EV, I tried to tell you this, but I suspect you didn't think a girl
from Albuturkey knew a thing about football.  I guess I should have told
you that when I was just a tot, my daddy raised me in the land where great
football was born -- Pittsburgh.
 
The Cowboys are ascending, EV.  Take heart, but they are not the best in
the league.  I warned you guys two weeks ago that I thought Philly may
be going to the Super Bowl if Randall and others could stay healthy.  Did
you listen to me?  Nooooooo.  And what happens?  You're crushed.
 
And now for other football pearls of wisdom from this student of the
game:
 
	IMHO, to win the Super Bowl, a team MUST have a GREAT defense
        and a good offense.  Period.  Therefore,
 
1.  Sorry Wicked Wix, SF doesn't stand a chance.  They have a lousy defense
    as witnessed by the fact that they let the Rams score so many points.
    They traded away their defense (sob, Ronnie Lott) and they are now
    paying for it.
 
2.  Who wants to see Buffalo go again?  They haven't changed a thing and
    so they'd lose again.  It was great to watch Miami win.  Bruce Smith
    aside, Miami has a better defense.  Besides, Marino's time may have come.
 
3.  Washington -- excuse me while I quit giggling about their loss to
    Phoenix.  That was too much.  The true test will come when they play
    Philly.
 
4.  You Denver fans, wipe those grins off your faces.  Denver did not beat
    KC.  KC beat KC.  The last two minutes of that game were so poorly
    played that a YAFL team could have beat them.  As for Denver, KC had
    to give the ball to Elway on the 27 before Elway could score.  That's
    nothing to write home about.  And need I remind you that Denver didn't
    score a point against Philly.  Dallas got a touchdown at least.
 
5.  Glanville and Mora -- ho hum.
 
6.  Dick-uh showed us all why he is the worst coach in the league with
    his remarks regarding the audible.  It was 20-7 at that point.  If
    your team can't hold a fourteen point lead over a quarter, then they
    don't deserve to win.  His remarks to and about Harbaugh could threaten
    the success of their team for the rest of the season.
 
7.  Vikings -- Hmmmmmm.  I don't think they are in the same league as
    Philadelphia, Miami and maybe Washington (if they get their sh&t
    together).  Besides, I think they are a classless organization in
    the way that they badmouthed Herschel and others while Walker has
    shown a lot of class over all of this.  Therefore, from a purely
    emotional point of view, I hope they get trampled.
 
8.  Raiders, Giants -- I like them but they don't stand a chance.
 
This information is given to you free of charge by someone who has
bet on the Super Bowl every year since 1972 and has lost only once.
That loss was caused by giving too many points not picking the wrong
team.
 
Now, what will I do in November when basketball gets going -- Go BULLS!!!
