I'm pretty sure that word was about as popular as a fruity umbrella drink at a shot and beer bar in West Newton until Cowher dragged it out of the mothballs to describe that infamous "stuff a photo in the officials pocket" game. Now, every contoversial/bad moment in sportsdom will forever have that word mentioned somewhere to describe it.<BR/><BR/>If he was smart, he would have trademarked it like Pat Riley did with "Three-peat". AJ, you owe Cowher a nickle. Damn it, me too.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645147302738910500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-58797311477513979372008-11-17T14:08:00.000-05:002008-11-17T14:08:00.000-05:00I think I have mentioned "The Tie" in the past. I ...I think I have mentioned "The Tie" in the past. I was actually at that game and witnessed the debacle with my own eyes. The Steelers had a comfortable 17 point lead in the 4th quarter and let it evaporate. <BR/><BR/>I distinctly recall two things from that experience.<BR/><BR/>1) Walking out of Heinz Field that day was eerily quiet. It was kind of like a funeral. We just watched our team blow a sure win... but yet they didn't lose. Nobody knew how to react. <BR/><BR/>2) Michael Vick made his career playing against Cowher coached Steeler teams. Seriously, the guy pretty much sucked against everybody else, but line him up against black and gold jerseys and he became the new Joe Montana.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301996830494946252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-87012168537018885012008-11-17T12:43:00.000-05:002008-11-17T12:43:00.000-05:00A smart betting man would follow the games Scott G...A smart betting man would follow the games Scott Green and his crew are officiating and bet the spread. I'm thinking the replay official might need to be watched too.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, now that the error has been admitted, what's wrong with changing the official final score back to 17-10? Should the NFL care that bet winnings would need paid back. They shouldn't, since they aren't involved with gambling in anyway, right?Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645147302738910500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-32984317218692874432008-11-17T11:14:00.000-05:002008-11-17T11:14:00.000-05:00I guess ties inspire writers for some reason.

I particularly liked this one for the Eagles/Bengals recap:<BR/><BR/>'"I didn't know that [a tie was possible]," said McNabb, who played a leading role in keeping it tied.'<BR/><BR/>Nice.Brandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465765517283848182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-81187531698204647032008-11-17T10:37:00.000-05:002008-11-17T10:37:00.000-05:00I remember AJ commenting or writing (both of which...I remember AJ commenting or writing (both of which he does a fine job) once of "The Tie". Every time teams in the NFL were getting close to OT, they always referenced that game, now we'll have to hear about the Bungholes/Eagles.HotDog_Zanzabarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232504684195718341noreply@blogger.com
