Pfft. Cowboy fan since I was 5 and living in Southfield, MI.  The national game was usually the 'Boys, and my other choice was the Cowardly Lions. Easy choice between flash and flab.   


Your dating yourself Fatman....I too grew up in MI loving the Cowboys but still hold the Lions as a close second regardless of the dismall showing the last twenty years or so...I didn't watch a game today but I already know the outcomes so I just visited with family..

On a personal note, I went to high school with Gary Hogeboom and the rest of his family...He's a proud Grand Rapidian.....Played golf with his sister at our last reunion...

Cool! I lived on Rock Creek Drive, across the street from the Tigers Bill Freehan in '66-68.  That was fun. Used to play catch with him and the other Tigers. Lolich, McLaine, Kaline and Northrup lived somewhere nearby.  Got Freehan's autograph on a ball (he dated it, too) the day after they won the series, and he got the others to sign it for me. My brother used it to play ball 6 yrs later...

One day I woke up at 0h-Dark-Hundred to a loud metallic noise... looked out my bedroom window and saw McLaine and someone else bent over double in the street laughing hysterically. They were going fishing that day - the bumper of Freehan's wagon was dangling off the rear of the woody, still chained to a light pole....  ;D

Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.
