As a child, I would be playing in my bedroom, and would hear my parents calling me, saying to come see them and hurry! They had an 'excitement' in their voices that made it sound like I was going to get a prize of some kind.
So, I would come on the run, arrive at the room giddy with anticipation, only to hear..."Turn the channel for us, will you?"

At least you didn't have to climb on the roof to turn the antenna.

Sadly, japf's parents didn't even have an antenna....he never caught on to the ruse.

I did that two weeks ago, promise.  Long time since cutting the cord.

Who the freak do we hope to win this game?

6 of one, half-dozen of the other.
My original thought was to pull for the Panthers, because Philly is undefeated in the conference. But thinking a bit further, do we want Philly to build an insurmountable lead in the NFCE?
Brak had a good point about playing the Panthers later this year, too. A win tonite wouldn't be a particular problem for us if we beat 'em that game.

It wasn't all bad.  My dad taught me how to swim.  Every day he'd take me out to the middle of the lake and throw me in so I could swim back to shore.  The swimming was the easy part, the hard part was getting out of the gunney sack with rocks in it.

True Story...circa 1995 I'm at home listening to the Brewers on WEVR out of River Falls...the local announcer says he has Brewer tickets for the 15th caller.  I called and the guy says you're "number 1".  I called again and he said you're number 2".  I called and he said "number 3....12 calls later and I had tickets to a pair of games a couple of weeks later.



I don't know if that speaks more to the popularity of the Brewers at the time or the listenership of WEVR
