Yup, this is the brain-damaged rule that means we in the Bay Area won't be able
to see perhaps the best game of the 1992 NFL season - the Cowpies at 'Skins - on
Sunday. Sigh. Can anyone suggest a place on the Peninsula (PA/MP/MV area) where
one might be able to see this game?

The other day I was watching "The greatest moments in NFL"
hosted by Steve Sabol and he was talking about the Skins. Yes the
Skins used to be in Boston, "Boston Braves". The team moved to Washington
in 1937. I don't think they count those years they were in Boston.

	You forgot the Bills, who have the best record in the 90s so far (and they are
heading for their fifth straight division title, I believe).  The most
important thing needed to be a Dominant team over the long haul is a great GM
who has the freedom to do what he wants, and an owner willing to let him spend
cash. Bill Polian fits that.  He is one of the best GMs in football, just look
at the Bills record since his reign began.  Also, they have a very good
scouting department, which leads to great picks each year to keep up the
quality.  (Note Jeff Wright, Phil Hansen, House Ballard, Thomas, and others)

	I would also add the Redskins, who have a great front office, the best coach
in football, and lots of $$ to burn.  Look for them to sign many free agents.

If Green Bay goes 2-0 and if the Eagles beat Washington but lose to the Giants
(however unlikely) and if Minnesota beats Pittsburgh and if the 'skins beat
the Raiders, (these hypotheticals sure are a mess, aren't they?) I believe
that the Packers, Eagles and Redskins will all be 10-6 with 7-5 conference
records.  How will the tie be broken then?

There are only 6 games which can impact the NFC playoff picture, meaning there
are only 64 scenarios - anyone care to chart them all and lay out the playoffs
under each :-)?

Joyner has said something to this effect:
   -  Braman (Eagles' owner) cares only about money, not wins.  (Because the
   Eagles lost KJ.)
   -  Cunningham was behind Byan's firing and Kotite's hiring, his knee injury
   last year was God's punishment.
   -  Braman wants a puppet (Kotite) as head coach.

Joyner has said not everything was accurately reported but he has not
clarified the particulars.

It was reported in this morning's local paper that Joyner said if he thought
Kotite was a puppet, he would go into Kotite's office and tell him so.

Allegedly, Joyner met with Kotite and Braman and will not be disciplined for
his remarks.


Facts:  Joyner gave an interview.
        Reporter wrote a story.

You make the call!

this is similar to the defense of the bills last season... ranked 26th
overall in the league... i think they were like 14th against the run
and (probably) dead last against the pass...  the bills would always
score real quick... and would score usually having stopped the
opposing team after only allowing them to get a little ways... then
they would give up a big drive... mostly through the air becaiuse the
other team was so far behind, they had to pass...

the only really important stat is the win/loss... the prime
determinants of that i would say are putting the 2 teams yards/play
average against each other... the team with a higher average probably
won the game...

Wait, the 49ers are on the road and it's CBS's turn for a doubleheader
week ... I don't see the problem here.

With the Redskins being at home, we won't get to see the 49'ers-Vikings
matchup, which is the 2nd best matchup of the day ...

I was referring back to the more recent discussion about Aikman's ability
to come through in the clutch.  Actually, in Smith's "recovery" in the
endzone it appeared that he was down before the ball came out again.  But
it was questionable.

Actually, Brister has won more playoff games than Aikman.  Not that I'd
