No, the object is to understand why he considers the "hype factor" to outweigh
what Dallas has accomplished.  I welcome intelligent discussions.  I welcome
comparisons of the two teams; I welcome statistical comparisons; I welcome
those arguments (and other data) which have basis in fact.  I don't
welcome silliness like claiming "Buffalo will win because they want it more"
and "Dallas will be soooooooo distracted" without citing examples or
non-specious arguments.  Oh yeah, and I don't particularly welcome personal 
attacks in what should be a rational discussion.

By winning the NFC East and beating the 49'ers the Cowboys have firmly
established themselves as the class of the NFC.  Emmit Smith was the leauges
leading rusher, Aikman was the NFC's second highest rated quarterback, and
Irvin is clearly one of the top receivers in football.  And don't forget
Dallas's #1 rated defense which is playing for pride after being snubbed by
the league by not sending any Cowboy defenders to the Pro Bowl.  The Cowboys
are riding a wave of momentum right to a Super Bowl victory.
The Bills have not been nearly as consistent as the Cowboys this year.
Quality teams don't have to make 32 point comebacks because they don't find
themselves in such a mess.

 Cowboys: 34
 Bills: 13

Does anyone know how to get this thread to NFL headquarters?  I don't know
about other people but, unless I have a real favorite in the game, after
about 15-20 minutes I start looking around for something else interesting
on TV.  As far as I am personally concerned, they are selling me less of
whatever they are advertising after that.

This year I do have a favorite though, so I'll probably come back after
45 minutes.

Nobody has a gun at your head demanding that you watch it? Do what every
red-blooded american does ....start pigging out or boozing. Or better yet,
if your in the company of other neanderthals who let out their seasonal
anxieties during this time. Start airing your differences...this is the
most ample time to do so. Who screwed up in the first half, what play was
so outlandishly called by a ref that 100,000 or 100 million saw it different.
Its the right time to chew that one person out who's been buzzing in your ear
for the last hour about how your team doesn't have the lard in them to win.

Believe me, you will see just how fast the halftime shit will pass!

The Packers were 12-0-1 in 1929.  (A 0-0 tie against the Frankfort 
Yellow Jackets on November 28.)  I don't know if you consider this not 
being "before the NFL as we know it" although it's true that they 
didn't have playoff games back then.

The net.consensus and media.pundits seem to indicate that Reggie White is
out of Philadelphia. But where is he going? I heard Bill Worndell (sp?) of
the draft guide say on a radio show that the top 2 contenders for him are
Washington and San Diego. SD figures to lose their all-pro DE Leslie O'Neal
to free agency, and that they will go after White as a replacement. SD
is supposedly concerned about how O'Neal's knee will hold up in the long run.
And, of course, White is a better player than O'Neal in all aspects
of the game. White wants to play on grass and for a contender.

Vince Tobin,  possibly former Bears Defensive Coordinator  has been

to Houston & Detroit.  IMHO,  he should go to Houston,  they have a

	What about who they could lose? Is Majkowski a free agent. If so
some team could probably use him. The Patriots, for one. He could probably 
help a lot there. I'm sure he won't be happy riding the bench behind Favre
(I still don't know why the Falcons got rid of him)

Correction: They beat KC at home and Raiders on road. KC is a very tough team
to beat at KC. Dallas-KC at KC could have gone either way just as
Dallas-Denver could have.

Anyway, I feel Dallas will win the SB. A team that can sustain a 9 minute
drive ending in a TD sure is my favorite to win.

By the way, I have noticed that Dallas plays its ace in the second half.
Against Eagles, everybody expected Dallas to feast on the short secondary guy(I
think McMillan). But they started doing that only in the second half. Against
49ers, Emmit Smith was expected to run havoc. But he did that only in the
second half. Is this a secret strategy so that no half time adjustments can be
made?

First, I have a question about the draft.  I know that New England has first pick, Seattle
has second pick, the Super Bowl winner gets 28th pick, and the loser gets 27th pick.  What
I don't know is how the rest of the teams stack up.  Please send the 1st round draft list

evident by my end zone seats, tickets were not that easy to get.
Since I bought these tickets, my request for an upgrade has been
turned down every year because nobody is letting them go. Anyway,
who cares what was happening three years ago? Getting 70,000 people
at a pep rally that they could have watched on TV is a great 
tribute to a great team.

GO COWBOYS!
