Lol....Ya it's a good watch. I just finished watching one on the 75 Steelers and Cowboys and it was pretty cool. And not just because the Cowboys lost either, even though that didn't hurt. Lynn Swann and Jack Lambert were monsters.

This was the first time I've caught the Skins as the focus on 'America's Game'. Really good stuff.
I never knew the trouble Jeff Bostic was in that season. Though on a VHS tape I caught sight of him making a tackle on a special teams play during the Super Bowl. That pretty much sums up his status in '87. The replacement Skins' victory over the veteran Cowboy team at Texas Stadium is a game that doesn't get the recognition it should. |

I do believe they made a movie about that victory staring Keanue Reeves (sp?) called The Replacements. That is definately some recognition.

I thought it was interesting to see that not everything was smooth sailing back in the day. Even in the glory days there were bumps in the road. Doug Williams sure didn't like Jay Schroeder, huh? I guess there wasn't much to like from what I've read. |

Dirtbag359 wants to know why Doug Williams talks in the third person?

I coached under a guy that coached Doug Williams, and he had a pretty funny story that may answer your question... He said Doug came out of the shower one time and his towel got caught on a laundry basket, pulling the towel to the floor....The whole coaching staff was standing right laughing at him until he turned around......... he said it looked like a telephone hanging down...he said it was the enormous !!!!!!!! so there you have it. |
