I remember a couple of years ago, on "Dan Marino Show", Shula was
on the show and he said that if it was a day game, they would wear the
white.  If it was a 4PM or night game, they would wear aqua.
It is much cooler (temp. wise) to wear white for a 1 PM game,
especially in August!

this is wrong.  (not that my posts don't have their errors, but, just to

marc wilson was indeed #6 for the raiders before becoming #15 for the
patriots.  the only #8 i ever knew for the raiders was ray guy.

mike cofer of the 49ers is also #6.  i thought there were also a couple of
#6 punters of note:  perhaps for the chiefs (?arnold?) or falcons.  which
brings us back to #4s and the bartender cum place kicker who played for the
falcons in the late 70s (forget his name ... tim mazzeti?)

I feel that Dallas will defeat the Bills because their offense is better
and their defense is better.  Period.  I predict the score will be:

		Dallas 41
		Bills  13

And I'm not even a Cowboys fan--in fact, I can't stand them and will be
rooting for the Bills.  As a Steeler fan, I'm quite used to futile
expenditures of energy rooting for lost causes.

I also predict Bruce Smith, who I think is undersized and overrated,
will be on the sidelines by the second half nursing his poor ribs while
the commentators note how bravely he played.  What a trooper.

Well, LT is a free agent for starters!!!
And if the Pats take Jones from Fl. St. -- Look for LT to be the tutor, as
he has been very open about his relationship with Parcells, and which Giants

Yeah, and I suppose that Barry Foster is a below average back who shouldn't
even be playing in the NFL. Bruce is pretty damn big, about 6'4", 260+, and if
that's too small, then how about his speed? How about his ability to hurtle
6'+ lineman like he was just playing a child's game of leapfrog? Or how about
that he has the most QB sacks of anyone over the last four years, not counting
last year as he was hurt. I wonder if you know what it's like to have cracked
ribs when somebody's hard plastic helmet hits them going about 10-20mph with
over two hundred pounds of force behind it? I wonder if you'd even get up off
the field. The only lost cause you have is your unfounded mouth. As for the
Bills losing the SB that bad is simply hysterical, and I'll laugh at you, and
remember you, when Bruce gets his SB ring. Gee, you must not be too good a
judge of talent, since Smith's opponents have voted him to four Pro-Bowls.

  I think you left out one important factor here:  The return men.  I don't
know about Buffalo, but the Cowboy's Kelvin Martin is legit threat to break

  Otherwise I find your commentary useful and insightful.  But the 'Boys
will win anyway! :-)
