Re: Chances the Raiders go 0-16

To place blame for 0-10 on a promising rookie QB w/no supporting running game would be crazy. There are chances still for a Raider win in 2014. Next up is the Chiefs at home, and this could be a trap game for KC. Maybe a letdown after the Seattle win? Chiefs play Denver a week later so the Raider ar...

Re: Stanford Stadium and Super Bowl XIX

Current Stanford Stadium seats 50K. The old stadium could fit 85K. The new second deck & removal of the track makes it a much more intimate venue. Hardly ever filled the old stadium, so it lacked energy.

Bingo! OK, in all seriousness, can the web host provide just a little more flexibility than 6 KiB? This is like offering free health care w/ a $50K deductible.

Re: The Holy Roller

I believe the only guy w/ a guilty conscience on that play should be Pete Banaszak. Stabler was not fumbling forward, he was trying to throw the ball away to stop the clock. Pete was keenly aware he couldn't get pinned down w/ a live ball so he "lost" control. Casper tried to pick it up, f...

Re: ridiculous password requirement

I'm unable to access the forum without logging in. If I click on the home pages' Forum tab it says there are no forums. I'm hoping this changes, as this is not exactly a welcoming to a casual public search. -John
