You are largely correct.  I'll get to the Niners/Eagles later.  The
biggest Niner game of the year is looming.  Gotta worry about the
awesome Saints D first.

Having been born and raised in the Dallas area, this thought almost
sickens me.  There is no reason to enclose the stadium, beyond being
able to outmatch the Cotton Bowl, which has repeatedly underbid Texas
Stadium for concerts and the like.  I despise domed stadiums.  I will
take all of this back if they are planning on building a retractable
dome (such as Toronto's), but I doubt they are going to spend that
much dough.

Exactly which portion of the year can he not book it?  If he were to
lower the rent, people would definitely choose the Stadium over the
Cotton Bowl, because access is better, and there's so much more
parking (and less crime).  I hope that concerts and the like keep
playing at the Cotton Bowl (although I hear that U2 played Texas
Stadium this past summer).

Domed stadiums - bad for football, bad for you (unless you live in
MSP).

It was Jeff Burger and it was 1986.  It was the same year that Reggie
Cobb spent the entire second half on the bench trying to remember why
he couldn't see straight.  Of course the reason was he was leveled by
Carlo Cheatom (a 180 lb. defensive back) on a screen pass.  I remember
a sign in the Tennessee end zone at the game:

games starting this coming week.  This means he must have failed a previous

The next failure would result in the "lifetime ban," which can, of course, be

Seems to me that Ditka basically proved the point (although there may be
more to it than this brief summary shows).  Ditka is far too sensitive
to this sort of thing.  If you can't stand the heat, Mike...

Ditka has flown off the handle at fans before.  I still remember the
famous "chewing-gum-in-the-face" episode at Candlestick.  Sure, fans can
be obnoxious, but the other coaches in the league seem to be able to
handle incidents with a lot more couth and maturity than Ditka does.

OTOH, His record with the Bears kinda makes up for a lot of his BS, but
that record has been slipping lately.

	This past weekend's impressive performance by the NFC East
prompted me to compile the following stats:

Week 10 scoring:	NFC East  131
			Opponents  37

	For the season, the NFC East is now 17-6 against all other
teams in the NFL (Phoenix and New York account for 5 of the losses
and 5 of the wins, so Dallas, Philly and Washington are 12-1 against
everyone else, with the 1 loss being Philly's loss to the Chiefs, if
I have my numbers right).

	Pity the AFC West this year, matched up with the NFC East,
but a couple of games may help to reverse this trend in the coming
week as the Giants visit Denver and the Skins visit K.C.

I believe he will definitely play next week.
If he is going to play this week, they will 
probably not make a decision until Saturday
or Sunday. Bummer, huh. Guess all you FFL'ers

In the case of Giants Stadium, there is no reason why the turf must be

Well, it's good to see Lewis finally get his chance, and Richard Fain also
(he was very impressive when I saw him in Platteville) - Lem Stinson has 
never really returned to form since his knee injury a while back.

But Mark Carrier is a surprise - maybe Ditka just wants to shake everyone
else up by showing he's even willing to bench a *Pro Bowler* - it wouldn't
surprise me!!  But Ditka can do whatever he likes as long as it WORKS -
I don't think I can handle 4-6 and especially not after playing the Bucs!

As a Denver Bronco fan(to put it mildly) living in Boynton Beach, I find it very
difficult to follow my beloved Broncos.  The Dolphins dominate the local press and
the small (very!!!) information I get is despitable.  Player moves, I get late or not
at all.  My parents still live in Denver and I get the Sunday Denver Post on Friday or
Saturday of the following week, but that's not enough.  When I was in other cities,
I usually could get Radio 85 KOA, the voice of the Broncos on radio.

The thing that pisses me off the most is when you have a blow out and they switch you
to another game.  I really hate that!!!!!! (I was watching that)   A good example of
this was the Philly/Denver game this year, at halftime the game was switched.
