Subject: Re: Dallas was beaten by bad luck, not the eagles!

Bad luck?  Did you see the graphic the displayed during the game?
Aikman has only had *4* games where he's thrown 3 or more
interceptions.  *3* of those games have been against the Eagles.  Boy
those Eagles must be a lucky bunch, not good defensive play or
anything like that.  They must have gotten really lucky last year when
they had the best defense.  

Oh, btw Dallas got 1 of the biggest breaks of all:  the ref made a
mistake on their 2nd possession (and should have been their 2nd
turnover) and didn't award the ball to the eagles after Smith's
fumble.  Please don't tell us the Eagles got lucky.  When a defense
gets lucky every week, perhaps something else is the cause.

I, too, am not overly fond the Johnmeister, but by the time Reeves
yanked him out, I was actually feeling sorry for him...if Dan had left
him in any longer, Elway would have had to unzip his fly to see where
he was going!  I can only recall a couple of times that he actually
dropped back and wasn't touched...and one of these times he was so sure
he was gonna get creamed that missed an easy pass to a wide open
receiver.

Might wanna woof a little earlier, Adriene...the Gia's will be battling
the 'skins at RFK for an evening game November 1st!  Me thinks that
Washington will find New York's offensive line to be a bit more
resilient than that girly-man line from Denver...and with the one two
punch of Hampton & Bunch along with Hoss at the controls, you can bet
that this game will be a whole lot closer than 34-3!!  Meanwhile, let's

Exactly what point did Herschel get across to Dallas?  That he is a
good running back?  I am sure the Cowboys already knew that and I am
sure that when they traded him they did not think he was a washup;
however the trade got them so many things that they went from 1-15 to
being hyped as a SB contender this year.

Subject: How To Change Data Files In APBA Pro Basketball (or Football)
Date: 8 Oct 92 12:57:17 GMT
Organization: Purdue University Computing Center

Hello,

     I recently ordered the APBA Pro Basketball Game for my IBM PS/2 and I
was wondering how it was possible to change the player data files.  I was
told that the data files cannot be changed within the game itself, but they
are hackable.  The reason why I'm posting in r.s.f.p is because I believe
that APBA also has a pro football game which has (somewhat) similar data
files.  I originally posted this in rec.sport.basketball.pro but it seemed that
no one knew how to hack the files.
     If anyone owns either APBA game and knows how, send me mail.  Thanks!

I agree he's had dick for an o. line.  You're telling me Elway's had the 
Hogs?  Not exactly.  But he does have feet.  Unlike Krieg.

>The Chiefs have been a Super Bowl quarterback away from the Super Bowl, and 
>now they have one. 

<Snort!> Please.  Krieg is NOT a Super Bowl quarterback.  Two reasons.

1) He is the streakiest son of a bitch I have ever seen in my life.  When he's
   hot, he's magma.  I mean, a hot Dave Krieg blows Joe Montana out of the 
   water in a most unpleasant way.  But when he's cold he SUCKS ROCKS.  I mean,
   a cold Dave Krieg makes Brad Goebel look like Terry Bradshaw.

2) When the shit hits the fan, Krieg usually goes cold.  He is not a "come from
   behind" quarterback.  With all the explosive offenses of NFC contenders   
   (Dallas, Philadelphia, San Fran, etc.) he would most likely have to come
   from behind in the Superbowl.

(Yes, I am aware of yesterday's game.  No, I do not think it will happen that 
 way twice.)

I disagree with you John.  The three games that Favre has started, he's shown
that he is head and shoulders above Majkowski {I refuse to use his nickname}.
He's been less than a sub-par quarterback since '89.  Too many fumbles.  More
interceptions than TD's.  Badly missing wide open receivers.  I don't know
if we can blame this on injuries, or if '89 was just a fluke.

And you can call me a silly, optimistic Packer fan if you want, but I don't 
think you should write their season off yet.  They're 2-3, and with the dozens
of wild cards the league is passing out nowadays, 9-7 may be good enough for
a playoff berth.

I'm glad (and quite surprised) to see the Browns with 2 wins after
Kosar's injury, but boy are they winning ugly!  I'm pretty sure
they've been beaten in first downs, passing yards, and running yards
in every game.  Anyway, if Tomczak can beat the Pack (he probably
knows them better than the Browns), maybe he's Bernie's backup for the
next couple years--or, until the heir apparent gets drafted.

On the other hand, is Tomczak really better than Goebel?  Maybe we'll
find out next summer, if they both show up to fight for the number 2
QB job.

I think that the Colts will be a really good team in three or four years,
but they have to build an offensive line.  George is so tough because a
QB would have to be if he is playing behind an offensive line that lets
him get knocked down 100+ times a game...He takes a real beating back 
there, and if the Colts front office doesn't do something to get an 
offensive line soon, you could see Jeff George sprinkled in about 500
little pieces all over the turf.  

Coryatt and Emtman are going to be BIG TIME studs in the VERY near future.
I watched Coryatt every chane that I could get at A&M, and I think that 
he is truly going to be the next Mike Singletary...Someone has to be 
with him retiring and everyone else trying to be the next Lawrence Taylor.

I have to agree with John here. Young is much better at eluding tacklers
than Cunningham; he truly is a magician at it. Cunningham is probably
stronger than Young, which closes the gap a little bit, but overall Young
is much more dangerous in the open field. And, he is smarter, too. I
can't think of too many times where I've seen Young decide to run and
*NOT* accomplish what he expected to do, which is usually to pick up
a first down. Rarely does his decision to tuck it in and run with it
backfire.

Well, O.K...the worst part of this meal is that if (oh,no...not that
"if" word again) Collins had snagged that interception (which he SHOULD
have had), the final score could easily have been GIANTS 17  raiders
6...maybe even raiders 3!  Collins got burned during the next series
(he was probably still muttering over his missed opportunity) which set
up the Raider's final field goal.  And as soon as Handley can figure
out how to put together two good halves of football, we might win a few
this year...otherwise, move over Pheonix (and Washington?...heh!). 
Speaking of Pheonix, come on Gia's, don't blow this one!

Aikman threw for 256-yards to be exact.  He completed 19-38 for one TD
and three INTs also.  Randall on the other hand, was 11-19 with one INT.
Aikman threw the ball twice as much so he should have had twice the
yardage.  All that tells me is that the Eagles had a more balanced attack.
The Birds added 160-yards on the ground while the Cowboys totaled 80-yards.

Ask Jimmy Johnson if he wanted Aikman throwing the ball 38-times.  His
answer will be no because the more you have to throw against the GANG
GREEN the better chance of them making BIG plays.  And that, old chap,
is, was, and always will be the Eagles defensive game plan.
