Locker Room Talk

3 points?  That's it???  Sheesh.  Well, the media around town has continued to dissect why, how, and most importantly what was said after the game.  Why?  Well, there wasn't much to the game.  What are the secrets?

If we're talking about what's said, I go with what the Big Scoop said when New England went up 10.  "Fiddlesticks!"  Things like that help keep it all in perspective.  I was later found sitting on the floor with my head adjacent to a coffee table, in essence feeding myself empanadas.  Sounds like any other weekend.

Looking for solace, I went to YouTube to find some post-game talk from bygone eras.  I didn't need a rehash of what we all saw with our own eyes.  I'm climbing down the 70s football well and then I saw this...I immediately got out of my chair, turned around to see that no one in my house would possibly care about this the way I do, and then sat down and looked again.  In wonder.

 That's Bert Jones, Baltimore Colts QB, happily discussing a win.  But what was that in the frame?  It wasn't supposed to be the focal point...but good god.  Is that a stack, half a dozen plus, of snoose?  Just for Bert?  I guess I shouldn't ask questions but...



How much do we want to bet he got it for free?
Did Irsay miss it because he was on a plane to "Ariezooner"?
How often are the tins replaced?
Who on the staff would claim it's just "leftover from the Orioles"?
Is the percentage of people back then not even noticing 99% or 100%?

Bert got the win, he has some dip to deal with, leave the man alone.  Football season is done.  March can't come soon enough.
