The writer used the word 'tilt' in describing that game. I thought that was extremely fitting. It was the Texans left with dead flippers, standing mouth wide-open, looking at the scoreboard! LOL
Congrat's to Steve Gleason. That restaurant gathering got me thinking... When I was a kid, my Mom worked at Ruth's Chris at 711 Broad. It was a favorite of professional athletes from around the country. All sports. She used to call me a cab and I'd show up to collect autographs. Right at the dinner table! I particularly remember giving Garo Yapremian crap for that muffed pass on a blocked field goal. I think he wrote "F... off, kid - Garo Yapremian" LOL Here's to a long, rich life for Gleason.

HERE WE COME, TA GE' CHU!!!!

Beautiful stuff. There are things more important than football. This shows what a GREAT organization this is. He should be an honorary for SB46.

Smashmouth - I think it was between '71 and '73. The Broad Street location is the Original Ruth's Chris's. Now they are EVERYWHERE. And very consistent.
No better steak anywhere, but PRICEY!!! Ruth Fertel is long gone, however. Bless her. Alaska |
