Bigbuck, sorry to hear that you're a Steelers fan....I guess I can't chat with ya anymore...LOL

bigbuck92 - I knew I liked you for a reason!
the Seahawks didn't have any trouble with the Vikings.
But then again nobody will.
Hey Bigbuck 1 more weekend of preseason. Real stuff starts Sept 9.
=D>
The "AGC" is my rank and rate in the US Navy (Chief Aerographer's Mate).
j/k AGC, you know I still love ya!
Broncos all the way!!! :thumb
I can get along with just about anyone, even Steelers fans. :)
:))
NOT a Cowboys fan here!
I was born a Cowboys fan, I'll die a Cowboys fan. (Hopefull not from a heart attack brought on by fumbled snaps to win playoff games.)
Broncos with Jay Cutler, Travis Henry and Javon Walker are going to take out San Diego in the AFC west this year and with a Defense with Dre Bly, Champ Bailey and DJ Williams they are going to go far into the playoffs.......if not win it all..........I think Jay is going to take us far for many many many years to come!!!!!!!!! =D> ~~>> ~~>>
the good book! :thumb
The Broncos will be lucky if they finish at .500. Cutler is a hack and Henry will cramp up writing so many child support checks!
(Ya all know I love ya.....just thought we'd throw a little friendly trash-talkin' in there!!!)
Oh well, I guess I'll manage somehow...Just remember...SEAHAWKS, 2007-2008 WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!
BTW: Franco was the man regardless of the team. It doesn't hurt that he DID play for my Seahawks in his last year in the league (I KNOW, he was a shell of his former self...but I like throwing that out there anyway).
Oh...and one more thing: HOW THE HECK can ya be a Cowboys fan after what they did to Tom Landry?!?! The whole organization should have been turned over to the CFL for that classless act!
Nothing epitomizes the intensity of this storied rivalry better than what occurred when the teams met Oct. 10, 1976 at Cleveland Municipal Stadium. That's when, early in the fourth quarter on a first-down play from the Pittsburgh 26, Browns defensive end Joe "Turkey" Jones picked up Bradshaw as he sacked him for a 17-yard loss. But "sacked" does not do the play any justice. Jones turned Bradshaw upside down, and with every bit of his strength, drove him head first into the grass at the Dawg Pound end of the field.
It's a play that has been shown thousand upon thousands of times in the 30 years since it happened.
Bradshaw laid on his back and flopped like a fish. His quivering body was a scary sight, for there was the great fear that he had broken his neck.
The whistle had blown BEFORE Jones put Bradshaw on his head, but the roar of the crowd was so loud that he said he didn't hear it. So he kept playing.
For what it's worth, Steelers running back Franco Harris, who had been kept in on the play to block and was standing near Bradshaw when he got crunched, also said he didn't hear the whistle.
It was the second - and final - time that Bradshaw was knocked out of this game, and this time he stayed out for good and was replaced by Mike Kruczek.
The Immaculate Reception
Steelers beat Raiders on one of NFL's craziest plays
In 1972, the Pittsburgh Steelers completed their fortieth season by advancing to the playoffs for only the second time. Their first postseason appearance had been brief (a 21-0 loss to Philadelphia in 1947), and these Steelers seemed headed for a similar fate.
Harris races home with the "Immaculate Reception"
With 22 seconds left in an AFC Divisional Playoff Game at Three Rivers Stadium, Pittsburgh trailed the Oakland Raiders, 7-6 and faced fourth-and-10 from its 40-yard line. Art Rooney, the club's owner and founder, headed down the elevator to the locker room to console his team, thereby missing one of the wackiest plays and one of the most fantastic finishes in NFL history.
Pittsburgh quarterback Terry Bradshaw dropped back to pass, but the Raiders flushed him out of the pocket to the right. He saw running back John (Frenchy) Fuqua over the middle at the Raiders' 35, and with defenders closing, Bradshaw fired a pass toward Fuqua.
Fuqua, Raiders safety Jack Tatum and the ball converged simultaneously, and out popped the ball. The Raiders began to celebrate, not realizing that rookie running back Franco Harris, trailing the play at the Raiders' 42, had picked the ball out of the air at his shoe tops and taken off down the left sideline. Some Raiders gave chase, but they could not stop Harris from running to the end zone.
Touchdown? Nobody knew, including the officials. The Raiders argued that Fuqua had batted the ball to Harris (the rules of the time did not permit consecutive touches by offensive players). If Tatum had batted the ball, the play would have been a touchdown.
Referee Fred Swearingen, after consulting with NFL supervisor of officials Art McNally, came back on the field and ruled the play a touchdown. Pittsburgh kicked the extra point to take a 13-7 lead with five seconds left, a score that was finalized moments later.
For a franchise cursed by a four-decade run of bad luck, the "Immaculate Reception" amounted to an unbelievable dose of good fortune -- and a welcome turning point.
Steelers?!? They had a great decade (the 70's for those younguns who didn't know) and one fluke year
Cowgirls?!? Please, that team went way downhill when JJ took over the team. Sure, they won, excuse me, BOUGHT a few SB's (see how many players bounced between Dallas and SF during those years)
Broncos?!? Oh YEAH!!! No QB will EVER retire with the class of John Elway. For those that have been rooting for the team as long as I have (when Charlie Johnson was the QB), we got our due a few years back and more to come. Yet to see if they've got the team this year, but if not they are not far from it.
It's time for some Football!!!
