Since the Skins love to throw the old tired haven't won a playoff game since 1996 line seeing how that measures a teams success, I thought I would see what the year 1992 was all about-The year the Skins won their last Super Bowl.

Well in 1992:

The first Nicotine patch is introduced to help stop smoking and DNA Fingerprinting is Invented.

In The UK Rioting breaks out in Cities including Bristol and in France Euro Disney opens

In the US Bill Clinton becomes president and the largest Mall in America Minnesota's Mall of America is constructed spanning 78 acres

Mafia boss John Gotti is sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder and racketeering

Hurricane Andrew hits South Florida

McDonalds opens first McDonalds in Beijing China

TWA Declares Bankruptcy

Rioting breaks out in Los Angeles following the acquittal of four white police officers accused of beating black motorist Rodney King.

CBS televised the NFC instead of the AFC like they do today

NBC televised all AFC games, not Sunday Night games and occasional inter-conference games
(When an AFC team visited Texas Stadium in 92, NBC televised it)

Miami Hurricane football was REALLY good; today, they have a lot of rebuilding to do

The Rams and Raiders were still in California

The Seahawks were in the AFC

The Bengals stink

Don't forget, we beat the skins that year. Jimmy caught the skins off guard and called that onside kick in which we recovered and eventually beat them.
