I don't know about this. Rice is old Rison is young and putting up the
numbers then there is Drew Hill of the Former Fab Five.  Tony 
Warp Speed Jones another Member.. Plus they had a good deep threat from
last year.

Here again give edge to Falcons.  Prime Time and Mcyer. Not to mention
Pickens. Glanville's team is going to beat you through the air and
make you go on the ground trough a eight man front.  Who cares if 
they aren't eight super stars its still Eight people you have to
run over.  If you can beat Prime Time deep go ahead.  This style
plays write into the Forty Niners.  Glanville has designed the anti
Niners.  Can you say SWEEP.  Look at the turmoil he caused in AFC
CENTRAL... Houston Finally on top The Rest of the coaches gone.
I think Walsh ran from Glanville heard he was coming to town.

  Right take Pathetic Falcons to playoffs in 2 years sounds disruptive to
me.

I say they will keep on winning baby.  Saints need offense.. Falcons have
the weapons if they can swing Herschel Walker some how... See Run and Shoot
is a little different than other offensenses you don't need a great OL

and when you have great DBs you don't need a great DL or LBs.  Just send.
7 or 8 in every play and say beat my 3 or 4 all stars or pay the price
with a HIT.  TO LEGIT TO QUIT baby!!! I love Glanville...

I was wondering...Does anyone in Pittsburgh really want Brister?  I mean
I go to West Virginia University and there are a lot of Steeler fans around
here and most that I have seen favor O'Donnell and I favor Neil as well (course
I may be slightly biased as he is a Maryland QB and I am from Annapolis).
I am sure O'Donnell has more potential than Brister but who is actually favored
by most Pittsburgh fans?  1 local Steeler maniac supports Brister almost
violently but outside him i never saw anyyone cheering for Bubby to come back.
Comments?

I'm not a Giants fan, but I will talk about the best team in football.
I think the Redskins should have a good year-after season.  They should
have a good chance at a SB repeat before all their veterans retire.
I think Rypien still has to go a tad further before he becomes a solid
NFL top-flight QB...like prove that his spectacular season isn't just do to
having 5 years to throw each pass.  If that happens, Ervins gets the go ahaead
and does not disappoint then there is the OL.  I do not expect e letdown from
them, but it woold be ridiculous to expect as good a season as they had last
year.  all and all the Skins look good fro the upcoming year.
Brin Mulholland
PS isn't it a bit silly to call the Giants the best team after an 8-8 season.
PPS isn't it even sillier to do a thing like that ^ on a net group like this?

That's why he's a Hall of Fame QB and you're spouting over the net
like the rest of us Monday morning QBs.  To be honest, I'm a little
worried about Joe myself this year 'cause there's no doubt opposing
rushers will be coming at him HARD (which is why the '9ers *really*
need a good RB).  But Joe is obviously not cut from the same cloth as
the rest of us - witness his comeback from supposedly career-ending
back surgery in '86.  He came back the *same season* - and threw
3 TDs in his first game back.  Then he went on to surpass his already
great career in the '87 - '89 seasons.

It may take a Theisman-type injury to get Joe to hang up the spikes
for good.  Not a pretty thought, but that's the kind of guts it takes
to do what he has done.

Sorry, I can't believe it.  Oh, Miami might give up their two first
round picks, and maybe even throw in Slippery Sammie Smith, but a pro
bowler?  Miami doesn't have that many and they can't afford to lose
any of them - in fact, the only place on the whole team that they can
afford a trade is at safety, where they have Louis Oliver, Jarvis
Williams and Bobby Harden.  Do the Dolts need safeties?

Lets not exagerate.  He was an adequate to good, maybe even excellent pass-
catching TE but he doesn't have the route running skills of a Novacek or
the blocking skills of a Don Warren.  This is why he was given up.
I do not believe he will rack up #'s because Detroit is looking for a 
blocking TE for Barry Sanders, not a novacek or Newsome.  I believe for
what they are looking for, they made a bad decision.

Last week, Bobby Humphrey came into Miami for a physical.  The Fins

He would be a serious threat in the backfield along with an already potent

Along with two possible impact defensive first-round draft picks, the would
