From there his first cousin who is best friends with Gronkowskis' sister told Bill Bilichek about Tommy G's football expertise and the two met for dinner and a game of chess (which Tommy G won in two moves) and the two became fast friends. According to Tommy G's blog, "I KNOW EVERYTHING, SO STFU", it was Tommy G who Bilichick called during half-time of the Super Bowl for advice on how to win the game. Robert Kraft offered Tommy G a full time job as Special Advisor to Bilicheck after the game which Tommy turned down as he had already been asked by Angelina Jolie to end world hunger as well as to father a genius child with her to be conceived under the Sahara Moon. So, with Brad Pitt out of the picture of course he agreed to lend her a hand.

I'm still dusting off my HTML skills (such as they are, circa Y2K lol) and this definitely isn't like riding a bike. But it's not rocket science, either. I've really been enjoying the design phase of the site and I especially love having the ability to share classic game videos so other die-hards like me can relive their childhood without the intellectual property police over at YouTube banning the videos worldwide and yanking them down two minutes after I upload them. |

I wouldn't be so hasty with that. The Black and Gold Zone on Facebook is a fine page, but message boards aren't completely dead. If you think about it, Reddit is basically just one big message board with some social media crossover features like upvoting and downvoting posts. I joined The Black and Gold Zone to keep up with people that I met on here, but if they want to migrate back to here or split time between both, I'm fine with any of it. I'll groove with whatever ![]() |

Dude, the whole world is on facebook anymore. Most of the old members from here migrated into a group called The Black and Gold Zone on there (hopefully they stop back and give this board a second go-round). But I understand why some prefer to stay off of it. I started a thread for Pre-Draft Visits that I intend to keep updated if you wanna check it out: Pre-Draft Visits, Dinners, Profiles, and Highlight Reels I agree that they shouldn't go QB in the first round this year. I like throwing the dice on Nate Peterman or Chad Kelly in the later rounds though. |

I am less concerned with participation in this board vs facebook. That exposure is just potentially too broad and unwieldy for me. My wife participates somewhat. My son did until the past year or so. I also hope prior participants come back for a look and begin to contribute.
You put a lot of effort into the visit summary. Thank you. |

My guess is that Lake and some of the others will wander over here in time. A few of us from The Black and Gold Zone are already here.....roots run pretty deep.

I still have my shingle out, but I'm definitely off the rat race. RE: Plans. I would doubt we will relocate, in fact, we moved here 20 years ago with an eye toward this very moment in our lives. I still have to get my wife retired, which will be in another year and a half before much of anything else happens. Oddly enough, my musical career has been picking up as of late, bassists are always in demand ( I guess), and plan a lot of studio work ( thank heavens for modern technology) as well as live performances. Some guys bowl, some guys golf, I play music and get paid for it. Total cool. We took a 2 week trip to Japan the fall of 2015. Thanks to my daughter in law that put together a fantastic itinerary, we saw a lot of the country including MT Fugi, Toyko, Kyota, Osaka, and Okanowa. The only thing on the itinerary we didn't get to do was to see the Giants baseball game that was rained out. Japanese baseball is a very different fan experience than the American brand. The fans are totally engaged all 9 innings. We're hoping their next duty station is Hawaii.... |

BTW, Tim the video section is priceless. What amazing fun. (Dodge Aspen, the car that will literally disintegrate before your eyes... Mullets.."the best beer in America, Miller Highlife") I know there is a comment section, but I can't seem to find the words to explain the experience, I seem go through them sort of dumbfounded.
It was a great game back then, especially the defense, that in these days basically has been outlawed by decree. I keep waiting for the NFL, in the name of player safety, to eventually limit defense to just one player who must stay within 3 feet of the center on his side of the line of scrimmage, essentially awarding victory to the winner of the coin flip, not to mention making fantasy football junkies joyfully delirious with unlimited scoring opportunities. Anyway, Kudos Tim. I'm having an absolute blast here, and hopefully this site redux regains the traction you had years ago. Sincerely, thank you!!

Glad you're enjoying the games, Dave. I'm right there with you. I absolutely love 'em. And being able to go back and watch pretty much an entire season, in order... too cool. '78 is all there except one game. '79 will all be there soon, I'd say within the next 2 weeks. Then there's 1980, which is still hard to watch. By far, the most disappointing season of my life. They started so strong, in spite of having lot of injuries... but you can see the injuries and age take them down as the season progresses. By the end of the season, they're backed into a corner and you have all these walking wounded pressing way too hard, making too many mistakes, just physically unable to get it done the way they used to. They had a beast schedule in 1979. Turned the ball over a TON and faced a lot of injuries, yet STILL scored the most points in the league and won the Super Bowl. Pretty amazing. |
