I even bought an plastic half moon shaped thing that has a lid and snaps shut. It's a microwave omlete tray. Drop 2 eggs and your fixings in it and out it comes perfectly shaped. It was $3 at the grocery store.]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:29:56 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2905347.html#Post2905347 http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2905207.html#Post2905207 Hankmc

The Skins - Dallas rivalry isn't what it used to be. Here are some quotes I pulled out of the thread over on the Skins message board. Some of these are great.

==========================================

"Nobody gave us a chance, but we thought we could win if we played our game..."

-George Allen, Oct 3, 1971, after winning at the Cotton Bowl for the first time since 1967. The Redskins beat the defending NFC Champions who had won 9 of their previous 10 games and had only lost one of their previous sixteen games at home going back three years. Washington improved to 3-0, making them the only unbeaten, untied team in the league, while simultaneously crushing the egos of the Dallas Cowboys. The Redskins were for real and a rivalry was born. Thousands upon thousands of fans jammed Dulles International Airport that evening to welcome their heroes home.



"Forty men together can't lose!"

- George Allen, December 31st, 1972, just before the NFC Championship coin flip.



We came to Washington thinking we'd just float by the Redskins, but they had something for us. They beat us soundly..."

- Mel Renfro, referring to the 1972 NFC Championship



"We were all on top of the world after that game."

- Ron McDole



"George Allen never used to say 'the Dallas Cowboys', it was always 'the goddamned Dallas Cowboys.' It's the Cowboys' uniform. It strikes hate and loathing in my mind, almost in a Pavlovian sense."

-John Wilbur



"Die you dogs. Die you Dallas dogs."

- Sam Wyche



"Roger Staubach can't read defenses and wears skirts..."

- Ron McDole to the press, when asked about what he thought of the Cowboys quarterback



"Any helicopter that came over (the practice field), the coaches would look up and say 'Damn, that's George Allen up there with a notebook.'"

-Walt Garrison



"If you knock Staubach out, you've got that rookie facing you. That's one of our goals."

- Diron Talbert (Staubach was knocked out in the 3rd quarter, Thanksgiving Day, 1974, with the Redskins leading 16-3 -- but the rookie, Clint Longley, came in to beat Washington, 24-23)



"Who in the hell is Longley???"

-Diron Talbert to the press after the game.



"When you sign with Washington, you sign a contract to hate the Cowboys."

-Charles Mann



"Losing to Dallas was the worst feeling in the world. You'd rather have your arm cut off."

-Diron Talbert



"Tom Landry, hahahaha. Tex Schram, hahhaha. Roger Staubach, hahahha."

-George Allen to a television camera, after beating Dallas in Texas Stadium in 1976.



"If you grow up in metro Washington, you grow up a diehard Redskins fan. But if you hate your parents, you grow up a Cowboys fan."

-Jim Lachey



"I picked him up and pushed him back... It wasn't a smooth play, it was a desperation play. It was such an eerie feeling when it happened. There wasn't any noise in the stadium for maybe three seconds. All of a sudden... the place went crazy. I had never seen anything like it."

-Ken Houston, on stopping Walt Garrison at the one yard line in the final seconds of the Monday night game in October, 1973



"If you came out of the (Dallas) game and you weren't bleeding, you hadn't played."

- Ken Houston



"We don't like them, they don't like us."

- Roger Staubach



"We loved to play them. It was always the perfect setting - Monday Night, Thanksgiving Day, a 4 o'clock start, RFK. Those kinds of games still give me goose bumps."

- Ken Houston



"Yeah, but only after he went for my knees three times."

-Jack Pardee, after being accused of trying to knee Dallas receiver Lance Alworth in the head.



"My front four will be faced with the task of beating the sweat-hogs. It's my belief that to be a defensive lineman, you have to have a personal hate for your opponent."

- Ernie Stautner, defensive coordinator, Dallas



Be sure... you learn how to get to the airport, will you?"

- Tom Landry, Head Coach, Dallas, to his players prior to the 1982 NFC Championship game



"Plain & Simple - WE HATE DALLAS"

- home made sign hung at RFK Stadium during the 1982 NFC Championship game.



"Joe Theismann is a garbage-mouth little SOB. He's such a hot dog that all he needs is a bun."

