We had a die hard Cowboy fan, and he would get all huffy and red in the face whenever I “accidentally” mispronounced Landry’s name. It was so amusing to see his spit and stutter trying to get a good comeback. 
I miss the good old days, when we had Don Merideth, Bob Hayes, Bob Lilly, Mel Renfro, Don Perkins and John Nialand. Pro Football was a different sport then, before all the lawyers, ad agancies, insurance companies, talent agancies and politicians got ahold of it. Nowadays, the participants are more like Rock Stars, than athletes who should be setting examples to the youngsters.
I am sure one of the ancient Romans said the same thing when someone suggested altering thier tactics.
Semper Fi!
just wanted to bump this one up, still a few spots to fill.
i found some nice feathers and had to change my team colors.
tying up some Jaguars streamers. i think they look pretty cool, hope you like them.
don’t worry Diane, I do have that Bronco streamer as promised.
the colts looked really good thursday night, but the Pats are going to put on a good show today.
I’m not a big Bengal fan, but put me down for a Bengal Jitterbee. Because I like the colors. JGW
Just a bump and an update.
How did everyone’s teams do the first official week? There were some good games, great surprises, and excellent plays to rewatch.
Diane
jaguar streamers are in the mail. to bad we couldn’t get 12 players for a full team.
anyway, please keep any extras Diane.
even with VIDEO GATE looks like the Patriots are going to put on a great show this year. we won’t see Indy until week 9
looking forward to seeing the flies everyone tied

Diane, you are to keep the extra’s from me also. John
Can someone PM me with Diane’s address? I seem to have misplaced it.
Thanks,
Mike
pm sent
Address sent, Mike, and I didn’t get your PM, Don. Unless you sent it to Mike, too. :lol:
Diane
yes, that 1 went to Mike. hope all is well on the home field Diane.
Fairly well. Won 2 games, lost 1. And the fish are still biting!
This season certainly is interesting. The talk off-field is almost as interesting as the games on the field!
Diane
Flies are in the mail.
Since the Skins are actually starting the season right, I decided to tie them on real hooks and without all that extra weight! :lol:
…I decided to tie them on real hooks and without all that extra weight! :lol:
ROFLMAO!!
Don, I received your flies in the mail yesterday, and they look great. It makes me want to go out Florida and watch a game… 
Thanks for being in the swap. It’s always a pleasure to see your flies.
Diane
thanks Diane. thanks for hosting again.
Don
I have run into a snag. I had ordered more white Angel Hair to have enough to complete this swap, and I waited on Cabelas…and waited…and waited…, and today I finally called them. It has been on back order. None of the Fly SHops around here carry anything I can use for the Shads.
I am going to stay up all night tonight and tie some Dallas Cowboy Chernobyle Ants. They will be in the mail first thing tomorrow. I will send them express mail so they will get there by the deadline. (I hope).
I hope this doesn’t inconveinience anyone. My apologies. I should’ve checked sooner.
Sincerely,
Gigmaster
I noticed no one is doing anything from the Buffalo Bills. Hmmmm.
Q: What’s the difference between the Buffalo Bills and One Dollar Bills?
A: You can get 4 good quarters out of dollar bills.
Q: What do the St. Louis Rams and opossums have in common?
A: They both play dead at home and get killed on the road.
Q: How many Vikings does it take to win a Superbowl?
A: No one knows, and we may never find out…
Dallas Cowboy Factoids
Q: What do you call a Drug Ring in Dallas?
A: A huddle.
Q: There are 4 Dallas Cowboys in a car. Who is driving?
A: The Police.
Q: Why can’t Michael Irvin be in a Dallas Cowboy huddle anymore?
A: It’s a parole violation for him to associate with known felons.
The Chicago Bears are trying to trade for Michael Irvin. They got rid of “The Refrigerator”, and now they want a “Coke Machine”.
The Cowboys have adopted a new Honor System. “Yes, Your Honor!”…“No, Your Honor!”…
The Cowboys had a 12 and 5 season last year. 12 Arrests and 5 convictions…
In order to strengthen thier defense, the Dallas Cowboys have just hired a new Defense Coodinator…Johnny Cochran!
Q: How do Dallas Cowboys spend their first week of Training Camp?
A; Studying the Miranda Rights.
The 7 Dwarves fell into a deep chasm. Snow White ran to the edge and called out to them. A voice came up from the bottom, “the St. Louis Rams will be Superbowl Contenders this year.” “Thank Goodness”, exclaimed Snow White. “At least Dopey is still alive…”
A little bear was at his custody hearing, and the Judge asked him who he wanted to live with. He said " I don’t want to live with Momma Bear. She beats me. And I don’t want to live with Pappa Bear. He beats me, too." The Judge asked him if he had any relatives he’d like to live with. The little bear thought for a moment, then said " I want to live with the Chicago Bears. They don’t beat anybody!"
By the way, my flies are done. I’ll mail them this morning.
Hi guys–no hurry on getting the flies to me…You have a month left…
I’m extending the deadline because the neighbor may want to join, but can’t decide who yet… We’ll see. There are also a few material problems for some folks. I’m sure no one minds watching a few more weeks of ball while materials are made and found…
Thanks again for joining the swap…
BTW–love those jokes!!!
Wow! That’s a load off my mind, but I’ve already tied the replacement flies. Oh well, I’ll just send them in too, and everyone can have an extra fly.
