We have the hapless lions...
Vieing, once again for the worst record in the NFL..Our hopes are focused on 'winning' the worst record to get the first round draft pick, again.
Every so often they make a run for it, and let it slip, but those are few and far between.

At least they helped out the Eagles by beating Dallas.

Ironton is the "I" in the DT&I r.r..The N&W r.r. also had a desent size yard in Ironton (mp.n 580.0 - mp.n 578.0) that interchanged with the DT&I.The yard still operated by the NS is not a very busy place anymore,mainly MoW storage,and one business that unloads salvage coal and loads sulpher tankcars.At one time it was the only yard on the N&W that operated 24/7,365 days a year,all 3 shifts including Christmas. Ironton lies east of Portsmouth by about 22 railroad miles.

Another bit of football trivia is who were the original Washington Redskins?
Answer: Pottsville Maroons from Pottsville Pa. back in the late 20s early 30s.
Still today they still have the maroon color in there jerseys.

I disowned the Yankees as my 2nd team when they sold the Columbus Clippers
When will someone make a REDS boxcar?
I had to hear all about the "Bucks" going to the BCS championship bowl game at work.
Now I'll have to do some counselling when I return .
Oh ! What about Kentucky and WVU ? I was really impressed with UK this year.
But the "Buckeyes" did very well all year.
Their fieldgoal kicker is from the next little town beside me,Raceland,Ky (home of the CSX carshop -now Progress Rail's facility) .
The MTH Ohio State train will remain silent for the remainder of the week Was that an @$$ whoppin or what? Here in columbus they were selling gator meat at least we beat Michigan

I just want to make sure you are OK after last nights game. I am a Penn State fan so I was obvioulsy pulling for the Big Ten team, but that was pretty bad. Maybe next year. Hang in there.
