  Yes, there is a Santa Claus, Bears fans. Chicago beat up on Pittsburgh
  30-6 in Mike Singletary's finale at Soldier Field.  The defensed stopped
  Barry Foster and the secondary did well also (although the Steelers' WR's
  dropped a lot of passes).  Plus the Bears actually had an effective pass
  rush.  The Bears' special teams played great, with a big runback by
  Donnell Wolford on a punt return and a blocked punt by Mark Green.  The
  running game showed a pulse; Neal Anderson had a good game rushing.  All
  in all it was a great performance by the Bears.

[Lots of arguing between Meeks and Lor deleted]

Boy, and to think that I thought I was safe from the Meeks-Lor war here in
the friendly confines of r.s.f.p. :-)

Actually, in a twisted way, I have sort of enjoyed this flame war, especially
some of the stuff on r.s.f.c.  There have been times when some of the 
responses (and threats) have provoked genuine laughter.  I especially liked
the one that included accusations of Meeks threatening to contact other
netters' postmasters when he is losing an argument, and I think I even   
remember one offer to post a letter sent by Mr. Meeks that would expose said
threats.  I don't know how much truth there is to any of this stuff, but it
has been kind of fun (and I guess it would be kind of funny to see that 
letter if it does exist).

Anyway, you guys have had one of the longest flame wars I've seen, and I have
to say, if nothing else, your both pretty dedicated, or stubborn. :-)

The only person I've seen so far comparing Aikman to Montana, Roger S.,
Unitas is YOU.  I've never said Aikman was the greatest quarterback in
the league.  I would say this, he is the most consistent.  

>not realize this or admit it. You are too consumed by your false

What is it you want me to admit ?  Aikman is not the greatest quarterback
to ever play.  Was it Aikmans fault that he drove to the 38 yard line when
time was running out and got sacked by a guy who was never even touched ?
That wasn't Aikman's fault.  It was, however, Aikman's fault that he
fumbled in the end zone.  However, it was the cumulative mistakes of
Aikman, Emmit, and Irvin that cost the Cowboys the game.

I don't think Bugel belongs in this class.  Handley inherited a good (not

Kotite is Kotite.  Bugel inherited a merdiocre team and has them on the way
up (any team that can beat the Skins and the Niners are definitely on the

Slight correction.  Ditka put Thomas in.  The offensive line coach put 
Louis Age in 2 plays later.  DITKA yelled at Thomas first to ask why he was 
out of the game.  THOMAS then told him to do a few physically impossible things
They later kissed and made up on camera when Thomas sprung Neal Anderson
for a touchdown.(YES I know its hard to believe but Thomas did something 
good -  Maybe there is a Santa Claus).

The latest flurry of reference to "Niner fans" as one unit is not well
received by Niner fans (note...no quotes).  While the recent past has seen
r.s.f.p. flooded with rantings of what appear to be bandwagon
"Niner fans", there are also Niner fans who post intelligent/insightful
commentary worthy of the time invested in perusal.  These are the mature
Niner fans who most likely remember what Niner fandom was like before 1981
(and after the Brodie era).  None of these Niner fans should be accused of
Caps Lock obsession/fantasy or predictions of 55-7 Niner victories.

That said, I still think some woofing (be it ignorant or intelligent) is part
of what makes American sports (and particularly NFL football) such a consum-
ing pasttime.    (allright...IMHO)

Global criticism almost always is inaccurate at some point...

What?  A drive?  Let's see?  Washington intercepted a ball on their goal line 
and the defense advanced it to the Dallas 40, and the offense couldn't even get
7 out of it?  Their only offensive touchdown was a "trick" play, and surely not
representative of their offensive output.  If I were a Redskin fan (heaven
forbid), I wouldn't want to rely on Rypien to get the ball in the endzone after
not having been able to do it ALL day.  Let's see.  Washington's defense scored
a touchdown on a controversial play, and set up the pitiful (<== now I'm
playing devil's advocate) Washington offense for a FG, and their running back
throws a TD pass.  Let's see, that accounts for 17 of their 20 points.  Wow,
what a great QB Rypien was on Sunday... (and honestly, what were you thinking
about Aikman when he threw two or three straight completions and then next

Currently, there are four referees on the field. Wouldn't additional 
referees help?  How about six referees; there could be two referees
behind the defensive linemen to cover passes, and two behind the offensive 
linemen to cover both sides of the quarterback.  This is in addition to
the usual two refs on the line of scrimmage.

1) Aikman admitted that he pulled the ball back when he saw Darrell Green
   step in front of Irvin.  It was a fumble, no question whatsoever.

2) I was concerned about Smith's knee being down.  But if you look at the
   play in real time, you realize that he never POSESSED the ball.  He
   scooped and fumbled all at once so that he would not be ruled down.  He
   was trying to pull a Raider!  Because of that I think that the refs made
   the correct call.

I admit it.  The Cowboys outplayed the Redskins for most of the game.
It even looked like they played well enough to win in the 4th quarter.
The Redskins seem to have caught a break (from the Cowboys, not the refs!)
in the same manner as the Cowboys always used to get at Texas Stadium all
those years!

Like the final game of the '79 season...  'Skins up by 13 (a dangerous
number when _oger _taubach was in the game!) and driving for the icing in
the 4th quarter.  Riggins fumbles on the 30.  RS brings 'em back.  But wait
Joe Theismann gets the 'Skins into Mosley's range with 3 seconds left!
He calls timeout! 2... 1... THE REF DOESN'T SEE HIM (even though he's
standing right in front of him.)  If the Redskins win, they win the
division, if they lose, they don't even get a wildcard!  Time expires
and Mosley never gets to try.

Wow!  Talk about having to get something off one's chest...
Hey does anybody know what really happend in that game?  I'm sure that
the 'Skins had a timeout left.  Is anybody old enough to remember it?
(I think that it was George Allen's last season with the 'Skins...)
