No, I would say that if someone makes a stupid statement like the preceeding,that 
they don't deserve bandwidth on the net. As I explain for the umpteenth time below,
proffessional bookies make the spread, not the NFL front office, and that spread
is an indication of ~betting action~, not perceived strengths/weaknesses of the
respective teams.

O.K. folks, one more time, in unison: The point spread has little, if anything,
to do with how the proffessional bookies really think a team is going to
do! This is ~especially~ true of the Niners, whose spread is consistently
inflated by the Nevada books because of the heavy betting action they always
see on San Francisco. i.e., the 19-21 point spread is what was necessary to
get more Tampa Bay money through the door.

Remember the `90 Superbowl between Denver and the Niners? Well, ignore, for a
moment, the fact that S.F. eventually won in a rout.
Instead, look back on how the point spread for that game evolved. It opened in
high single digits; around 8 or 9. At that spread, the amount of money that
came through the doors on the favored Niners was unbelivable. Instantly, the
books began making the spread a little bigger each day, in hopes of getting some
`dog money on the Broncos. No dice, until the final couple of days, at which
time the spread had grown to an unprecedented (for modern superbowls) 14 points!

By game day, some books were giving Denver as much as 15 1/2 points, just in
and effort to even out the betting. This change in the point spread had ~nothing~
to do with any change in respective team personnel or conditions during the
two weeks between conference finals and the Superbowl. It was driven purely by
the bettors.

IMHO, I don't feel Shanahan is cut out to be a HEAD COACH. He is
doing just fine at his current job. However, if his role were to
be ONLY as a PUPPET, then he would fit it. ;-)

hey Green Bay Bob from IBM.

Let's make a bet since we are so close to each other.

I was going to bet with my girlfriend cause she is from Wisc originally.
But she likes Joe Montana and the 49ers.

The Bet:

When the Vikings win, you have to go with me to a sporting goods store and buy
both of us Viking jerseys or NFC Central Divison Champion shirts.  You then
have to wear the Viking jersey for an agreed upon amount of time.

If, on the very unlikely chance that the packers win, then I will have to buy
both of us Green Bay Packer jerseys.  No champion t-shirts because there is no
such thing (ar,ar, ha, ha :^) :^)  ).  You can then wear your's to your heart's
content and I will use mine to wash my truck :^)  (ar, ar, ar) no, i guess I 
will wear it.

How about it.  You need to reply to me before 10:00 am tomorrow as I will
be going home to the great white north of Northern MN for Christmas.

                                         Best of Luck,    Chad

Well, it is 4th qtr. the 2:00 whistle just blew and the
score is Packers  7  Vikings  27. Well played game by
Salisbury and company. Del Rio was truly awesome on
defense. Not to FLAME all the great Pack fans, but they
had control of their destiny in this game and they
were only pretenders this year.

Subject: GIANTS-K.C. stats and stuff
Date: 22 Dec 92 04:02:25 GMT
Organization: University of Pennsylvania



This is for ALN and any other GIANTS who may be lurking there on the net:

First quarter:  after doing little on their very first possesion, the GIANTS
	held the K.C. offense and got the ball back.  Bunch had a great 16 yard
	run and Hoss was incredibly hot hitting Hampton for 12 yards and then
	throwing a 21 yarder to Ingram.  GIANTS 7-0
	Then, Red Hot Chilli Pepper Johnson intercepts a Kreig pass and returns
	it 38 yards to set up a Hampton 2 yard run. GIANTS 14-0
	
Second quarter: On K.C.s possesion, the big play was a 25 yard pass from Kreig
	to Hargain.  On the GIANTS 13, K.C. was held to 2 downs and it looked
	like they'd have to settle for a FG but Kreig runs for 8. Okoye tries
	to run from the 3 but gets BATTERED by Pepper.  Pepper reads the next
	run and tries to get at Okoye but is taken out by the lead blocker and
	K.C. scores: GIANTS 14-KC 7
	The GIANTS then just drive 70 yards including a 11 yard run by Hoss and
	a 14-yard pass to Calloway.  So far Hoss has been nearly perfect, the
	only incompletions he'd had were dropped balls by Cross and Brown. Then
	Hoss just throws a beautiful pass to Calloway who is able to pull it 
	in.  Dale Carter was defending well on the play but Hoss' pass was
	perfect. GIANTS 21- KC 7

