blackmon had nothing but green in front of him when he dropped that wounded duck McMahon threw............coulda, shoulda, woulda is right.
Worn by every cementhead at my gym back in the early 1990's.
Most fans in Michigan of a certain age remember Sims and put him with a considerable number of ballers (Megatron, Chris Spielman, Herman Moore, Matt Stafford, etc) who toiled for that cursed franchise. Fun fact: Sims was one of three Loins to wear #20 (Barry and Lem Barney).
I hope MC Hammer got paid by the Dolphins for allowing them to use and then butcher his equally crappy song.
okay that’s great to hear. I was of the age when I had favorite players more than a favourite team, and he was up there for me, with Payton, among backs.
As unquestionably horrendous as it was, it contains nothing quite as tragic as Gary Fencik’s attempt at dancing in the Super Bowl Shuffle. Which set both dancing and Yalies back decades.
And all that happened after Lin Dawson tore his ACL on the first Pats play from scrimmage, resulting in his missing a likely TD pass. Dawson would miss the entire following season and was never close to the same.
On the other hand, the '85 Bears are indisputably one of the five best teams of all-time so it wasn't all that shocking. The Pats' first two SB teams weren't juggernauts, but they had the misfortune of running into historically great teams.
Yes, it depends on how you look at it. The Manning safety is fastest in terms of time elapsed (12 seconds) but it came on the game's second play. Hester scored on the first play but it took him 14 seconds to do it.
Ray Berry thought he could outsmart Ditka/Ryan and beat them with the pass early on. The first 6 Pats offensive plays were pass calls. 5 incompletions and a sack. This from a team that threw 12 passes total in the AFC champ game (and ran FIFTY NINE times).
The 46 was an 8-man box that played over the OL guards. CB's were isolated in single coverage with a FS up high. The SS walked around the LoS depending on the gap. It was designed to stop an 80's style 2-back run-oriented offense. Miami was successful against it in '85 because - according to Marino - "we spread them out a little" (I think that was what he said in the 30 for 30). I'm not saying the Pats were trying to Marino the Bears, but rather that a running attack would have also failed miserably.
I get it. The Pats were going to lose regardless of what they tried. It just always struck me as odd that they didn't at least try to establish the run, since that was entirely what their offense was predicated on. Eason's passing lines heading into that game were 8-15, 12-16, 7-14 and 10-12.
And that he thought simply dividing a 200m time by 2 would give you the runner's 100m time.
