what's so great about a team blowing out one of their struggling non-rivals?
one of the better qb performances as of late on mnf, but not a great game by any means.

Vick was unbelievable, very entertaining to watch.

Oh, and Steelers ftw.

87pts
35-0 in 1st 1/4
628 passing yds

Sure the Redskins aren't great but they were 3-3 going into the game and they beat the Eagles in Philly earlier this season.
Add to the mix the Vick/McNabb relationship, the McNabb Eagles connection, McNabb being pulled from the 2 minute in the last game then being handed a new contract, Vick's career comeback, the tussle at the start pre game.

Laughing out loud It had everything you could ask for (other than decent defense, by both teams)

That's this weekend isn't it? Cue 4 INT for Favre (just checked 10TDs to 16INT this season Laughing out loud ), should've retired after he left Green Bay Sad
Packers will destroy them. Colts Vs Patriots this weekend too.

yeah this sunday. the sourness from me is a result of how poor the vikings are doing this season. normally it's no big deal, but after coming so close to the super bowl last year and with almost everyone returning, the expectations were a fair bit higher than 3-6.

I watched NFL:America's Game a while back a few months back which I really enjoyed and was telling my brother about it but I cant remember what team/year it was.

It was a really old school one and the bit I remember is a player being nicknamed "diesel" and one of the talking heads telling us how a fan had sneaked a locamotive horn into the stadium and it was an incredible atmosphere.

Ive tried doing a search and looking on Wiki but can figure out which one it is.

Any ideas?

I thought it was older than that but I might be wrong. I think they are up to the late 70's on Sky Sports at the moment so I will watch out for that one.

Cheers

I haven't seen them for a while but normally they don't run in any sort of order.

They are on Saturdays at the moment and seem to be showing them in order. The last 3 or 4 have been anyway. Not always on at the same time like, but they shoe horn them in at some point.

Looking forward to tonight - more so this year because I've met BJ Raji (neighbour of my ex in NJ, USA) a fair few times and the guy is hilarious/a beast. Witnessing him running down the suburban road pulling tires was Laughing out loud
