Playoff wrap-up

Do you think it was any coincidence that the only divisional playoff game worth watching was the only one played outdoors? The Vikes-Cowboys in the Metrodome certainly didn't have the same romance to it as the old games played outdoors at the Met. I wanted to hear Pat Summeral describe D.D. Lewis wrapping up Chuck Foreman as he went off tackle one more time...

"Tarkenton scrambles left, ducks Jack Youngblood, and throws to Gene Washington for a TD!"

From Wikipedia: Bud Grant attended the University of Minnesota and was a three sport athlete in football, basketball, and baseball.

Following college, he had a professional playing career for the Minneapolis Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA), Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL, and Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL.

What a stud. The Bills should have tapped Bud Grant as their new head coach. He would love the weather in Buffalo.

That's funny. I looked up Bud Grant's Wikipedia entry myself today. You're right, he's a living legend...
