Organization: University of Pennsylvania

Hi,

In light of LT's season (and maybe career) ending injury on Sunday, here's
a quick summary of the influence that this Superman had on the GIANTS:

1981- LT is drafted 1st round out of North Carolina by the GIANTS.  In his
   	rookie year he has 94 tackles, 39 assists and 9.5 sacks. He is voted
	to his first Pro Bowl. More importantly, for the first time since the
	AFL-NFL merger and without any sort of offense whatsoever, the GIANTS
	make it to the playoffs where they are defeated by eventual SB 
	champions SF.
1982- Strike year. LT has 32 tackles, 23 assists and 7.5 sacks. Second Pro Bowl
1983- Ray Perkins (GIANTS head coach) leaves and is replaced on the spur of the
	moment by a then unknown defensive coordinator named Bill Parcells.
	Parcells, ironically, sits out Phil Simms as a starter. The GIANTS go
	3-13. LT has 88 tackles, 37 assists and 9 sacks on way to 3rd Pro Bowl.
1984- Parcells starts Simms as QB. LT has his best year (up to that point) with
	88 tackles, 26 assists and 11.5 sacks. GIANTS go 9-7 make playoffs but
	are beaten by eventual SB champion SF. LT's 4th Prol Bowl
1985- Monster year 83 tackles 21 assists and 13.5 sacks. GIANTS make playoffs
	and go pretty deep loosing to Da Bears (SB winners). 5th Pro Bowl.
1986- LT named Leagues MVP with 79 tackles, 26 assists and a monster 20.5 sacks
	GIANTS clinch division, decimate everything in their paths (beating
	SF by a score of 49-3) and crush the Denver Broncos in SB 21. Sixth
	Pro Bowl.
1987- Strike year. 7th Pro Bowl with 53 tackles, 9 assists and 12 sacks.
	During the strike, LT proves his versatility by playing both LB and
	tight end.
1988- 65 tackles, 8 assists and 15.5 sacks on way to 8th Pro Bowl. GIANTS tie
	for division with 10-6 record but do not make the play offs.
1989- 65 tackles, 18 assists and 15 sacks lead to 9th Pro Bowl. GIANTS win
	division but loose to LA Rams in OT during the playoffs.
1990- 64 tackles, 20 assists and 10.5 sacks. Tenth and final Pro Bowl. Lead
	the GIANTS defense on way to 2nd SB victory over Buffalo.
1991- Turmoil! His 2 closest friends Bill Parcells (who retires) and Phil
	Simms (who is benched) are taken from the spotlight.  LT has his
	worst year with 2 tackles, 15 assists and 7 sacks. Fails to make Pro
	Bowl for the first time in his career.
1992- Before injury, he had 35 tackles, 11 assists and 5 sacks and looked like
	he was about to end his career on a very positive note.

The Packers released DT Danny Noonan today and signed NT Alfred Olgesby
to replace him.  I believe the release of Noonan was due to the amount
of money he was making compared to what he was contributing to the team.
He wasn't horrible or anything but I really don't think he was any better
than Esero Tualo.  Yesterday the Packers released Punter Paul McJulien and
signed punter Bryan Wagner.

I wasn't implying that Pittsburgh doesn't have good recievers.
I meant nothing more that they might trade Green for a decent WR.
I agree that Graham, Mills and Stone are fine for the offense, and I
was also impressed with Davenport on Sunday. I look for Hoge to come
out of the backfield now that Green is benched. Let's hope Cooper stays
healthy!

Their remaining games against NFC teams will be a good gauge of where
they stand in the league.

Even though I'm a Bills fan, I'll have to agree with you. Marino definitely
qualifies as one of the best passing Qb's of all time. And yes, the team
around him has not been that great some years. If Marino had the offensive
weapons that Kelly has (Reed,Lofton,Thomas,Mckeller,etc.), he would have
every record by a longshot and then some. Yes, I am saying Marino is better
than Kelly overall. Kelly is too inconsistent, but when he's hot, he is
better than just about any QB currently playing the game. It's those off
days of his (like the one against Miami earlier this season) that hurt his
career record.
Anyway, can someone post some carrer stats of NFL QB's? They would surely be
interesting.

