I'm not sure Tyree was technically down, his feet were on the floor and he was lying on his back) on top of Harrison.
Anyway, as Billy says... "what's done is done..." - so let's move on. Because I'm sulking.

So it's basically WWF Royal Rumble wrestling in a 100yard ring when a fumble happens.
Nice.

The Giants had lined up for the next play before the refs recovered the ball from the toothless granny had given up fighting for her handbag.

No, he's right. You should see those pandas go at it. Carnage. Fur and bamboo everywhere.

I have absolutely no idea what the current incarnation of wrestling is. Thankfully.

Mike Jones and Ted Brown - names were rubbish in 1985.

This was the year before they switched to Prokofiev and Frank "Hello, my name's Frank Gifford" Gifford as presenter.
"People" considered it too dry so then we got the nasty boys, or whatever that pair of planks were called.

Aye, and then they started showing any old game instead of waiting a full week so they could show highlights of the most exciting game. The fools!
I remember being pretty pissed off when I noticed that the papers were showing the results 4 days before the result run down and I had to force myself not to ruin the suspense by looking.

The worst thing for me is that I would spend sunday evenig listening to "AFRTS... The Armed Forces Radio and Television Service" as the signal wavered in an out, covered completely on many occasions by opera-singing bints, (usually at the most key moment in the game).
I'd write down the scores and even make audio tapes of the games to pass around at school the next day. Then on Tuesday I'd leaf through The Sun!1 in the newsagents (the 1985 version of eye-patching), to read the one paragraph they'd have on the NFL.
Then I'd sit excitedly in front of the show on the sunday only to find that Miami's game would receive about two lines of commentary and four seconds of footage.
1985 was especially bad, because we were the only team to beat Chicago, but because it was monday night football it didn't get to be the game of the week. :moop:

Sounds shit, glad I missed it and went straight in at C4.

I'm talking about C4. But "in my day" the sunday show showed the games from the previous sunday.

I only remember watching it at my Dads infrequently because the "live" show was on at a stupid time. The round-up I seem to remember a bit better, particularly for the animated intro. Still going back to 86'ish through to 90 when C4 gave up on it and I lost touch with pretty much the entire thing for the next 4 or 5 years other than in fleeting mentions of "Oilers....Titans...Warren Moon retires...bastard Elway gets trophies".

"Our numbers suggest that J.P. Losman was actually a bit more effective than Trent Edwards, but considering that Edwards was a rookie and Losman only plays one on television..."

Everyone has so far. It's the current funniest thing in the world for every single news/ESPN reporter.
They almost all missed the free "Dolphin-friendly Tuna" joke when Bill Parcells joined the team though. The planks.

OK, so I'm being sad... I'm watching the scoting combine today on nfl.com and I've just seen the RB McFadden run a 40-yd dash in 4.27 secs.
Oh my.
Top 3 pick fo'shizzle.

Post by Mr Bismarck's Electric Donkey on Feb 24, 2008 20:17:08 GMT
Aye, he's being pimped as the next Adrian Peterson, although he's nowhere near the aggressive runner that Peterson is. Not sure he's going in the top 3 though, unless someone trades up specifically to get him.

"Experts" on nfl network reckon Dallas might be up for that. I never rated experts very highly.

Dallas were rumoured to be sniffing around giving us their first or both first rounders and Marion Barber for the #1 overall to take McFadden, but that would be a bit daft if you ask me, as the Cowboy don't seem exactly sold on Julius Jones, so the move would leave them with a back they don't rate and a rookie.
Current fun is Atlanta giving us their #3 overall and DeAngelo Hall for our #1 overall and then picking QB Matt Ryan out of Boston. The Rams will go for Glen Dorsey, Chris Long or Jake Long and then we'd be at #3 to take one of those three or trade down again.
For the first time in, well, ever the Dolphins have a lot of cap room, (somewhere around $44m), so we can go for what we want in the draft and patch the rest in free agency.
We have a lot of entertaining options to fuck up this year.

40 yards in just over 4 secs? I used to be able to do that. I might still.
