I would like to publicly apologize on my part for creating
some animosity in this newsgroup. I will admit that I made
some absurd statments, but it was done only to peeve some
fervert fans.

What started, on my part, as merely as an excerise in ruffling
the feathers on some die-hard fans, was escalated by name calling
on the part of others. I realize I should I have put a stop to it,
but coupled with some fervent rebuttals and comments by others,
I likewise complied in kind.

I do apologize, really, but I haven't had a chance to read r.s.f.p
in about 4+ days. I have been extremely busy at work 
trying to iron out some minor problems with our system (our 
system crashed 2 weeks ago).

You have to realize, that I don't take sports as seriously as some
other netters do. I go in and just have fun in trying to, as I
mentioned earlier, to ruffle some feathers.  One way to ruffle
someone's feathers is to attack "their" teams or "their" favorite
NFL player.  I am really amazed by what I consider perhaps some
very intelligent men out there, get into frivilous debates over
something WE CANNOT control, i.e., outcome of games or a teams
standings.  I am not ignorant and I am sure the majority of
the other netters are also not ignorant. We, however, get
caught up in the defense of local favorite teams and when
someone says your QB sucks, it is taken personally.

Again, I do apologize and I was planning on posting such a
post to the net.  However, coupled with my busy schedule and
I am "housesitting" for an colleague for the next 3 weeks.
I have been at this house since Thurs. (Oct. 8th) and I just
figured out how to use his communications software to login
to my system (at work). BTW: he uses ms-kermit and I use
Crosstalk).  When I did login in, today, there were several
hundred items. I just did the good 'ole "c" (cancelled all
the items).

My only point, seriously, was to state that a Cunningham,
Elway or Kelly, are not Gods and they are suspect QBs (IMHO)
when it comes to big games. YES, I know their stats in the
overall scheme of the NFL, but these stats, IMHO, are not
going to win them SBs.  BTW: I am a Niner fan, and I don't
believe I have said Young is the best.  As evidenced by
today's win over the Patriots (Niners 24 Patriots 12), Young
was able to come back and win the game. Although, I prefer
Bono over Young, Young did what it took to win the game.
Kelly and Cunningham in today's games, were less than
spectucular and they were victimized by superior defenses
on THIS SUNDAY. What does these prove? Does it mean Young
is better? Not hardly. Does it mean Cunningham and Kelly
are over-rated? You tell me. OR, does it mean both teams
played superior teams today. Not hardly. I will say the
Chiefs appear to be a better balanced team than the Raiders,
but the Raiders are starting to surprise me of late.

Well, I better stop before I start another avalanche of
rebuttals.  :-) So please accept my apologies for stepping
on some toes and for my stupid remarks in support of
"non-facts" that I kinda threw in to mess with your minds.

John
