HEY GREEN BAY BOB!!!  Did you enjoy the game (rout) at the dome on Sunday???
You and all the other playoff wannabees from Packer land were pretty obnoxious
and cocksure about the abilities of your precious Pack.

When you called me at home to accept my bet and discuss the terms you certainly
were obnoxious and sure of yourself.  Did you really think that the Packers were
that much of a shoe-in to beat the Mighty Vikes??

I almost puked on Sat. evening when the Luck of the Pack caused the lowly
Raiders to upset the Redskins.  But I guess it was the best thing that could 
have happened, because the Packers and all their fans did their celebrating
then instead of remembering that they still had to play the Vikings.

Well, we will have to set up a time to go to the store and pick up our Viking
jerseys.  Then you will have to wear yours on Saturday as you cheer for the best
team in the NFC Central (by far I might add, 7-1).  I sincerely hope that you
will be cheering for the proper team.  Because, if hell ever froze over and the
Pack made the playoffs and the Vikes had to watch from the sidelines, I would
cheer for them.

                                        Did you have a nice Christmas,  I did!!!

   The question I hear most is what is Pat Bowlen up to?  Does he get rid
of Reeves who is making 900k/yr to make the Broncos more appealing to pro-
spective buyers?  Pat says the decision made is not based on performance,

was not made up; that he wanted to talk to Dan first.  Next thing you know
Dan is holding a press conference to announce his own firing.  Don't believe

What exactly do people want from Aikman ?  The Cowboys won the NFC east and have
the second best record in the NFL.   Aikman is second only to Young in the
NFL, per QB ratings.  Aikman will have his chance in the playoffs to prove
what he can do.  Some might say he had his chance to prove himself in the
Washington game.  As far as I'm concerned, the offensive line is to blame
for the failure of the final drive, not Aikman.  Whenever the line was giving him
anytime at all, he was moving the team down field.

Wrongo. 

As you recall, the debate was about SBs, as the issue being "the AFC 
representatives in the early 70s being NFL teams ...." and "the 
11-2 streak and the 11-1 streak". Then Steve Tobias suddenly "settle this"
by looking at inter-conference records. That's now we started on 
Wednesday morning.

I should have ask, "when someone wants to debate the SB dominance, why 
do you always enter into it?"

As I say, every time I bring up "2 > 1", sensitive Gary will automatically 
come up with the "2 > 1 but !(2*x > 1*x), and compare 2*x & 1*x is 
perfectly valid ...." BS. This time he is even innovative enough to 
come up with the implicit, underlying corollary for me 

   "your claim of 2 > 1 implies 2*x > 1*x ...."

Not a boring argument to me at all. I am wondering what argument will
you come up with next time.

>  So what? Let's debate something more interesting, like "Gary's brain + Ed's

Well, based on your arguments in "NFC champs > AFC champs", we may even 
have evidence to disprove that.

 I've just learned to access Internet so I hope this works.

 I'm a Vikings fan who has moved from Minnesota to North Carolina.
 It's tough to follow the Vikings but this year I came across another
 Vikings fan who also owns a satellite dish so I've had a chance to see
 every game this year.

 I've been reading the recent postings about the playoffs and the QB
 situation in MN.

 I do agree that Minnesota will have a tough time making it past the
 first game if they don't receive production from Salisbury or Gannon.

 I did hear on ESPN that Dennis was going to go after Steve Walsh or
 Steve Buerlein in the off-season. Has anybody heard other rumors or
 are there other QB's that might be available ??

Actually, this has nothing to do with the A/N split.  What you should
realize is that, from 1980 on, every Super Bowl was won by team from
the bigger city.

As it happens, the NFC's best teams are from big metropolitan areas
(N.Y., Chicago, D.C., S.F.) while the AFC's best are from puny little
fishing villages (yes I'm being sarcastic) except the Raiders who --
surprise, surprise -- won in 1983.

Sounds silly?  Well, here's another one.  The shift of power wasn't
from the AFC to the NFC, it was only from a group of Miami/Pittsburgh/
Oakland/Dallas to a new group of San Francisco/Washington/New York/
Chicago.  The teams of the 70's were run by one dominant coach, or one
dominant owner, or a combination of both.  But these guys got old and,
for whatever reason, they lost their touch.

Meanwhile, around the end of the 70's, some NFC biggies got new owners
or at least new GM's, who went and hired new coaches.  They drafted
wisely and paid their players well -- partly because, working in the
biggest markets, they could afford to.  

Hey, I'm no economist, but I believe that a good decision-making
process, and the deep pockets to back it, is what makes successful
teams.  That's why Dallas is back at the top, but the Raiders just
keep declining.

Get to the source, and dump Mora. Every time I have ever watched him coach
a close game in the fourth, he'd call some boneheaded, dumbass play and lose
it for them. Now, this isn't always bad (for me), but when they toss a game to
the hated 69ers, I really get ill. Though to be honest, losing that way to
the Falcons last year was a real (if expected) treat.

Get someone else to call the offensive plays, since I don't think he'll 
actually lose his job, or if nothing else, have someone else call them in the
last quarter unless they are up by, say, at least 11 points.

The man can make a team (I guess) sure, but he's like the bastard son of

Dear Chad: Yes, I did enjoy the game at the dome this weekend. Although I
would have preferred to see the Packers win, it was a thorough pleasure to
see my team play. The only thing I didn't enjoy was unsportspersonlike fans.
I went there to see a good game between two rival teams, I don't know why
the other people went, they were a disgrace to the Vikings and their
loyal RESPECTABLE fans.

When I go to a game, I don't like to rub anything in the other fans faces.
I know that it isn't fun being on the losing end, and I
also know that what comes around go around, nobody stays on top forever.

Finally, as far as being cocksure and obnoxious on the phone, 1) yes, I really
did expect to win. 2) I was cocksure, because I did believe that we were
going to win. The Vikings had been struggling and the Packers had been
winning and I felt that if things continued in that manner we should win.
Don't forget, when we were 3 and 12 last year we managed to beat the Vikings
27-7 in the dome at the end of the season. 3) I apologize if I seemed
cocksure, obnoxious and rude. I know that I was confident, but I hoped that
you understood that my confidence and obnoxiousness were meant in humor,

The men in silver and black lived up to their reputation of
upset kings...men who have sinister plots up their sleeves,
and what a way to do it. To go down to RFK and upset the
apple cart of the Redskins. And the last drive for the 
winning TD by the Raiders, what a tremendous drive and
displayed a lot of depth in the character of the Raiders.

Anyway, I would love to see the Pack in the playoffs,
rather than the Skins.....In spite of the cheese-heads
being a great rival of the Vikes, I am also a big admirer
of Farve (grudingly:-))

Earlier Bobby Havier and his Saints continued their pounding

Havier is 17-1 against the AFC.