Like I said, ANY TEAM CAN LOSE. Apparently you cannot read.
READ MY TYPING..."Any team can lose." Therefore, all these 'Boyz
woofing is the perfect "classic" for losing the game they should
win. Yes, I do know, i.e., Cardinals beat the Niners. No big deal.
The Niners are still the team to beat at this point despite the
'Boyz most excellent performance to date. There will be mass
suicides in Tejas land if the 'Boyz choke at the end.

Please FOOTBALL GOD, curse the 'Boyz to the point that will slide
to oblivion before our eyes. YES! Thank you, thank you, thank you,
O 'GOD! :-)

I'm pretty sure it wasn't Stan.  In Stan's 1st AU-Tennessee game at Auburn,
the game ended in a tie.  Tennessee won last year.

It COULD have been Reggie Slack back in 1988, naaah, I still think it was
Jeff Burger (must have been 1986).

Joe Montana worked out at an undisclosed Bay Area location on Tuesday,
throwing about 75 passes to John Taylor and Wesley Walls.  After the
workout Montana said that he "felt great" and that there was absolutely
no pain. Reporters asked Wesley Walls how Montana looked, and his only
response was "How did he look? He had on a Toronto Blue Jays cap". And
of course the reporters got nothing out of John Taylor.

As for George Seifert, he continues to be sort of ho-hum about the whole
situation. He has no plans to put Montana on the practice squad anytime
soon, and continues to distance himself from the whole situation.

So, the saga continues. I expect that next week we will be reading that
Montana over-extended himself and that his elbow is sore again, but that
"he'll be throwing again in a couple of weeks."

(No need to respond with a series of "give-it-up-Joe-it's-over" posts;
we've all heard those already).

The Saints lost the Season opener to the Eagles...13-10
at Philadelphia Vet Stadium...a defence dominated game.

The second loss was at home at New-orleans to the 49ers
in yet another low scoring game...but they have then
reeled off continous vics from then on to be 7-2

Next week's game at Candlestick with the 9ers should be
the AFC-West decider.

	Actually, I think You're giving Ryp to much credit.  He really believes
he's that good.  The fact that he had hours to throw the ball, and a running
game that was feared, and gerat D and special teams never entered his mind. 
He's that stupid, not that clever.  :)

Ditto to all of the previous responses...

Being a Texas boy in California the last 10 or so years, I have taken a 
GREAT DEAL of verbal abuse (but all in good clean fun!) over my
die-hard loyalty to the Cowboys.

The year they were 1-15, I flew to Dallas to catch the last game of the
year on Chrismas Eve, arriving in 20-degree Dallas at 6AM! They lost
to the Packers, all of the pipes in Texas stadium froze and busted, 
and I froze my butt off, and HAD A GREAT TIME with ~60,000 other people!

While every time has more than there share of "fair weather" fans, I
believe you can look to teams like the Broncos, Steelers and yes, the
Cowboys, to fine true fans.

My friends now call to congratulate me (like I played the game! hah!) 
after each Cowboys victory, respecting me when I still rooted for the
team during their darkest years!

Go COWBOYS!  Woof!

I think the Oilers have to think of doing something drastic 
like going in for a change of the coaching staff. They are
a team that has a lot of talented players, but are just not
able to perform to their capabilities. They lack the 
motivation and the desire to win. They need something that 
will bring the back to life- and the best way to bring in 
a fresh attitude is to get a new coach pronto.

How can Buffalo be seventh!  They are a better team than the Saints,
Vikings, and Eagles.  The 49'ers are better than these teams too.
The Redskins are not better than the Bills.  Here is my top 10 from 
top 13.
 1) Cowboys
 2) 49'ers
 3) Buffalo
 4) Miami
 5) Vikings
 6) Saints
 7) Giants
 8) Redskins
 9) Steelers
10) Oilers

    The only reason I did not respond is that I'm already involved in 
another bet which involves me losing the right to post. If I lose that
bet I have lost the right, so THE BET III would have no meaning ( I wouldn't
be able to post until after the SB anyway). If I win, then I'm in. Unless
you want me in now, which I'm more then willing.

Kotite has already said on tv that no matter what happens (if the Eagles won
big or lost to the Raiders w McMahon), Cunningham WILL be back as the starting 
QB against GB.

Yes, I agree with you. Randall is THE man!! However, let him rest for a week 
(if that will bring him any good??) n for now, we just have to wait n see how
McMahon's gonna handle the job. Please..please...please.  WIN!!!