-John Dutton




"It was like walking into a dungeon of thieves..."

- Danny White, commenting on entering RFK Stadium.



"This is 'DD Day.' That is, 'Defeat Dallas Today!'"

-Jack Kent Cooke, Jan. 22, 1983, just prior to kickoff



"That's the loudest the stadium's ever been. You could hear it in the locker room. 'We want Dallas! We want Dallas!' Everybody was pretty pumped up."

-Russ Grimm



"The stadium was unbelievable. Those stands were moving three feet ... up and down..."

-Joe Gibbs



"I felt the ground shake beneath my feet - literally."

- Joe Theismann






"We're standing there for the national anthem. When it's over, Joe (Bugel) looks over to the other sideline at Ernie Stautner, who's the Cowboys defensive line coach. Joe yells over to him and flips him off."

-Joe Jacoby



"I got to the line, and I said to Randy White, 'Our coaches love you. We're going to run it over you again and again.' Randy wasn't very happy, but after three or four times, he didn't say a word."

-Jeff Bostic



"I wanted to just... put his lights out ....because, you know, ...Dallas sucks..."

- Dexter Manley, referring to Danny White whom he knocked out of the first half of the 1982 NFC Championship game.



"TOUCHDOWN, WASHINGTON REDSKINS! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!"

-Frank Herzog, live on WMAL radio, after Darryl Grant's 4th quarter interception return




"We can accomplish miracles. We're not real talented, we're not real bright, but dammit, we're the NFC Champions!"

-Joe Theismann, during the post-game locker room interview




"Never a 'Skins fan. ... But still, I remember as a kid watching this and always comparing it ever since as the wildest scene I've seen for a game ... because they truly hated each other. That entire city was out for Dallas' blood. They chanted it all day long... Best sports scene ever...hands down. And I'm a Dawg Pound guy. No way Dallas was leaving there alive. Washington wanted them that bad. I'll just never forget an entire stadium calling out an opponent like that, telling them they're going to kick their asses, AND THEN DOING IT. Awesome, awesome stuff. "

-Anonymous Cleveland Browns Fan referring to the 1982 NFC Championship game




"It was probably the next morning before I knew where I was,... I must have gotten knocked out. ... I never did regain any memory of that game. From the trip up there, first quarter, second quarter, third or fourth."

-Danny White



"When you're in a game like that and it's back and forth and back and forth, who's gonna blink? Who's gonna blink first? They blinked. ...It was the most incredible moment -- in my life."

-Joe Theismann, referring to winning the 1982 Championship game.



"The one game that really gave us confidence in the 1980s was that NFC Championship game against Dallas."

-Jeff Bostic



"They were so demoralized. They were so pissed. The officials had to drag them out of the locker room, they wouldn't come out."

-George Stark, referring to the final play of the game after players had prematurely retired to the locker room with 12 seconds on the clock. This was the 3rd NFC Championship in a row Dallas had lost.



"This is controlled delirium. This is a coagulation, a community of interest here that is astonishing in its depth. All over this city. The rich, the poor. The black, the white. The communists, the socialists. The affluent, the unpossessed. All are bound together in this city on this day by these Redskins."

-Jack Kent Cooke, moments after the NFC Championship win against Dallas in January, 1983.



"No, Danny! No!"

-Coach Tom Landry, in an uncharacteristically emotional moment, from the sidelines to his QB Danny White, during a 4th and inches play after it became clear the drawing the Redskins offsides ploy wouldn't work. The Cowboys win-loss record at the time was 12-2, and Dallas victories, both in the regular season and the post-season, were routine. White was supposed to call a timeout, but instead, he continued the snap count, and the ball was snapped. Cowboys lost yardage, the ball, and the game, December 11, 1983. The Cowboys went on to lose three in a row and were knocked out of the 1983 wild card round. That single moment seemed to mark the end of an era of Cowboys dominance in the league. They would not win a playoff game again until 1991.



"There are three great things in life: Winning the lottery, having a baby, and beating the Cowboys..."

- Mark May, after a 41-14 route of Dallas in 1986.



"...Mikhail Gorbachev is here. Its kind of slowing things down. I wish he’d get the hell out of town. The Redskins – Cowboys game is bigger than what’s happening at the summit."

- Dexter Manley, 1987



"You just despised that team. It was genuine... I despise them even more now, because they are so flamboyant.

