Re: Tipped pass - "...A typical Cowboy play ..." . Well in making that claim, you must surely have a satellite dish just to pick up all Dallas games. If you hate The Cowboys so much then why do you watch them so much? However, since Dallas has been so successful over the past 20 years, viewing many Cowboy games is understandable since they are the most televised team in the NFL. Any logical person would know - as the # of exposures is increased, the frequency of a certain event also increases. Other teams have also had this type of "typical play" in their history. To name a few: - Green Bay's kicker scoring a game winning TD after his FG attempt was blocked right back at him v.s. Chicago. - Pittsburgh's immacculat reception. - Oakland's follies of fumbling into the endzone for TD's. - Baltimore's illegally tipped TD pass in their Super Bowl game v.s. Dallas. - not to mention a few choice "plays" for Denver in '84. 2. Re: pro-Dallas CBS announcers - John Madden and Pat Summerall must live with Redskin players, judging by their comments during games. 3. Re: Dallas v.s. San Diego-East game - "..that's the way Landry bribes refs ...". Yea, that's why two key 3rd down penalties were called on Dallas. And each revived drive resulted in 1st half TD's. - Roughing the Passer? COME ON, Marino gets roughed up more when he is SACKED by his fiancee'. Pass Interference? COME ON, the receiver wasn't touched at all. It even led Gifford (probably the most neutral announcer around) to say that the call basically stunk. It kinda reminds me of the P.I. call against Dallas in one of the Super Bowl games v.s. Pittsburgh. 4. Denver v.s. San Diego-East - Denver was blown away by Chicago, who, even at that time had a mediocre offense. Wait until Miami fires-up Marino, Duper and Clayton. AND with the windy conditions at the Orange Bowl, say a long prayer for Rich Karlis.
