Was it there that What's-his-face hit the homer off What's-his-face to win the WS? That ball seemed to fly pretty good.

Yep....lol. I do remember Jose Canseco absolutely crushing one up there. Seems Cecil Fielder hit a few titanic shots there too.
(Maybe you're referring to Joe Carter?)

Yes. I remembered it was Carter but not the first name. Easy to see why I couldn't remember, Joe being such a difficult name and all.

Lots of love for the Bengals except this week might be tough to say that. Falcons have been our krypton ire and Houston has been yours. Hopefully we both can get past those guys and we play in the Super Bowl this year although it's not looking good for both of us so far. Looking forward to playing our buddies this week. See you Sunday at 4:25 in Lambeau.
cheers to that

I like you, PB, but I hope to God we go into Green Bay and whoop your ASS. I want a beatdown of epic proportions. I want us to win in such a fashion that it leaves EVERYONE speechless. When they show our highlights, there is no talking because it's so unbelievable. I want there to be a QB controversy afterwards because McCarron threw 8 TDs to Daltons 7 (who was pulled because the lead was so huge).
I know it ain't gonna happen, but it's what I want.

LOL....well, between the two of us, we could have figured it out. I just remembered Joe, so I had to google his last name.

F that Packer. Take no offense, but I hope its a shit show of epic proportions. I want to see a beat down so bad and so ugly one team doesn't even come back the same team.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

Whoever wins I just hope it is a great game that remains close to the end for Camcat to watch down from his heavenly home.
If somehow a heroic win happens for either team (because he loved them both) will credit him and know he was present.
Instead of winning one for the Gipper, how about win this one for Camcat !
Still almost brings a tear to my eye when reminded of him. Kid was a true fighter.
Who-Dey Cam !

Never could I possibly hate the Pack as much as the steelers. Not even the slimmest of chances.

Bullock's leg will literally fall off. Just like... pop and blood everywhere.
15 PATs, an unknown number of FGs, and at least 17 kickoffs and running down for coverage.

Indeed, my favourite player during childhood, Joe Carter (another fantastic human being). Hit it off of Mitch Williams, who was NEVER the same after that series.
Joe had great numbers, year in, year out, but was a bit overrated when you get down to it.
Canseco hit the 5th deck twice; once in the infamous '89 ALCS (which you're referring to) and once in '98, when he was with us.

Yep, that's the one! Didn't he have one bounce off his head for a HR there too?

If we somehow lose this week at least we will have lost to a classy team. I hope we can pull it out but I'm nervous actually.

In all of this, I too forgot to wish you the best of games on Sunday, PB!
But I hope we have another sitch like Johnathan Franklin in '13; would be a wonderful victory!

Fun fact about Aaron Rodgers:
He has beat every team in the NFL (besides his own) except one.
Guess who?
Hint: They wear stripes.
