Maybe, but it sure is nice being able to start every season
with a decent shot at getting into the Super Bowl. So much young
talent!  Not enough roster spots.

>How can you post an easy schedule, and claim it's hard??

Obviously you really don't know a whole lot about football do
you? Its becoming quite obvious!
After studying the schedules of a few other teams, I withdraw my
comment on the 49ers having the toughest schedule.  But I will stick
by my guns and say that they have one of the toughest schedules.

>How can your team not make the playoffs, and you claim
>greatness??

First time in almost 10 years they don't make the playoffs. Well
hell, all streaks have to come to an end at some time.  Just knowing
that they were one of the best teams at the end of regular season
last year is good enough for me.

>Maybe when S.F. misses the playoffs ten years in a row,
>you'll realize the reign is over.

I hardly think so!  SF miss the playoffs 10 years in a row?  If it
ever happens, it won't be for quite awhile.
I don't think that it would take missing the playoffs ten years
in a row for me to consider that the Niner dynasty was over.

>How can you call losing Lott a suprise, if he was left unprotected?
>Get off the drugs!

It was a surprise that he was left unprotected. It was a surprise
with the way the organization treated him. It was a surprise that we
started last year without Lott being in the secondary. After 10
years of seeing o'l number 42 trot out onto the field, you kind of
get accustomed to seeing it if you know what I mean.

Heh baby! The only drugs I'm on are the drugs of love! :->

>They beat a dead Giants team, BIG DEAL.
>BIG DEAL.

Its not so much that they beat the Giants. Its that they played an
excellent game considering that it was their first game of the
regular season. The 49ers are notorious for coming out and playing
sloppy football for the first few games of the season. There was
some sloppiness in that game, but not as much as expected.

>I suppose if they finished 1-15 and won the last game, you would

Now that you bring it up, who does care about this drivel that seems

I gotta say I think the taunting rule is for wimps... you've got huge guys 
out there putting each other in the hospital and a ref penalizes someone 
for playing like a cowboy with his 6 shooters?  From Ali to the early Bobby 
Fischer, they recognized that the game is not a sterile exhibition but one 
inwhich you try, in Fischer's words, "crush his ego." When you've done 
that, the rest will follow. These sports are mental too and if you can 
distract your opponent, that's part of the game.

Has anyone notice that when CBS covers a game, the picture is real  clear
crisp and the focus is really zoomed in there. (the players fill up the screen)

When NBC shows games, the players look alot smaller and more of the field is
shown.

Personally, I like the CBS broadcasts better, they seem higher quality than
NBC.  WHen watching NBC, I feel like I'm seeing the same thing as people int
the stands.  CBS looks like you're viewing it from the players' bench.

(I know i repeated the idea repeatedly :) )

That has certainly befuddled me as well.  In listening to Mr. Davis's
recent ESPN Sunday night interview, he seems to be loyal to players who
are likewise loyal.  Perhaps Mr. Davis's loyalty is too strong to see
the obvious, at least from the fans point of view.  The verdict is still
out on Marinovich's super star status and I think that Mr. Davis has yet
to be convinced that Todd can take over.

I've come to accept the word "woofing" as NET jargon for loudly proclaiming   
the superiority of one's team.  I also do my share of the kind of "woofing"
that Mr. Gloria is talking about when I'm watching the Vikes kick butt.
There's just no way that I can get on the NET and "woof" about this Vikings
squad.  Far be it from me to discourage other enthusiastic ( naive :) )
Vikes fans from "woofing" on the NET.  I just feel the need to let our
brethren in Packer country, and Bear country, and Lion country, know that
some of us Vikes fans think that these Vikings still need to show us that
they are not the same old Vikings of recent memory. Here's hoping that
the team shows us that at the expense of the Packers, and Bears, and Lions.

I've never heard of one team raiding another's developmental squad.  Perhaps
there's some sort of gentlemen's agreement in operation here.  But
there is nothing to prevent it.  If some team "develops" an urgent

Sorry about the previous blank message....


I know that Joe Gibbs, Coach of the Washington Redskins is a very religious
fundamentalist Xian. It also seems to me that there are more Fund. Xians
on the redskins than every other team in the league.

I know that some of this may be from the fact that the Redskins stay away
from "disruptive" players and trade the ones they have (Manley). But
it still seems like every time they interview a Redksin he is thanking
Jesus Christ for helping him.

I know that there are teams with fewer Fund. Xians on them (Houston?), but
are the Redskins that far out of line in terms of numbers?

The Cowboys coaches were a little frustrated by the media calling it a poor
outing by Aikman.  This was the result of a rather simplistic scheme for 
evaluating his performance: pass velocity.   Norv Turner said
that he thought it was one of Aikman's best outings due to all the other
aspects of his play.  He specifically mentioned stepping up in the pocket.
