Mr. no funny nickname Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 1995 AFC Divisional Round GameIndianapolis vs. Kansas CityLin Elliot misses a 42-yard field goal with 37 seconds left that would have tied the game. But that whole game was depressing. 4 turnovers. Worse was that the Chiefs had the best record that year.2003 AFC Divisional Round GameIndianapolis vs. Kansas City (again)Watching that defense made me cringe the whole game.

Original6 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 BTW, to the Canada invented baseball claim, no we didn't event the way it is currently played. That was invented in Cooperstown, N.Y. The game of "baseball" that is known to be played before the first game at cooperstown involved four bases and a regular stick. Now basketball, and football we know where their origins come into. Hockey is still unknown... the mystery sport. There are theories that english men invented it during their tenure in canada, there are stories it was invented in quebec, and there is a story about a game being played between windsor and detroit. No one knows for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one knows for sure... Abner Doubleday did not invent baseball in 1839 in Cooperstown. Facts are he was not in Cooperstown that summer, he was in West Point, he never claimed to have invented the game and he never attended a professional game.Now if you had read my post:Baseball was not invented. It evolved from rounders and cricket. The earliest known reference was in a British publication in the 1740s. Hell, I remember reading a piece that claims baseball could go back to the 1400s in Spain. The earliest known American reference is 1791 where the town of Pittsfield, Massachusetts outlawed playing baseball within 80 yards of a new town center.This game had a flurry of names from baseball to town ball to cat and dog. The rules were very vague and was very very different from the game we play today.The Abner Doubleday story has as many holes as Swiss cheese. He never claimed to have invented the game. He was given the title of inventor of baseball by Spalding (the man) and a commission that turned up nothing when they tried to find the exact start point of the game. Doubleday wasn't even IN Cooperstown in 1839 when he supposedly invented the game.The first baseball game played under the same basic rules we still use today was in 1845. Alexander Cartwright (also the inventor of the modern boxscore and many of the stats we use today like batting average) wrote the rules and his Knickerbocker club lost to a team from New York.If you were to give the title of inventor to ANYONE it would be to Cartwright. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Did you read the link Chris? Though SIHR (which I hold in much higher regard than the average Internet Forum user) makes no claim on the exact location and time of hockey's birth, a sizeable percentage of its membership believe that Hockey's roots is in the Netherlands from the 1600s, or even Scotland in the late 1500s, Despite their disagreement on where it was invented, SIHR does agree with the sentiment that the Windsor claim holds no water.

Canada invented hockey as much as the US invented baseball. Both evolved from earlier simular, but different, European sports. Baseball as we know it today is an American invention, and hockey as we know it today is a Canadian invention.

BlueSky Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I'm a Saints fan...where do I start?Actually, these memories stand out most. Jan. 6, 1991 , the NFC Wild-Card - My Saints lost to Chicago 16-6, but the key to the game was a blown call. As reported by chicagosports.com:"Leading 10-3 early in the third quarter after Morten Andersen drilled a 47-yard field goal late in the second quarter, the Bears sent Butler in to attempt a 45-yarder with a 14-m.p.h. wind at his back. The kick was blocked by Reggie Turnbull and returned 61 yards by rookie cornerback Vince Buck for an apparent tying touchdown.But Saints cornerback Robert Massey was detected lining up offside.The Bears had new life and wound up with a 22-yard Butler field goal for a 13-3 lead with 6:29 left in the third period."The game announcers kept showing the play, freeze-framing it at different poiints before the snap, and talking about how no one was lined up off-sides and nobody jumped (which was obvious from the video). The Saints got screwed, plain and simple. With that TD, it would have been a 10-10 tie instead of 13-3 Bears and the Saints would have had the momentum. Not that I'm still bitter 15 years later... The other was the last game of the 1983 season. It was simple - beat the Rams and home and have the first winning season and first playoff trip in the Saints' history, or lose and go 8-8. The Saints were ahead 24-23 and the drought was over, we would finally have a winning team and go to the playoffs! Then the (*%*$(# Rams drove down and kicked a field goal with a few seconds left to win 26-24. I was at the Superdome for that game, and remember that most of the crowd just stood there, stunned, for about 30 minutes after the game ended. No kidding, it was really that long. We were just drained. It really sucked.And oh yeah, that 49ers' playoff win over Green Bay when T.O. caught the winning score and bawled on the sideline. Remember that Jerry Rice fumbled a few plays before but the refs inexplicably called him down or some such BS. No replay back then so Green Bay went home and T.O. became famous because some zebra blew a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
