For four years in a row I was your proverbial nun. That was okay when it was time to get a picture with the one gal who was all decked out as a dominatrix or red hot nurse. It does amaze me some of the ideas people get for dressing up for the ghoulish day. One of the funniest costumes I ever recall seeing was a gal who made a makeshift kitchen sink all around her, complete with running water. I still don't know how she did it.
You might recall that Bill Parcells has had good success against John Fox in the regular season. When these two teams met in Week 8 in 2003, Quincy and company led them to a 24-20 win and a 7-1 start.
Things got a little testy after Ed Ott got into a brawl with Lee Kostopoulos, breaking an ankle when he fell. Ott now out for two months. Not ten seconds later Matthew Barnaby put down his gloves and started duking in response to his fallen teammate. Stu Barnes would put the Stars ahead 2-1 with 45 seconds left in the second frame.
Tiger fans can take solace in the fact that the nucleus of talent will remain in place until 2009. Jim Leyland is the manager of the year. The Tigers and their fans can now take a bow and look back at how well they did in 2006.
This decade alone we have said goodbye to 216 years of empty. The Cubs alone will void 99 years if they get there in 2007. The last team they won against in 1908? The Tigers, the very same team they would lose to in 1945 and the same team they should have faced in 1984 if it weren't for Steve Garvey and a sleepless Rick Sutcliffe. I remember it well...
