85.0. "CROW CAFE' - Dining at its finest!!" by CST17::FARLEY (Have YOU seen Elvis today??) Fri Jan 25 1991 13:46

    ::SPORTS_BAR is incomplete without a cozy place to chow down
    
    so I figured the Crow Cafe' gotta open up.
    
    "Waiter, please reserve a table and a heaping helping of your finest
    bird for a_especial guest who will be arriving Monday.   Oh? His
    name?   Why that'll be 'unique glen j.', of course!

    	"Waiter, it seems that Mr. Farley has accurately predicted that 
    I would be showing up at this fine establishment today.  But Kevin
    was a *little* off on the meal plan.  Would you kindly send a nice,  
    steaming hot plate of crow to his table?  He should be kind of hungry
    by now."   :-)

 Tis a sad day indeed when the Celts loose the lakers and I can't even BLAM(tm)
 the refs. Lakers did a great job on the boards that's where they won it.
 Also Celts very lax on defense as Magic beat them about 6 or 7 times with
 a high post to the opposite baseline cutter. Divac actually played physical
 and Mychal had a career offensively and fustrated Mchale defensively. Shaw
 was fairly effective defensively early against Magic. If only Jimmy Clang
 had played and missed his usually 10 or 14 shots.... ;^)

    They I thought you were the kooky one for a while and wondered who
    wanted to divorce who. 
    
    Now, knowing what's going on now in public, I wonder what the hell she
    did in private.  I mean, it boggles the mind.  I'm sorry if I thought
    strange things about you.  Maybe this stuff all came up recently, but
    she is one warped woman and could see why you wouldn't want anything
    to do with her in the bedroom or anywhere else...

    was 3:22AM when I posted that. However, that is no excuse. So serve up

Worst part is Mike, that Elway didn't beat them.

Actually, I knew the Giants were not going to do well against a real
team.  Everyone got all excited about the Giants having won three in
a row.  Well, they beat Seattle, barely beat Green Bay, and beat up
on Washington.  Didn't get me excited. Nope....

Everybody keeps holding up the Skins as if they are some real team.

Their offensive line has been decimated by injuries.  Rypien is as
out of sync as a V-6 running on four cylinders, and clearly their defense
is suspect.   

I'll give the Giants this:  it was probably their best victory of the year.


But for their other 5 victories, they were really nothing special.  The
Green Bay game could easily have gone the other way also.

actually Saw, the fact that BBJ had little to do with the victory takes some
of the sting out it. If he had pulled the game out his butt with a last second
td I'd have probably had to go RON....

    Well, I think Washington is at least as much a "real team" as Denver. 
    At least they've scored a few more points than they've given up this
    season, which is something the 7-3 Broncos haven't done...

Yes, but they have been playing horribly.  Their line, usually one of the
finest in the NFL, is patchwork at best, and they are wicked out of sync.

To me, it seems that Denver is building forward (especially their line,
which played really well) and Washington is still floundering around,
a highly unusual state for a Joe Gibbs coached team...

     Mikey...  Nice to see ya today.  I took a little tumble
    on Saturday while cutting some trees (About 30 feet with 
    a running chain saw) and was out Monday doing the recoupe
    thing.  You p-name is nice although I believe that "Hero"
    and "Mentor" should be in Caps as stipulated in my original
    note.  ;^)
    
     No CROW for me this week...  I was perfect.  
    
    
     The Donks seem to be moving in the right direction, (as `Saw pointed
    out) the line is playing well and the running game seems to be comming
    around a bit.  Elway all but put the Midgets away in the first half.
    If the fact the Maddox came in a mopped up make you feel better,
    Childs, so be it.  Speaking of Maddox...  He played well, much better
    than I expected.  When John went I could only think how bad it was
    going to be wearing the P-anme Mikey had picked for me.  Great
    defensive play by the donks as well.

    I'm mighty disappointed in you folks. Maybe my assumption that ::SPORTS
    folks were basically honest was misplaced. I certainly expected a
    number of diners at the Crow Cafe after the incredible displays of
    football by the Raiders, Broncos, Browns, and Steelers this past
    weekend. Seldom do I remember so many predictions that fell flat on
    their faces in one week.
    
    Sigh, I guess 'ya can't trust anyone anymore :-(

    that is a very good start. I hope others emulate the fine example.

	Save me a table here.  I've picked the Steelers to represent
	the AFC in the Supa Bowl, but with Bubby runnin' the show,

    I made no predictions, as I now WON'T with Brister running the team.
    
    he could f___ the team up and cause them to lose no matter what the
    circumstances.

    And how about those folks who predicted that Christain Laettner was the
    second coming of Danny Ferry?

    Danny Ferry had 11 points and 5 rebounds last night...
