Russ Grimm On Canton, Hot Dogs, and The Hogs

So were there a lot of Skins fans in Canton? I didn't bother watching any of the coverage. It's not a great TV event, it's all about the experience of being there. I remember Skins fans just took over Canton 2 years ago, it was insane.

Wow, what a moving speech by Grimm and Buges. I still can't believe I lived during that era (as if we're talking about the Great Depression or something!) and was at that Cowboys championship game. Seems so surreal now.

But as far as the Raiders game, I was just stunned that we lost that Super Bowl. The Jack Squirek interception and Marcus Allen's 74 yd TD run stick out in my mind until this day. What really hurt about that game was I felt we were the more talented team and we beat those chumps earlier that season!

Bottom line, I think the Skins were believing their own press, got full of themselves for one game, and got the snot knocked out of them.

The Raiders were a very good team that year. I think we often overlook that. Yeah, the Skins should have won that game. But the Raiders weren't pushovers either.

The Redskins were lucky to beat the Raiders in the regular season that year. Joe Washington saved our ass that game. That was the best game of that memorable season. The SB loss was due to an above average night of drinking by the Redskins the evening before the game.

Congratulations to Russ Grimm. Great football player way overdue. Just like Art Monk.

Clark , Jacoby, Lachey and Mann need to get in now.

Hail to the Redskins!

From the TV coverage I would say there was a fair amount of our fans. Most of the fans that were there were Cowboys and 9ers fans.

I didn't hear it, didn't hear any of them actually. But I did hear people complaining that he didn't think many, if any, of his Saints' teammates. Namely, the other linebackers
I caught the end of Jackson's speech, and could have sworn he mentioned Sam Mills, but I can't be 100% positive.

Riggins No-showed at Canton for the Hogs reunion???
And Mark May....allegedly
Hmmmm...............

Some of my former colleagues, DC media folk, have told me stories of how the night before Super Bowl XXII, as a bit of revenge for what happened in Tampa, they bought Broncos players shot after shot, drink after drink posing as Broncos' fans; getting them hammered and wasted just hours before kick-off.

Smoot I am a little confused by your post. Was it Skins players who bought the drinks?
