Well, at least Die Hard 2 had one of the all-time great film bloopers...

Of course, most of the movie is set on the grounds of Dulles Airport... at the beginning of the movie, McClain flies into Dulles, and upon entering the terminal, the first thing he does is goes to a pay phone to call Holly...

A Pacific Bell pay phone... in Dulles Airport... in Virginia...

He covers the NFL for the Houston Chronicle and loves sticking a thorn in Houston fans sides by giving the Cowboys props. He's always done this and it's pretty funny.
You can't spell bias without BS.

He was telling me that despite what some people think he really like Jerry Jones and thinks Jerry is a very smart guy. As for Parcells he told me he think Bill is an ars hole but did have something positive to say about Bill and that is he sees no way Bill will have back to back losing season just not going to happen. He also mentioned each year he goes to Vegas to place a bet on next years SB and always goes with an a team who odds are not that great (By the way he was going to Vegas after he took care of his bank business that day) and this year he said he would put his money on the Cowboys. I know none of this is ground breaking news just thought I would share this with all of you.
Very cool story, thank you for sharing.
But I still don't know what any team saw Thursday night that would have made them comfortable with waiting a round or two for the offensive lineman they wanted. ---Todd McShay
We just converted half our LB to DL. We have a 30m starting DL, it better be pretty friggin good.

It was my pleasure. I still don't have an overly high opinion of McClain but it is a bit better than before. I still think most sports writers are arrogant and feel they know more about the sport than the fans. I should have added he did say he had the best job in the world and I had to agree with him on that
