The just-completed Chicago-Denver game, that is to see.

Wow. What a game! I'll bet no-one left early so as to beat the crowds this time.

You know what really struck me? I suppose those kickers kick so many thousands of times that they know intuitively as soon as the ball leaves their foot whether or not the kick was good. In any case, the Bears' kicker lifted his arm in a "#1!" motion immediately after kicking the ball, turned away so he couldn't even see the goal post, and accepted the congrats of his fellows. IOW, before the ball even cleared the goal post he knew it was good.

Amazing.

On to Thursday night, when the Cowboys are going to make the Packers look no-how. Count on it.

The Regulative Principle: Samuel Miller gives a succinct statement of this principle when he writes that since the Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference.”

Yeah, hopefully Dallas will take care of business and improve to 11-1, crazy thing is that if Dallas wins Thursday and New York loses next weekend Dallas wins their division with four games still to play!

That's the kind of "crazy" of which I'm all in favor.

You guys could just say that you think the thread is sinful.

Would the sabbatarians kindly refrain from posting in threads they have no interest in nor provocation to assert their assertions, I've seen a number of them hijacked over the past several weeks and find it quite disrespectful to board members who are not convinced of their positions, if you don't desire to watch football then don't, some of us are of clear conscience that Christ is our rest.

There was a delightful thread called "How bout them Cowboys" that has now been removed because some people took the time to accuse people of idolatry for watching football instead politely abstaining from posting or even reading the thread to begin with, I find that highly inappropriate and rude and wish to ask the parties responsible to exercise a more civil conduct of themselves in the future.

BTW, I was attending Southwestern Seminary when the then St. Louis Cardinals came to Dallas and beat the Cowboys 35-0 on Monday night football.

That was a sweet Tuesday on campus.

The only way they go to the Super Bowl is if they hurry up and get tickets.:

Yup, and on those tickets it will read: Packers vs. some lame team from the AFC.

Maybe if they purchase some from a novelty shop but the real ones will say Dallas Cowboys VS. New England Patriots.
Hugs n' kisses

I was at the 1996 NFC Championship game at Texas Stadium where Dallas pulverized the Packers into submission for the third year in a row.

Packer fans were crying as rabid Cowboy fans chanted Super Bowl and Brett Favre ended the game under a sea of sacks, four in a row.

It was good year as Dallas capped off their third championship in four years two weeks later.

No, that would be TWO lame teams.
