There was a scheduled event called the Rapture on Oct. 28.  This, according
to some Korean rip-off church (not Moon's), was when Christ would return to
earth and infuse His believers with Rapture.  Maybe this has something to
do with Randall's performance on Nov. 1....or maybe not.

Or not play, depending on what quarter he gets injured in.

	For a fumble, I think this is true, but if a pass is intercepted, and

News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.41

I was wondering if anyone knows who the last man to rush for 2,000 yards was?
I think it was Dickerson but i'm not sure. The reason i'm asking is that at
Emmitt Smith's present pace he has a pretty good chance of reaching that mark.
After having played 8 games Emmitt has 896 yards rushing and has played against
the Eagles twice, Kansas City, and Washington, just to name a few good defenses.
With the teams that Dallas has left on it's schedule it is very likely that
Emmitt could rush for 1,000 + yards in the next 8 games. He is without a doubt
the best running back playing this year.

   ps.  Despite the sarcasm, Bill, you were right -- Emmitt is king stud #1. :^)

Ouch... Don't remind me.  Hey, the Cowboys are real fun to watch (except last
week).  But personally, I'm hoping Lincoln Kennedy and maybe a high #2 at
guard can help move Emmitt down the list a bit next year.  Not far, just a
notch so that Barry Sanders can step back up, and I'd be very happy.

This whole situation just reaks of the same stank the Browns experienced
back in 90.  The common denominator being a quick signing of a seasoned
veteran at a higher rate than the teams loyal players.  For the Browns,
it was Raymond Clayborn.  The discontent was deep and devestating to the
whole Browns organization.  The entire defense held out and the season from
HELL followed.  The Oilers' acquisition of Webster Slaughter seems to
be the same scenerio.  All the Oiler loyal have to fight for every penny,
yet the organization forks out big bucks for some new comer.  The
veterans are pissed off and don't perform up to potential.  Then it's
the coaches fault!  a.k.a.  Bud Carson.
Sorry Houston.  You think it's bad now, wait til the off-season!!!

I attended the Phoenix/Philly game and although the defense was great
the offense was nothing less than anemic.  I still can't figure out
why the Cards didn't try a pass or rollout on the 5th or 6th try at 
the goal line?

If Cunningham does not get the offense rolling in the first half then
I think they should put in McMahon.  This way Kotite will have kept
his word by stating Cunningham will start. It's up to Randall this
week.  Poor guy will also be haunted by the Green Bay game from last
year.

Drugs are not stupid, it's the people using/doing the drugs

guys are totally stupid. They are willing to ruin their

	[ ... ]

I didn't see the game, so I'm basing everything below on
yesterday's Clarinews reports and this morning's USA Today.

First the bad news:

Buckley fumbled another punt.  Green Bay leads the NFL in fumbles,
and the NFC in fumbles lost.

McJulien had another punt blocked.  What happened?

Sharpe was the only WR with a catch, though Brooks had a 6 yard
run.

Green Bay was within 6 with just under 4 minutes left in the Game
when Favre threw an interception which Reyna Thompson returned for
a 69 yard TD.  The Giants next score was also of a Favre
interception.  Until this game Favre had only thrown 3
interceptions; against the Giants he threw 3.  Clarinews reports
that he got one back by stripping the interceptor, though; little
things like this will keep me cheering for Favre.

Now the good news:

The Bears lost.

Sharpe, J. Harris, and Workman all had productive games.

The OL allowed only one sack.  This was with Winters (I think)
starting in Moran's place.

The defense got 3 sacks:  2.5 for Bennett, .5 for Koonce.

The Giants didn't put up big numbers either running or passing.
It looks like the Packer defense had a pretty good game.  All but
3 of the Giants' points came on turnovers or the blocked punt.

The Bengals beat the Bears; since GB has already beaten the
Bengals this year, there's no way the Bears can beat GB again this
year.  It'd be inconceivable.  Detroit and Tampa Bay also lost,
keeping GB in the thick of the wildcard chase.  Really.

The Oilers lost too.  Maybe if we can convince John Heim to cheer
for the Eagles next week...

And back in Landry's days, he hedged between Staubach and Morton.  Even
considered, or did, [I forget which], changing quaterbacks on every play.
Reason given was that the incoming quarterback would the play directly from
Landry.  Fortunately for the Cowboys, Landry saw the light, made a decision,
and the rest is history - great history for the Cowboys.

Hi there
There have been indications/rumors that LT may be back
if Bill comes back to coach NYG. IMHO it would be a bad move
for both himself and the Giants . I think that he has had
a great career and he should not subject himself to
more serious injuries when he carved a niche for himself
already . Also the NY Giants definitely have to rebuild
if they want to WIN THE SB in a few years and not just 
be content with a playoff berth now. It will be something
like the Lakers (though not exactly) and the Bears now.
You have to make some hard decisions (hard b'coz these
guys brought you success in the past) and prepare a young
team. Also Bill has had some heart problems and I dunno
how will take the stress of a NFL season.
But I think Bill and Lawrence are shrewd enuff to make
the right decision (Right according to them)

If LT doesn't come back :
"See ya LT " You had a great career.
Bye ,
