I was able to get the retired Battle Of The Bulge set "Nuts" last week for $75. I guess it originally sold for $89. I was surprised that I was the only bidder.

Baseball has become a joke. I can't watch it anymore. What kills baseball is that the owners don't stick together like they do in the NFL. The players union runs MLB. The real commisioner of baseball has been Donald Fehr. What baseball needs is a strong commisioner like Landis who came in after...

I have some of the British FOB and I think they're great. I really like the sculpting and posing of the figures. Hopefully they'll be coming out with more. It would be nice to see them do another FOB for maybe the Italian theater or somewhere in the Pacific.

Very cool stuff George. Who makes those figures? I've been looking at painting some 28mm WW2 but looking for good figures that are realistic looking. Some of the figures I've looked are kind of dwarfish looking.

I agree 100%. I can't see why there can't be at least a four soldier box put out for the gloss figures. Who wants to buy a single gloss figure? I have all these little single boxes accumulating and they're a pain.

I read an interesting article on CNNSI.com about bad teams getting in the playoffs. It blames it on having four team divisions. The last time the NFL had this setup was in the late 1960's. The year of the Ice Bowl game both the Packers and Cowboys were 9 win teams. The Colts had won 11 games but...

I thought that rule meant if you jump up and catch the ball and you come down and land you have to maintain possesion. Like if you land on your back and the ball comes out then it's incomplete. But Holmes took 3 steps with clear posession and then reached the ball out and it came out when he hit...

It was looking like another Heinz Field AFC Championship nightmare for the Steelers. Ravens down only two points and the Steelers offense couldn't move the ball anymore. The play by Polomalu was incredible. I was happy with the pick but then to see him go 40 yards across the field and score was...

Brad thanks for the link. Looks like there are few Staddens on Ebay. Are most Staddens out there painted by collectors? How can you tell if it's an original paint job? How do you remove paint from a figure? If I repaint something , I usually just prime over the old paint job.

I don't think Parker will get 100 yards. I think the way to beat the Ravens is to throw the ball. They can be passed on. And don't make any stupid turnovers. You say the Ravens gave the Steelers the first game. How's that? That game turned when Jarret Johnson gave Hines Ward a cheap shot out of...

I don't have any Staddens, just a few sets of Tradition toy soldier castings I painted. I'd like to get some Stadden castings but I was looking in that Tradition USA catalog this morning and it says 2-4 MONTHS for delivery. Are the Staddens that you find at shows & online painted or unpainted?

Brad, really great figures. I ordered a Tradition catalog a few years ago and there was a big section called custom made soldiers. Are these the Stadden castings? I got the catalog from Tradition USA in Minnesota. Any idea if they're still in business?

George you're right about Roethlisberger. I don't know if he'll be ready. Even if he is physically I don't know about mentally. We'll see. I have no problem with Leftwich playing. I think he'd have no problem running the offense.

Two teams I don't want to have to play in the playoffs are the Ravens again or the Patriots. I don't know the Patriots chances of making the playoffs but I don't want to see them coming to Heinz Field. Too many bad memories. I can see the Jets losing to Seattle next week so the Pats might still...

I voted Other - K&C Big Red One figures.

Maybe Weis will end up back in New England if McDaniel gets a head coaching job somewhere?

You are right about the 20 something crowd. The main event for them isn't the game, it's the partying. Playing stupid drinking games, chugging whiskey and then go into the stadium and start fights, puke and pass out. There's nothing wrong with having a couple beers, grilling some bratwurst...

Just read a great book about the first real powerhouse team in the NFL called "The Breaker Boys". In 1925 the Pottsville Maroons from little Pottsville PA. blew away all opponents including the Packers and Bears. They beat the Chicago Cardinals (Now the Arizona Cardinals) for the championship at...

16-0 in the regular season? Who cares. You didn't win the Championship although Patriot fans act like they are the champs.You never named the players from the 70's who were on steroids. So who were they? You don't know what your talking about. How long was Rodney Harrison using HGH? I don't know...

No it wasn't jealousy last year. It was because they're just a very unlikeable team. If the Titans have a chance to go undefeated this year, I'm sure a lot of people will be rooting for them. No I don't call The Terrible Towel tradition. I call having the greatest team of all time tradition. A...
