Hilarious wedding account. I've been trying to put something like that together for a while, but, boy, this married life takes your time away. Right now, we are in Memphis with my family. I forgot about yesterday's games, so I guess I got the home teams which gives me a whopping 1-2 to start. Oh well, we'll see if we can get it back today. Merry Christmas!

Hi to all in Big D. Glad you have the Redskins there: you can keep them. Have two football teams - we don't want them here any more.

Name: Roy Bunting
Kenny D came up with Tommy Nobis a couple of weeks ago, and I'm probably way off base, but still think he may have been a Falcon. I also vaguely remember a guy on the defensive line whose name started with an "A" and that's about it. So I have to say, "Uncle" on this one. I do remember Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez burned down ex-boyfriend Andre "Bad Moon" Rison's house when he was with Atlanta. That and Zeke Bratkowski.

Regarding last week's former player question, I did figure it to be a kicker and/or QB and I knew Spurrier was with SF, so with a little more concentration I may have had it. (Note: If this looks like pathetic self-justification, it is.)

I picked lots of underdogs this week! Keeping those fingers crossed.

Name: Aimee Mann

Time: 11:03:15 AM
So where's this week's question? I, for one was interested to see if you would pick a Baltimore Colt or a Cleveland Brown. But if you think about it, using neither is correct as the Colts now live in Indy and Cleveland retained the Browns franchise. Nice purity, AC.

I hope you are all well. I asked Santa to help me win the football pool. It could happen! At least he could help me swing one quarter victory. My picking has been slipping since my daughters were born. I suppose my focus has changed. Well, at least I have most of my Xmas shopping done. I found something cool for the commish. shhhhh!

Excellent to see the old Redskins' helmets. Now I remember Charley Taylor.

Seattle is much easier as #10 was Jimmy Zorn and, naturally, #80 was Congressman Steve Largent. Truth be known, I was hoping for a little Efren.

Thanks for all the postcards and letters. See you next week. Good Luck -- The Commish

Time: 1:25:53 PM
Ah, the Redskins...#41 was none other than DB Mike Bass who intercepted and returned the lamest pass ever attempted (by Garo Yapremian in Super Bowl VI)... Washington #42 was at one time Paul Warfield who ended up on the Seascum, but you are not looking for that here as Warfield was the Miami answer a couple of weeks ago. Otherwise, I dunno... and #43 was an indestructible RB, I think his name was Larry Brown. For extra credit, wasn't John "Mohawk" Riggins, who, at a state dinner, once told Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Conner, "Loosen up, Sandy Baby" a Redskins #44? That completes the small straight.

Denver #77 was a really good guy on defense. Wasn't Karl Mecklenberg #77 later on? I'll kick myself when I hear this one. Boston Patriots #18 is Jim Plunket's favorite target Randy Vataha. Chicago #10 I'm thinking Bobby Douglass, but for some reason he seems to be #2.

First, 52 of 53 FBH'ers made picks last week -- only Audrey who was in Amish country without any technology at her disposal was malingering. Keep up the good effort, kids!

Second, Pete "Howfield was better" Gogolak was Giants #3, John "Need to buy a vowel" Hadl was SD #21, and John Brockington was GB #42 (For extra credit was backfield mate MacArthur Lane #31?).

Of course #3 Mets was Bud Harrelson (Rafael Santana in later years) and #21 was Cleon Jones. I listed the 42s last week but forgot Jackie Robinson, only the 3rd "Met" to have his number retired.

Here's wishing Mookie takes over as manager and the Mets sweep! Or Mazilli turns double agent and passes the signs back to his real team. Or Torre has a flashback to the late '70's and starts 59-year old Micky Lolich in game 3 at Shea. Let's go Mets!!!

I'll make my picks later, but Lions - Altie Taylor. Dolphins - Paul Warfield. Bucs - Ricky Bell

Name: Roy Bunting
Date: 10/14/00
Time: 8:48:40 AM
I see we have a little theme going here. Largely guessing this week.

Lions #42 -- The only old Lions I know are Bobby Layne (#22), Billy Sims (#20), and Charlie Sanders (#88). Scum #42 -- Dick. Bucs #42 -- Non-player stamp question, so it's not official, but I say Ricky Bell. Mets #42 -- RHP Ron Taylor, C Ron Hodges, RHP Roger McDowell.

By the way, the fearsome foursome were Merlin Olsen, Bubba Smith, Deacon Jones and Jack Youngblood(?). I seem to have a vague notion that Youngblood played with them later or was a LB. Either way, he is not to be confused with Mets OF Joel "I was once the best guy on a really bad Mets team until I blew out my leg" Youngblood.

Of course, when considering famous defensive front fours of the '70's, "The Steel Curtain" comes to mind...but that's just too easy. Or is it?

