(Tecmo?) Super Bowl

I might be down for some Super Bowl chillin' at your place Seth. I might also be down for some Tecmo Super Bowl chillin. I'm already in my 3rd season at home. After winning Super Bowls with the Bengals and Giants (LT had 64 sacks) I've started a season with Detriot. Barry Sanders has over 1,000 yards after two games. I think it is safe to say he is the bomb shizzy. Anyhooch, I'm down for some Risk if anyone else is. Also, here's an email showing how smartful lawers really is.

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters.

  1. Those quotes were sweet... I'm jealous of your tecmo bowl success too. I played about 15 minutes with KC against the bills and I struggled to dominate, I think I've lost my touch... Who am I kidding I never was great at that game, I remember Troy ripping my heart out one weekend when he beat me in the supper bowl after playing an entire season at his house. Anyway, once you and Eddie are officially lawyers, lawyer jokes are going to mean so much more.
