Didn't ask them to.

Same kinda talk I heard around here after the Giants whumped the 9ers
49-3.  All teams talk that way.

No silence.  The last time the Cowboys beat the 9ers was in 1980. Score 
59 - 14.

Never said you did.  I was refering to the excu... ahem the reasons being
given for the 9ers missing the playoff this year.  I believe the standard 
excu.. uh reason now is because Montana wasn't there to roll right ...  I
mean, they practice that play all the time, and they have such great
success with it, and no one can stop it, and it's such a high percentage
play...

Yes, I think i remember that.  I also predicted last year that the 9ers
wouldn't even make the playoffs this year (1991).

Yeah, start Bono at defensive tackle.  What a laugh.

That statement was also never typed in by me.  In your own words, "I defy
you to quote me ever" saying that.

Before you read that other story you might want to learn some reading
comprehension.  I said you were *accusing me* of sour grapes.

Yes, I'm sorry but I didn't tape the live interview done with Montana
in the locker room shortly after the game.

Nonsense.  You really do need that reading comprehension course.

Thanks, but if you look under the definition of "polysyllabic" you find the
word "multisyllabic", and vice-versa.

Not bad.  I give it a 7.5 - it's a little crude, but nice timing.