Bob Lilly, best defensive tackle to ever play the game. Roman Gabriel Len Dawson

Name: Roy Bunting
Date: 10/7/00
Time: 1:42:51 PM
First of all, I would have gotten George Nock.
I finally got you this week. Bob Lilly (who has the distinction of being the only NFL'er to have the first name of both the Best Man and Maid of Honor at our wedding) was Dallas #74. Roman "Was it 6 fumbles in a game?" Gabriel was LA #18 (what, no Merlin Olsen?). And while it might be natural to have a knee-jerk reaction and blurt out that KC's #14 was Len "I can't believe they hired 'that prick' to be on my TV show" Dawson, Lenny actually wore #16 while the tough-as-nails Ed Podolack was #14, quite unusual for a running back. Hee hee, I'm so clever! Hope I do as well on my picks!

(1) I don't like nickname "America's Team" unless you remember the context of all the screw-ups, self-serving attitudes, controlling men in charge, and drug addicts the Cowboys have exhibited in the past.

NO #8 is Archie (I was expecting CB D'Artagnan Martin) Oak #31 is Jack "The Assassin" Tatum (Can't get away from the Immaculate Reception) The suspense was killing me over Jets #43 so I looked and sadly, I was incorrect. (Not an easy one I might add.) I did remember other Jet DBs from that era were WK Hicks (#33), Phil Wise (#27), Uncle Rich's least favorite Jet Steve Tannen (#21), and the "real" #19, Chris Farasopolous. (Also from the same era GiantBoy Carl "Spider" Lockhart was also #43?) In later years wasn't Roger Vick #43?

Holy smokes!  I don't read the comments for a season and look what happens!?!? Paul K getting MARRIED?  I thought it would never happen! Now who's going to be your stereotypical slick rich bachelor tech guy?  And the international intrigue of it all - getting married in Jakarta. I never know where Paul is, but I know it's always somewhere cool. Congratulations from the Buntings. Two tips: (no not THAT one!) be nice and have fun. (looking forward to some pictures) 

Speaking of weddings - HI ELLEN!

And Patty...let's just speak of Laura as being 6 or 7 years old. To admit she's a teen makes us all old. We can't be old yet, can we??? Damn, we'll have to start acting like grown-ups.

FBH - The only news organization to bring you the truth about the demon Keyshawn and his one-woman crusade against Sherbet. By the way, what is the truth? Why the H*LL am I reading a ton of articles about this "match-up" (they're not even on the field at the same time, so I like the use of the word match-up)?

I think FBH should do some cover stories on NFL owners - best, worst, most-influential, hottest wife, hottest girlfriend, hottest wife and girlfriend. Just a thought.

Dear All, I just received my trophy for 1987, I haven't won since then, so I hope you fellows get your winnings a little quicker than I got my trophy. Let me see, the Eagles lambasted the Cowboys and then the Giants beat the Eagles, so the line against the Giants vs Cowboys should be in the triple digits, if so, take the Cowboys and cross your fingers.

What the hell was Pete Knapp talking about? FBH SciFi? I thought Bjorn Borg retired. Pete must have spent too much time in the hot Texas sun, along with the Cowboys bench. Oh and another thing. Those going with me to the Jets game tomorrow night must be relieved that for once the Jets will not be playing their home opener during the US Open Men's final. They all know how I feel when I see fans at the game watching Tennis on their portable TV's instead of my Jets!!

These picks override the last ones. Only changes are I am now taking Cincy and SD. Advise to everyone who also took those teams: change your picks immediately. My historic record after changing my picks is well below the Mendoza line.

No clue on the Steeler -- Franco Harris? Laura, Sara and I send our deep condolences on the passings of Little Boy, Mookie and Jackie. They have joined Mighty Chester in that pet heaven hall of fame. Kelly is still among us -- going on year 17! Tough week last week, but my head was not into it yet. Love to all Patty

I reversed my picks on the Jets and Giants for some unknown reason. Still can't pick the C-Boys because I just hate them.

Today begins my defense of THE DANE !!!!!!!

Since the DANE is an award that will travel each year from "winner" to winner, I'll make sure I take it to a Jet game and have a photo taken with it. That way, an archive of "great" DANE photos can be kept by the FBH staff, much like another prized sports trophy, THE STANLEY CUP. Which, by the way Roy, IS ALSO RESIDING IN NEW JERSEY THIS YEAR!

 Ha, Guys Mark from NJ. good to be making picks again. My girls are already turning into teenagers. they think that this hole football on line thing is silly. Just like a girl to us the word silly. Bare with me I'm Having difficulty this days with my girls being on sports teams. With a boy you tell him to suck it in and play. with a girl after wiping away the tears you Then you have to explain yourself. I love them all the same. See ya

Greetings to all -- looking forward to another fun-filled season. Guest selectors for me will include my very football-savvy 8-year old (and a HUGE Packer fan)as well as a mildly interested 12-year-old junior high student. Criteria for them will include "Who would N'Sync pick?" Very scientific, indeed. Momma, don't let your babies grow up to be teenagers!

Hope all is well with all my compatriots -- doesn't seem that long ago we were sitting around the kitchen table doing this.

Love to all, Patty
