Another good piece of news is that Anthony Gonzalez has a chance at playing this week after being hurt in week 1. It will give the offense some chemistry before going into the playoffs.
Yeah I just read that. It would have been nice to have him in the playoffs but now he has plenty of time to recover for next season (along with Bob Sanders, Marlin Jackson and Adam Vinatieri).
It is the 37th Anniversary of the Immaculate Reception. Can anybody here remember where they were when this happened? I can't, because I was only 7 weeks old.
I was 10 times your age then!
The thing about this play that I find interesting is how Harris has managed to keep the mystique alive by never answering when asked if he caught the ball cleanly. Watching the film, I think there's very little doubt that he did. Too much fluidity in the motion of his run for me to believe that there's more than a tiny chance that it wasn't a clean catch.
The play that started the Steelers dynasty.

38th Anniversary of the "Longest day" when the 71 Dolphins beat the Chiefs 27-24 in a game that lasted over 82 minutes. Ed Podolak of the Chiefs set a record for most All Purpose yards in a game with 350 and the game ended when Garo Yepremian kicked a 37 yard field goal. Last ever game at KC Municipal Stadium, and the Dolphins went on to lose the Superbowl to Dallas but went on to go undefeated the next season.
The NFL has played a few in the last decade here, todays is the first since 2006. Good chance we'll have Christmas day games each of the next 2 seasons. Next year on Saturday probably a feature game, and than the following year they'll likely have the regular Sunday games on Saturday, and a feature game on Sunday. 2012 is a leap year so Christmas will be on Tuesday, and I don't think they'll do a Christmas Eve Monday night game.

That was a lot of domination by the Chargers. They were pretty much doing whatever they felt like on offence against the Titans. If they meet Indy in the Championship game it should be one dandy of a game.
