You Viking fans are even more of a riot, you win one game, and whoopee!! The
Vikes are gonna go to the superbowl after all!!!  Maybe you should write to
Santa for an offense, the Vikings defense isn't going to teach the Packers a
thing, Houston had a good defense and a good offense, the Packers won.  A
defense is at a disadvante, no matter how good it is, the longer it stays on
the field.  The Packers are near the top of the league in time of possesion.
Look for a boring game until about the end of the third, or the start of the
fourth.  At that point a gasping, tired, DB for the Vikings will watch Sterling
Sharpe blow by him and into the endzone for a TD.  Further, a lot of the
Vikings points have been defensive, tell you what, the Packers haven't been
making a lot of offensive mistakes.  If anyone runs an interception back for a
TD it will be Buckley.

   You've gotta be kidding.  Special teams perhaps, but if you read the  
   more-or-less accurate ravings on Deion being overrated elsewhere on the net,  
   there's no way in hell he should've garnered the respect from his teammates  
   given his universal dislike.  I've heard some teams pick on his side  
   specifically to get him flustered 'cause he's no professional.

   I *have* seen him make some pretty impressive tackles on punt coverages, though  
   (early in the season).


If his fellow players hate him so much, and still vote him to the pro-bowl, I
don't think you could make a stronger case that he is *not* overrated.  I
think its pretty clear that most nfl players would agree that you have him
greatly underrated.

Hmm, the Redskins have been to 5 Super Bowls and have failed to make
the playoffs the following year only once (though admittedly they are
fortunate to make the playoffs this year).  There is a trend for the
Super Bowl champion to fall off considerably the following year, but
it is not specific to the Redskins.  I don't have exact numbers, but
I'd wager that since 1980 or so the defending Super Bowl champion has
failed to make the playoffs more than half the time.

So in some sense the Redskins have played like a defending Super Bowl
champ this year...

They are both the only 0-4 team to have a winning record and the only 0-4

I've been a Steeler fan all my life. I know they didn't reach the Super Bowl
until January, 1974. What I meant was that the 'Immaculate Reception' gave
the Steelers their first ever platoff win. It marked the beginning of their
eminent success as a franchise.

Actually, judging from their respective teams' performances with and 
without them, the true MVP would have to be either Elway or O'Donnell.

And, while it's true that the Niners wouldn't take much of a tumble
if Young got hurt, his getting the award would be consistent with
the way that it's usually given out.  If I had to put money on it, 
I'd bet:

#1	Young (by a pretty big margin)
#2	Foster (of the Steelers)
#3	Smith

Given how flat the Steelers have gone, with Foster but without O'Donnell,
he isn't as truly valuable in the clinical sense as Elway or O'Donnell.

If the Niners go all the way, and even if they don't, naming Young the MVP
will hardly be a major miscarriage of justice.

But if you don't think it's right, get yourself appointed commissioner
and do something about it!

The Bills did win in Miami, Miami finished 11-5 (not 10-6 as I predicted),
but got the title anyways. Now, was I that far off? I think not.

to Green Bay Bob:

I am sorry that you misunderstood the nature of my post.  When I said that you
were cocksure and obnoxious, I meant it in a good way, all in fun.  I really
enjoyed our phone conversation that evening.  There would be less fighting,
name calling and flaming among fans if they really got to know each other in
person before shooting off their big mouths.  My comments to you after the
game were all in fun, as i'm sure that yours would have been had the Pack won.

Here's to the start of a good (and friendly) Rochester rivalry. I am looking
forward to meeting you in person.

                                               Chad
