Does anyone else try to watch this from time to time? I try to do it sometime before the season every year and with training camp starting up this week, I figured today would be as good a time as any. It was even better this year as I now have it on DVD ;)
I still get chills watching it all and I got to thinking. I hope Steve Jackson tells his players to "do as I say, not as I do" as he kept getting burned by Andre because he watched Frank Reich instead of Andre.

I watched it this offseason. It;s strange watching it on video after I was there for the game. The thing that hits me most watching it on video is how the Oilers really self-destructed.

Yeah- every kick-off was an adventure for them in the second half

He went to Carolina in their expansion year with Pete Metzelaars and Don Beebe. He finished up in Detroit.

Now he does a lot of speaking - he's also pretty big doing church engagements- he's quite religious.

Former professional quarterback Frank Reich will be long remembered for authoring two of the greatest rallies in football history.

Speaking Saturday night at Second Baptist Church of LaFayette, Reich led another rally of sorts, urging a Men’s Night Out gathering to stay strong in their walks with Jesus Christ.

“God had a design for us when he created the world and you and I in his image,” said Reich, who, after a 14-year NFL career, is pursuing a master of divinity degree at a Charlotte, N.C., seminary at which he is also an administrator. “We have been created to have fellowship with God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.” ...more

1994 was the first year of the salary cap, and in 94 and 95 there was an exodus of Bills- unfortunately Reich was one of them. I really regret that when Kelly retired, Frank wasn't given the reigns- even for 1 year. Todd Collins and Billy Joe Hobart were a complete waste of time.
