  4. Whoa, how much did you bet? it was a giant 900 box pool that pays out every score and typically has about that much left for final score

  10. It's says right here - We are unable to send this DVD to you at this time You've got to be on the DVD site for searching because they are still there. What site? I'm just reading the reply they sent me in reply to the mailed request.

  13. I haven't watched many of these since the original batch, but have they done any that were critical of an NFL team? That's not really their business model.
  14. Yeah, it wasn't bad, but it could have been a LOT better. I would have preferred something a little less fanboy-ish; I don't know if more critical is the right term, but something that really did try to figure out why a team that great didn't go on to more. This seemed to have a similar tone to the one about the Bills, which I thought was really well done, but this isn't a team that needs praising or vindication. This basically needed the opposite: OK, you guys are great at talking up how great you are, but what happened? If it really was simply Ryan leaving, then this could have just been one of the shorts, if bothering to make it at all. could it have used a little 30 for 30 The U type treatment?
  15. Tough comparison. It's not like they go to 7-on-7 for college OT. But there is no good solution to football OT hockey is regularly played with fewer than 5 on 5, whereas football is always played 11 on 11, so this still counts as "real hockey".
  16. I thought it was one of the weaker type 30 for 30's, mainly because they let the players basically take over it, but they don't have much of anything to say. They think they're a bunch of scary, insane guys with CA-RAZY stories who are actually just really, really boring. It touched on a lot of interesting things (how dominating the defense was, the mix of personalities, basically ushering in modern day media endorsements, the after effects of football), but it was on the level of the 30 for 30's that were basically made by the major sports organizations in that it was too focused on making it a love letter to the subject. The second half was better, if not depressing as hell. Seeing the different reactions to Payton's frustration over not scoring in the SB was interesting (but then when they have an opportunity to do something similar with Ditka going media crazy when he told everyone else not to and how it pissed a lot of them off, that's only briefly touched on and mostly played for a joke), as was McMahon dealing with his injuries. As usual Sammy, you're talking out of both sides of your mouth. Or maybe another orifice. You thought it was 'weak' and then cite points you thought were interesting. And you must have stayed with it for the whole two hours because you could easily switched channels. I thought it captured the attitude of the team and how they were built. They didn't gloss over the Ditka/Ryan relationship. If it was a Bears mgmt. production, you would not have heard about McCaskey criticism. Even though it happened 30 years ago, there has not been a team that reached such national attention since, even though teams have had more sustained success. For the record, I think you can find points of anything interesting while finding the entire production as a whole, weak.
  17. I was at peak obsess over your sports team age and have it stay with you forever for that team and while I enjoyed it, I have found the legacy of that group incredibly obnoxious. Drew Magary ranked the Bears far too low. http://deadspin.com/which-nfl-team-has-the-worst-alumni-1757068975
  18. Agree 100%. Sad to see Buddy Ryan in a wheelchair and suffering. But always good to see Otis Wilson highlights. CSN did an hour program on the 46 Defense and it also was good. Danny White of the Cowboys said that Otis' hits caused White to have two spinal fusions because of his hits. One quick Buddy Ryan story. The Bears were losing at halftime and Buddy goes over to Wilbur Marshall in the locker room and says: "Why don't you take a shower and sit up there with the rest of the cheerleaders." Marshall was pissed and went out in the second half and destroyed the other team. Funny that some people wallow in a '69 team that never won anything and downplay an '85 World Champion. Odd. who? Yeah, I mean there are losers that obsess over the '69 team but I'm fairly certain any of them that care at all about the Bears also obsess over that team. There isn't much crossover of Cubs/Bears fans that wallow over '69 and ignore '85.
  19. Why does he want to get rid of the tailgating? That seems like a really weird reason to refuse to work with the city to get a brand new stadium. Owners do not like people bringing their own costco purchased beer and hot dogs and grilling them in the parking lot. They prefer people come into the stadium and buy $12 beers and $8 hot dogs from them.
  20. that is hard to believe http://affotd.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/harry-caray.png

  23. Criticizing his comment about al jazera America is a ridiculous attempt to pile on to this story.
