I heard this morning on WDBO (Orlando AM station) that Michael Jackson
will be part of the halftime show.  On the bright, side this will help those
of us who have had too much to drink to purge the excess alcohol.

Okay, Ed and Dave... can you two take it to e-mail or something...
I will say this once, and hopefully make myself clear... SF was a
stronger team than Buffalo over the entire season  (actually, IMHO,
they, not Buffalo or Dallas, were the strongest team in the NFL this
season)... however, Buffalo was a stronger football team on that 
September afternoon at Candlestick.... Dallas was a stronger team 
last Sunday at the `Stick... 

We can argue all we want about whether Buffalo or Dallas is the better
football team, but all we really have to go on is past data...
what will decide the SB is who plays a better game on 31 January...

Does anyone know why Kelly is the starter? Is it because he can throw
the ball farther or harder. Reich has proven he an play and can win.
He doesn't throw those bonehead interceptions either. I agree with
other people who have said trade Kelly get draft choices and go with
Reich as the starter and Gillingham as the backup.

Since the SB is almost here, I thought this would be a good time for
some trivia questions regarding NFL championships.  All of the below
occurred after 1950.  (Questions about championship streaks in the
30's and 40's aren't all that meaningful because back then about four
teams dominated the league and took turns playing in and winning the
championship.)

1.  What team went to six consecutive NFL championships?

2.  What team went to five NFL championships in six years only to lose
    all of them?

3.  What team went to ten NFL/NFC championships in thirteen years?

4.  What team went to nine AFL/AFC championships in eleven years?

Make that 22 minutes. It appears that either NBC or the NFL has recognized
what a true distraction the half time is (perhaps after last year when CBS
lost market share to FOX and their half time party), and has decided to trim
it from like 34 minutes to 22 minutes. Michael Jackson's set will take a
mere 6 minutes to assemble and disassemble leaving him only 10 minutes to 
capture the attention of football fans worldwide. Personally, I'd rather see
the Simpsons halftime show from last year with the aliens playing guitar, etc.

I'm wondering why football's system differs from baseball and basketball.
Since when did teams decide to wear dark jerseys at home and white on the

     Trick question, eh.  Rod Martin has the most in one game (3), but

It's the Super Bowl time again.  Instead of everyone predicting which
team (and thus which conference) will win, it has become a game of
guessing NFC's victory margin.  At least, that's how I look at it, and 
r.s.f.p. seems to reflect this, too.

Any comment?

Here are the answers:

> 1. What RB has gained the more rushing yards in a Super Bowl (hint: it
>   ain't Roger Craig or John Riggins)?

	1. Timmy Smith (remember him?) with 204yds (Washington vs. Denver)
	2. Marcus Allen  191 yds (Raiders vs. Washington)
	3. John Riggins 166 yds (Washington vs. Miami)

> 2. Which DB or safety has had the most INTs in a Super Bowl?

Trick question (Mike Colburn got this right).  Rod Martin (Raiders) has the 
most INTs (3 vs. Philly) but he's a linebacker.  There's a tie with 2 each
	Brad Edwards (Washington vs. Buffalo), 
	Barry Wilburn (Washington vs. Denver)
	Jake Scott (Miami vs. Washinton) 
	Chuck Howley (Dallas vs. Baltimore) and
	Randy Beverly (Jets vs. Baltimore)

> 3. What QB has had the most accurate SB game (hint: you KNEW I had to throw
>   this one in)?

Sorry, had to throw this one in: Phil Simms 22-25 (88%) (Giants vs. Denver)

> 4. Which WR has gained the most yards in receptions in a SB?

	1. Jerry Rice (215 San Fran vs. Cincinnati)
	2. Ricky Sanders (193 Washington vs. Denver)

There's hoardes of them: Marv Fleming (GB and Miami), Preston Pearson (Dallas,
Baltimore and Pittsburgh), Waters, Wright, Cole and Harris from Dallas all
with 5 Super Bowls each.

> 6. Who has the longest gain from scrimmage in a Super Bowl game (includes
>   punt returns, kickoff returns and interceptions returned for a score)?

I was originally thinking of Stanford Jennings (93 yds. Cincy vs. San Fran) 
but it turns out I was wrong... the correct answer is Fulton Walker 
(98 yds. Miami vs. Washington)

> 7. Which team has LOST the most AFC Championship games?  NFC Championship 
>   games?

Pre AFL-NFL merger:
	Raiders have lost 8 
	Giants have lost 11.
Past-merger:
 	Raiders with 6
	L.A. Rams, San Francisco (including 1992) and Dallas with 5 each.

> 8. Who is the only QB to actually CATCH a pass in a Super Bowl?

John Elway caught a pass in the Washington vs. Denver game

The fact that Cowboy season tickets were WIDELY advertised on the Cowboy
Radio Network (KRLD?) and in the Dallas Morning News.  Radio commercials
featuring former Cowboy greats and Jerry Jones telling everyone to get
their tickets now because in a few years everyone will want them.  (Turns
out they were right, BTW.)

Yep, it is, and I never said differently.  But Dan wrote that "there are
great fans here" because there were 70,000 at a pep rally.  I am assuming
he meant the fans were "great" because that many would turn out for a pep
rally.  However, despite being one of the winningest % franchises in the NFL, 
Dallas couldn't get 65,024 fans to attend home games 3 years ago.  There is 
a word for that kind of fans, but "great" seems to be stretching it.
