Mickey does.
After Christmas dinner with family at my Grandparents' home in Jersey City, watched an NFL "game for the ages", (or at least Mickey's 15 years on earth), a double OT playoff thriller - the longest game in NFL history, missed field goals by great kickers, But, most memorable was Ed Podolak's performance for the Chiefs (350 yards in total offense). Whatta game!

Yeah Gordon - I was a Chiefs fan then, but always liked the Shula-coached Dolphins teams too!

Could be this year - eat a lot of āTua-phishā sandwiches - theyāre not āGrieseā but they can provide you with enough āKiickā to make give āRun Ricky Runā the munchies!

Thanx Mickey...I was on duty too, with Marine Air Control Squadron 8, in ( lucky me, really ! ) Japan. No TV, no nothin' there, but much better than some of the alternatives. Did get a brown bag with a turkey sandwich and a drink of water outta the water buffalo. You could always count on the USMC not to waste the taxpayers dollars.
Saved the link you sent, will watch tomorrow night. Happy Holidays.
