[speaker001:] So, who's your favorite team?
[speaker002:] My favorite team is the Pittsburgh Steelers.
[speaker001:] Pittsburgh?
[speaker002:] You bet.
[speaker001:] I used to be a big Pittsburgh fan when I was little.
[speaker002:] Well, I, uh, when John Stallworth played he was from my hometown in Alabama,
[speaker001:] Oh, really?
[speaker002:] so I kind of grabbed on to that team,
[speaker001:] Huh. That's pretty nice.
[speaker002:] way back when.
[speaker001:] Yeah, that's good. I, I used to watch them a lot when they were playing the big iron curtain,
[speaker002:] That's right.
[speaker001:] or steel curtain.
[speaker002:] How about your favorite team?
[speaker001:] Huh. Well, last year it was Buffalo and I, I still try to keep up with Buffalo because they just, they just impressed me as being so efficient and they never score. They never blow out their opponents. They just score just enough points,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and that really impressed me. But then down here I li-, is pretty close to New Orleans and I've been keeping up with the Saints a lot.
[speaker002:] Well, they are exciting, aren't they?
[speaker001:] Yeah, the Saints are starting to impress me this year, you know, a lot.
[speaker002:] Boy, they are, they are just a fun team to watch.
[speaker001:] This, it, they are really. Did you see the game Sunday night or,
[speaker002:] Uh,
[speaker001:] Sunday afternoon?
[speaker002:] no, I didn't.
[speaker001:] It was funny. There were, they ha-, uh, a fireworks display at halftime.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Oh, yeah?
[speaker001:] Yeah, and some paper or something in the Super Dome up in the roof caught [LAUGHTER] on fire.
[speaker002:] Oh, you're kidding [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] So, they had to stop the game in lieu of the third quarter
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Oh, my gos-,
[speaker001:] and put out this fire. Those big piece of something came flaming, falling out of the roof and landed on the field so there's this big fire on the field and they were dumping the Gatorade bucket and everything.
[speaker002:] Oh, I can't believe that.
[speaker001:] It was funn-, I mean, you just really can't tell what's going to happen.
[speaker002:] That's hilarious.
[speaker001:] I know. It's like about two weeks ago I was watching the Saints.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] And Morton Anderson kicked a sixty yard field goal.
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] And it, it was beautiful, right down the middle.
[speaker002:] Oh, boy. He is tough, he has
[speaker001:] He is.
[speaker002:] an incredible leg.
[speaker001:] Yes.
[speaker002:] Well, do you think they're, they're going to be able to make it this year,
[speaker001:] Uh I s-,
[speaker002:] past the first playoff game?
[speaker001:] I sure hope so. I'm not sure, I'm not sure who they play. Right now I've got it narrowed down to the top four teams.
[speaker002:] Who's that?
[speaker001:] It's pretty much going between Washington. They are undefeated.
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] And, uh, Buffalo, New Orleans, and Chicago because Chicago has only lost twice and one of those was to Buffalo. And they beat the Saints. Their only time they lost.
[speaker002:] What do you think about, uh, Houston?
[speaker001:] Houston. I saw Houston play this summer in Memphis.
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah?
[speaker001:] Yeah. Uh, from what I saw they were playing, when I was at the game we sat right on the front row,
[speaker002:] Huh.
[speaker001:] right behind the Houston Oilers, and from what I saw the game Houston, Houston impressed me a lot.
[speaker002:] Huh.
[speaker001:] But my brother watched it on T V and said that Warren Moon was just having an off night, and if that was an off night I'd hate to see when he's on a good night.
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah, he's
[speaker001:] He's,
[speaker002:] he definitely, uh, is one of the best I think.
[speaker001:] Yeah, the, their, their backfield is really impressive. Haywood Jeffreys and Drew Hill
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] and Allen, they really impress me.
[speaker002:] Well, they squeaked out a game on Sunday.
[speaker001:] That's right. Who, who did they play?
[speaker002:] They played Dallas.
[speaker001:] Dallas, that's right,
[speaker002:] They won,
[speaker001:] all because,
[speaker002:] in overtime.
[speaker001:] That's right. I remember that now.
[speaker002:] So that was, I, I watched that game and, uh, that was, uh,
[speaker001:] Do you have a favorite between those two?
[speaker002:] Well, because I'm right here in Dallas I, I kind of pull for Dallas.
[speaker001:] Really? [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah. Well, also Houston is, uh, in Pittsburgh's division so,
[speaker001:] Well, that's true.
[speaker002:] I'll almost always root against them.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] I hate to say it but I hate Dallas [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] That's okay [LAUGHTER]. Well I, you know, I, I was never really a big Dallas fan
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] until we moved here and they just kind of grew on me.
[speaker001:] Yeah, I imagine. That's the way, I've never been a big Saints fan until the last year or two and they, they've actually started doing something.
[speaker002:] Yeah. Yeah.
[speaker001:] So, I've actually pl-, paid attention to them.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Well [breathing],
[speaker001:] Well, do you know anything about the expansion teams they're thinking about bringing in?
[speaker002:] To tell you the truth I haven't paid too much attention to that.
[speaker001:] Really?
[speaker002:] Um, what cities are they looking at?
[speaker001:] Uh, right now I think this Memphis, they're, they're trying to get the teams.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] And that's, that's where I was when I saw, uh,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Houston play. Saint Louis is trying to get a team. Uh, Baltimore is trying to get a team, and there's some other city. I'm wanting to say Raleigh Durham but I'm not sure.
[speaker002:] You know, I think you are right. I think it is Raleigh.
[speaker001:] Think so?
[speaker002:] I think I remember hearing that.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh. Because I know they've got a football team but I think it might be them.
[speaker002:] That would be fun. I'd like to see some more teams get in.
[speaker001:] I would, definitely. I think they are supposed to put two in by either next year or the year after. And right now I think Memphis and, it's Memphis and I think Baltimore have a really good shot at it.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Because I know Saint Louis is much bigger than Memphis and when I went up there they were saying that Memphis sold more tickets than Saint Louis did.
[speaker002:] Oh, really?
[speaker001:] Yeah. It's like the Liberty Bowl or Liberty Stadium in Memphis holds about sixty-two,
