I'm sure there may be some minor advantages in playing on your home field, but isn't the chief advantage that it's filled with your fans?
You don't get that in the Super Bowl because each team is allotted the same nu9mber of tickets.

You have to remember, though, that they had Hugh Culverhouse as owner. He was incompetent times 20. Oh, I've never forgotten it. I was there.

Thanks for the all kinds words about the Archives. I hope to make an announcement in the near future about what will happen to my data. It does NOT involve reviving the Archives web site. Yes, I was thinking that the data must still exist, so it can be turned into a book or some sort of database.

Denver looks horrible tonight. They can't even make a first down in the second half. Meanwhile, New England is moving the ball like a playoff team.
