Man, BunnyPapa and I laughed our asses off when Deion dropped the ball! I’m glad the 'Skins have him now; _they_ can buy his ace bandages for a while… \*\* And those 100 dollar head rags. 😃 ---

The Giants? I find them the least objectionable than the rest of Dallas’ rivals in the NFC East. And I do like those retro uniforms. I pretend that the Eagles game was still the pre-season, and nothing anybody can say will make me see the truth. I tell myself over and over that the Cardinals game was a fluke and the Cowboys _really_ won, despite what the scoreboard said. Now the 'Skins game? That was pure joy, although I couldn’t bring myself to watch at times. As long as they keep Cunningham in, I’ve still got hope… unless we lose to the 49ers next week (shiver!) Mostly, I was just glad to see Deion suck against the Cowboys rather than with the Cowboys. ---

So far, there have been three positive remarks about the Vikings so far in this thread. Please stop that. I’m trying not to get my hopes up. I live and die with the Vikings every year. So far, I’ve died, oh, _about a thousand times!_ Don’t mention them. Don’t even notice them. Go on about your business. Be quiet. Look the other way. Hush. (_ah geez i can’t stand it_) GO VIKES!!! RANDY MOSS IS GOD!!! DAUNTE CULPEPPER IS THE BIGGEST, BADDEST QUARTERBACK EVER!!! JOHN RANDALL EATS OFFENSIVE LINEMEN FOR BREAKFAST!!! PURPLE PRIDE!!! AHHH!!! AHHH!!! ARRGGHHHHH! ::: panting ::: Now see what you made me do? ---

Rysdad, good to see others who have stuck by them all these years. Every freakin year I think they’re going to do it, and they probably should have last year. They’re due, damn it! They’re 3-0 and going all the way. That, and they’re going to destroy the Cowboys on Nov. 26th. 😃 Pretty sure that’s the right date, but I’ll have to check. ---

Miller compared Deion to Stephen Hawking and Peterseim explains the reference this way: > [@](#): > > If the aging Sanders begins to suck enough (_a la_ a black hole, Hawking’s area of expertise) everything in existence eventually will collapse into him, creating a single, unimaginable dense pointfrom which will explode the new Deion-verse, where everyone will get paid an infinite amount of money to endorse sneakers. Preceding articles explaining Miller’s comments on previous MNF telecasts have been archived.
