If the Jets luck out and make it to the Super Bowl, they will be embarrased by Brett Favre and and those big mean Vikings.
I gave up on the Jets back when they were unbelievably stupid to give away John Riggins. Back in the Namath days I was an avid Jets fan. Even went down to Baltimore in the Fall of '72 to see that great game where Namath threw for 500+ yards and Johnny Unitas threw for almost 400 yards. It was absolutely the greatest NFL game that I was fortunate to be at......I still have the ticket. You heard it here, the Vikings will go all the way. TED Z |

Ted - I blame Riggins' hair - it was between him and Barzilauskas - one of them had to go...
I can't make next week, but if it gets pushed into February, I can go. Lichtman's trial won't go anyway - he'll probably drop a last minute alibi witness/discovery request/expert on the prosecution and get an adjournment. I might be biased on that one though

What is it with these New York teams ?
Riggins was a free spirit, so he sported a "Mohawk" haircut one year and the Jets front office lets him go. Arguably, John was one of the best in the NFL running game. It was like a hex on the Jets to release Riggins....what have they done since the mid-'70s ? ? Similarly, Steinbrenner got bent out of shape when Don Mattingly sported a mini pony-tail hair style (circa 1993-94). Mattingly was never the same again from the resulting stress. TED Z |

As a Skins fan I say....Thank you New York.
He certainly is a free spirit and that has been evident this year with his verbal thrashing of the Redskins from top to bottom. It would be interesting to have heard his take if it was as focused on the Jets this year as it has been the Skins. Keeping the thread on topic: I will not be able to make the dinner. |

Don't throw out a date just for me, why not pick a few dates and see who can make it. The date with the most people wins :-)
I would prefer mid week actually as it is easier for me to get away from the wife :-D James G

These NYC Dinner threads are hilarious! All I can think of when I read them are Abbott & Costello going thru their "Who's on First" routine!
Barry--I can also appreciate your frustration in trying to be the organizer!

When Riggins went to the Redskins, I found a new team to root for. Anyhow, I always was a great Sonny Jurgensen fan,
and you had to love Mark Moseley's golden foot. I still remember when Riggins carried 4 (or was it 5) Miami Dolphins defenders across the goal line in Washington's victory in the 1983 Super Bowl. TED Z |
