Closer in Time Game: Last Playoff Win Edition

The first use of ZIPCODES. Zip, in case you are wondering, is short for Zone Improvement Plan, and a marketing plan was launched by the government to get people to start using them with a song “The Swinging Six”. Sounds like it belongs in a middle of the road porno, if you ask me. But nobody did so never mind.

Cliff Claven, is that you?

@Michael

what’s the song they played on the pregame against the Skins during CBS’ montage of the Lion’s?

OK, enough suspense… What was the song?

A Florida without Disney World is closer in time to the Lions’ last playoff victory than we are now.

Tina Turner - We Don’t Need Another Hero. Really emphasized the Lion’s as the underdog, and Summerall’s voice over was fantastic. It was the only 45 seconds of that game worth remembering.

I was working at a full service gas station early in '73, gasoline was 29.9 cents/gal… a year later it was an unheard of 89.9/gal… I also paid only 15.9/gal during one of the “gas wars” that popped up from time to time prior to the OPEC oil embargo.

I once was in line for my last ride on Millenium Force when a massive thunderstorm broke out. Naturally the park closed almost immediately. Thousands of us booed and jeered that we weren’t going to be able to ride suicide missions through lightning strikes in an all metal coaster. Roller coasters promote poor decision making. Damn fun though.
