Fun Facts ... part 2 Every time Washington wins the division in the year following a New York Giants Super Bowl victory, Washington wins that year's Super Bowl.

I don't know if this deserves it's own thread, but this "thot" did pop into my head a few minutes ago. Herb Brook's "Miracle" speech as portrayed by Kurt Russell, but with a Redskins twist. "Great moments are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em 105 times, they might win 62. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we score on them. Tonight, we defend against them. And we shut them down because we can! Tonight, we are the greatest football team in the NFC East. You were born to be football players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a talented football team the Cowboys are. SCREW 'EM! This is your time. Now go out there and take it!"

Papa John: "One million free Papa John's pizzas." Eli: "Good Idea. Pizza for one million dollars. I like it."

"Mom?" "Who's Mom? I'm the Giants' quarterback."

Last time I checked the game will be aired live on the NFL Network, 4pm.

Just checked the Account Manager. Moved one section closer to the 50 and one row down. Still endzone seating, but moving in the right direction. If I could pick any seats I'd prefer to sit in the first row in either section 401 or 454, midfield overlooking the 50. I'd prefer the view from above in the 400's. Also, someone needs to update the views on the stadium seating guide. The photos are at least three years old. Still has seats above the old video screens, which were the first to be removed in this recent renovation.

(Larger image from the Redskins website) Judging from this photo it looks like they removed more seats from the upper level. Those sections under the lights (top right corner of image) were a full 29 rows last season. When the stadium was constructed the upper level seating went up to the "ring" of steel beams. In this photo, sections with only seating seem like they're only half of what they use to be last year.

I said it years ago that they'd go back to being more kid-friendly. Pro wrestling has always been cyclical, in general, but this is part of the McMahon strategy that put the WWF/WWE on the map. In the 1980's, Vince McMahon tailored the WWF to rope in the children of the babyboomers. And as that audience grew up so did the themes/storylines. Now we have the children of those children watching television and Vince is trying to attract them to his product. It's funny how that article mentioned Triple H's kids. When I'd discuss this "theory" in the past I'd say that when Shane's and Steph's kids are at that age that we Gen X-ers were when we started watching the programs, that's when the WWE would go back to the kid-friendly themes. And while I'm here, if you follow NXT, here's my shameless plug for Johnny Curtis. He's one of the two finalists for NXT season 4. Johnny's a friend of mine who started pro wrestling up here in New England about 10 years ago. He wrestled for my promotion as well as a number of other indys in this area before getting his developmental deal and moving south. You can vote for him on the NXT page at nxt.wwe.com.
