Re: Hi from a Newbe to this board

Hi Lefty and ty for the kind words.

I think my favorite was the 1993 World Series 2 on and 2 out in the bottom of the ninth when Joe Carter hit a shot down the third base line that just cleared the wall to give the series to Toronto for their 2ond straight title.

In football,it was last years super bowl.The defence came up huge and to see my beloved Colts win that was really special to me.

Everyone speaks about Marvin but I think Reggie Wayne is one of the special talents on this team.

That is an impressive sports resume. How do you make the time to watch every game like that. I wish I could.

BTW welcome to the club.

Re: Hi from a Newbe to this board

Answer to first question.I am retired and it is much easier to see every game now.

Answer to second question.A line judge is the guy in football ( I was in NFL) who lines up on the opposite side of the head linesman.
Job is to help make calls such as encroachment,offside,false starts,offensive linemen illegaly downfield on punts.
Make sure QB is not over line of scimmage before throwing a forward pass.
Supervising game clock and making sure of subs getting on and off the field on his side.

Re: Hi from a Newbe to this board

welcome to the forum diablo.
A line judge huh? So if we have any questions about the calls in a game, we know who to ask.
Unfortunately, I cant hope your Colts win the Super Bowl because as you can see I am a Cowboy fan.
I saw the Bowl last year and I thought it was a good one. The Colts really deserved it.
You mentioned Reggie Wayne but you didnt say anything about your quarterback.

Re: Hi from a Newbe to this board

Hi Bette.You have a good team yourself.The Dallas Cowboys are a very good team and Romo is another special talent.A green Bay/Dallas game would be very interesting indeed.
In my opinion it will come down to Dallas or GreenBay vs the Colts and i wish yor team luck,although not to much luck if they play the Colts.