Third Quarter: The very first possesion, the GIANTS drive 82 yards including
	a great 37 yarder by Bunch bouncing off tacklers and Hampton making
	a short pass to a 20 yarder.  Hoss to Cross.  GIANTS 28- KC 7
	Next possesion, Hampton just runs 20 yards straight in for a TD
	increasing the lead to GIANTS 35-KC 7
	Kreig throws a bad pass to Tim Barnett and Jackson looks like he's
	about to intercept but Barnett grabs it and runs for a 77 yard TD.
	GIANTS 35- KC 14	

Fourth Quarter: The Chiefs drive deep into GIANTS territory but Kreig gets
	pressured and is forced to unload... intercepted by Corey Miller.
	Then long snapper Brandis throws one too high for Rodriguez whose
	subsequent attempt is blocked and recovered by K.C. 
	Final score: GIANTS 35- KC 21.

Both Bunch and Hampton has 84 yards each! Ottis Andersen came in for the last
drive of the second quarter and had 24 yards as the crowd just cheered him on!

Hoss was 10-16 for 131 yards, 2 TDS and no INTS.

The GIANTS defense held Okoye to 36 yards and the KC offense to 48 yards
rushing.  They picked off Kreig twice and sacked him once.

Hoss was untouched all day and only took one hit.  The offensive line did a
great gob at both pass protection and run blocking.

Even when the GIANTS looked like they were about to rout, the crowd never
let up on their chants of "Ray Must Go".

Like I said before... too little too late.  Bring on Coughlin!

And might I remind you NFC boasters that in twelve superbowls from

14-12 in favor of the NFC and all this Conference dominance shit is making
me very tired.  

And to the Purple Bleeder-- Talk about NFC dominance when your team 
actually wins a superbowl.  Mine's won 4 including one against your
purple people.

Please read the following before you make anymore generalizations about
the future of the AFC.  (this info taken from wuarchive.wustl.edu).

	Well, MacPherson is, so far, a flop.  But then, there aren't many

Cleveland didn't finish THAT badly.  Belicheck is doing a decent job with

	Why would they get rid of Flores?  If the Seahawks fired Flores,
they'd be making the gravest mistake.  He inherited a lousy team.  It'd
be like firing Tom Landry in 1960 for not winning a game.

	As for Phoenix, they'll never give Reeves the power to fix that
team's woes.  If he gets hired there, he'll quit in frustration a year
later.

	The best places for Reeves might be the Giants, where he can 
rebuild the team from scratch (like Parcells did in '83), or maybe the
Lions are cranky enough at Fontes.  You never know.  What WOULD be 
hilarious would be Reeves chucked it all and took over a WLAF team when 
they get back into operation next year.

I can't believe that a Vikings fan, of all people, would want a "quick fix"
like this.  Didn't Herschel Walker teach you anything?  The Vikings would
have to give up the farm to get Montana, and he would play for one season
only, two if they were incredibly lucky.  Then, because the QB position was
neglected during that time, the Vikings would be even worse off.

Now you're really reaching.

>3.  Boomer Esiason

Oops, sorry, *now* you're really reaching.

>4.  Fran Tarkenton 

That's more like it.

Seriously, the QB I'm most afraid of Minnesota getting is Beuerlein, partly
because I don't want to see a quality QB go to another NFC team, but mostly
because I don't want him to leave Dallas.  He's going to, though.  I can
think of several up-and-coming teams that could use him.

Yeah, right.  And Troy Aikman is the next Joe Montana.

We're never going to get meaningful career stats from Young due to
his age, but comparing him to a scrub like Danny White is absurd.
Since I know that Gordon isn't quite that ignorant as a football fan,
I expect he doesn't believe this himself, and merely posted it to get
a rise out of John Gloria et al.  Gordon's probably giggling to himself
even as we speak.

Too bad those giggles will turn to whimpers in the coming weeks.