- Joe Jacoby, 1996



"Because of my position, I'm not supposed to think that way. But in the back of my mind, in my heart, I never want to see them win. It's just inbred in my blood since I was a Redskin. I bleed burgundy and gold. I will always have that in my soul - to hate the silver and blue."

- Mark May, TV network analyst, 1996



"I know we don't have any Dallas people here — they are the ugliest people in the world."

- Joe Gibbs during Fan Day, Training camp, 2005.



"This is my moment, this is my chance to make a difference, and you know, I just went for the ball, I attacked it, and I went and got it, ... I was gonna catch that ball, regardless of what happens..."

- Santana Moss, referring to the first touchdown during the Monday Night Miracle vs Dallas in Sept, 2005.


"I remember uh,... Coach Byner coming to me, he say 'hey, we goin' back atcha, get ready...'. To me, that was all I wanted to hear, you know. 'We goin' back atcha...'"

- Santana Moss, referring to what was said on the sidelines after the first TD catch



"One on one, that's all I want. I knew right then and there, I had him. I just ran a straight, you know, bee line post, man, you know, and it was on the money."

-Santana Moss, referring to his second TD catch



"This ****'s for the TRIO!",

-Santana Moss, to a video camera immediately after catching his 2nd TD pass at Texas Stadium in September, 2005. The trio he was referring to was Troy Aikman, Emmit Smith, and Michael Irving, who were being honored and included on the Ring of Fame at Texas Stadium that day.



"I mean, there wasn't a lot of hope for that one, yet we found out, you know, we found a way to win that game, AGAINST our rival, at their place, on Monday night, and uh, the locker room was just -- it was just unbelievable."

-Mark Brunell, Sept. 2005




"...one of the greatest moments for me in sports"

- Joe Gibbs after the game at Texas Stadium, September, 2005.



"The one person over there on our defense that you'd want to pick it up - got it."

-Joe Gibbs, referring to the Sean Taylor blocked kick return with :00 time left on Nov. 5, 2006



"We always seem to have these big, crazy endings. It's unbelievable."

- Renaldo Wynn, after beating Dallas with a Sean Taylor blocked kick runback and a Nick Novak field goal with zero time on the clock, Nov. 5, 2006



"Ever since I've been here, our games against Dallas have ... been wild."

-Jon Jansen, Nov. 5, 2006



"I'll tell you what - if you attend a Cowboy-Redskins game, you better not leave 'til that clock hits zero..."

-Joe Gibbs, Nov. 5, 2006




"**** Dallas"

- Chris Cooley, as autographed on one of his photos on his site



"These guys are done...we can do whatever we want now...",

- Tony Romo to a teammate on the bench, just after throwing a TD pass to Owens to open the second half and tie the game at 17 on Sept 28th, 2008 at Texas Stadium. Dallas would not score again until the final minute. Redskins won 26-24.



"Any Cowboys fan that thinks the Redskins game is just another game is either very young or very stupid."

-Anonymous veteran Dallas fan



"... pro football's greatest rivalry is raging once again."

-Pat Summerall, 1983]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:18:02 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2905012.html#Post2905012 http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2905283.html#Post2905283 aRareKindOfMonster

Hahaha, I'm glad you see it my way, Sauron. Yes, I'd like to "maintain" my current record, I'll be damned if I'd add anything more to it just before I leave.

The current policy for resignation is a month's notice, so that'll mean I'll be out by December 21 or 23 (the folks who I submit my resignation to won't be at work until Monday, so the actual date at which I submit my resignation may be a factor). I'm scheduled to transfer to the ward on December 1. I'm planning to submit my resignation now, then file for a leave starting December 1 up to the time my resignation becomes effective.

If it weren't for the money/salary I'm losing, I'm really looking forward to spending the holidays with my family on a very relaxed atmosphere. I haven't been able to do that since my first son was born, 6 years ago. After that, the pressure of school, then of work, meant that I had to be at the hospital even during holidays, at first to earn credits for graduation, then it became part of my job working even during holidays.

I'm thinking nothing happens by accident, and maybe behind this dark cloud, God has neatly placed a silver lining.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:03:57 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2905275.html#Post2905275 http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2904744.html#Post2904744 TerribleTwo
