Greazy's Take: On The Sideline

Well, I thought the Skins would lose, but not by that much! I'm going to be honest, I was less concerned with the game then I was with the experience of being on the sideline. This wasn't my first rodeo, I've been on the sideline of College Football games, in the Green Monster during a Sox game, and in the press box for an O's games. But, this had a totally different feel to it. Hell, it wasn't even the first time I'd been on the side line at Foxboro. But, this was regular season NFL football, and one of the best teams I've ever seen. The Pat's might be able to beet the whole NFC Probowl team.

Inky and I enjoyed our credentials very much. We took the time to hang out in the press box (and eat lunch next to Sonny Jurgensen) and we wondered the side line watching pregame warm ups. I quite enjoyed watching the Skins go through their drills, although it would turn out that the practice wasn't really necessary. The highlight for me was seeing the costumes the cheerleaders came up with to celebrate Halloween. Let me just say that the Pat's cheer team is far and away better looking then the Dallas Cowgirls, and hotter than you can believe when you are 10 feet from them.

In the end, my biggest problem was with some awful reporting by the walking butt (Pam Oliver pictured left). Mama Can was trying to stir up a story where there was none, and drew a member of my family into it to boot. She was trying to make the Redskins intermittent coach-to-QB communications issues a bigger deal then they really were. Just like the people who tried to stir up shit by saying that Gibbs didn't shake BB's hand after the game which was, of course bullshit.

Here are some more shots from our time on the sidelines: View from the press box during Pregame): For the ladies, Tom Brady: Inky (with Pam behind her): What's The Daniel Doing Here? (Damn There's Pam again. Maybe she should do more work so she can get her storys straight.)

The Cheerleaders looked great from any angle:

Inky and I almost got run over a few times:

I think the Skins knew in pregame that they would lose, I just don't think they thought it would be 52-7: When your team isn't loosing by 30+ it's actually a nice place:
