Hamish, are you this unpleasant in person, or just on the net?  Are you so
insecure about your own manhood that you must detract from the manhood of
everyone else?  

American football is not soccer and the two should not be compared.  Play
soccer and have fun, but we will play football and have fun.  By the way,
it is called "football" because it developed from rugby which developed 
from soccer, and the name remained the same.  Helmets and pads are worn
by law because of the number of deaths that use to occur from the sport.

Soccer is exciting, especially those 0-0 draws.  Ranks right up there with
a seven day cricket match.

Well Hype-week 3 is underway.

I have a sincere question for Eagle fans on the net. This morning
I was listening to a local radio sports talk show hosted by 
by local and ESPN personality Norm Hitzges (sp?). As is a habit
of Norms he checks in with talk shows in opposing cities. Three times
this year Norm has simulcast shows with a couple of guys from 
WIP radio I believe this is an all sports talk station in Philly. 

During the course of a 5 minute discussion these "professionals" 
joked about allowing Andre Waters to play this week for one play
so he can break Emmit Smith's leg and to warm up Beurlian because
Troy was going to the hospital. This ofcourse accompanied by a the
type of eagle home team woofing I'd expect to find at the local pub
after several cold ones not worthy of wasted bandwith here.

These men offered NO insites to the game to be played. Norm while
a Dallas personality is by no means a homey. Infact he picked the
Eagles in the first Eagles/Cowboys match this year.  Its distasteful
to listen to these Eagle woofing idiots 2 now 3 times a year. Whats
worse is when Norm, in an attempt to balance the segment does some
of his own toned down Cowboy woofing (though this woofing NEVER,
EVER involves avocacy of injuries to another player even in "jest").
Norm's only comment on Andre Waters is that he hope he plays to add
to the overall leval of play in the game.  I've never heard a Dallas
talkshow host avocate injury as part of a winning game plan. I doubt
I'd have much use for a host who would stoop to that level.

I plan on missing the 2 hour simulcast this Friday. It would 
take away from may enjoyment of the game. Norm does simulcast
with stations in Washington, and NY and never heard the low class
trash talk I heard during the Philly segments.

Now the Question:
Are these idiots representive of the Philidelphia media?  If
so you have my sympathy. Ofcourse you give the people what
they want. Have listeners to sports talk shows in any other
cities heard this trash out of Philly.

  I listened to part of the 49er/Redskin game on the radio and I think
they may have made a good point concerning Steve Young and his rather
poor performance. They brought up the idea that all of the press talk
about the return of Joe Montana in recent weeks was possibly causing
Young to try too hard. He did play like a man trying too hard to prove
something instead of just relaxing and playing his game.

Agreed here, too, pointing out the Cowboys' glaring weakness: linebackers.
We need to get Reggie White, or *somebody* off the free agency list, and
move Haley back to linebacker, where I think he would be even more effective.

I ca definitely remember the Seahawks playing the Raiders in playoff
game, in fact I think they won (don't quote me on it). And correct me
if I'm wrong, but didn't the Bucs lose to the Rams in the playoffs
during the Rams Superbowl season; also I'm certain they also made it
during the strike-shortened 9 game season.

You heard this first.

Washington Redskins will attempt to trade Wilbur Marshall and Alvin
Walton for Steve Young of San Frisco.

I would hate to lose Marshall but it does make sense due to salary cap(6M).

Steve Young would guide Redskins with his offensive weapons. It is
time to sent Rypien to CFL. San Frisco would gain from this trade.
They have Bono, Montana (2-3 more good years) and Musgrave. With Marshall
and Walton's hard hitting defensive. Frisco have nothing to lose.

Hope Gibbs and Seifer will read this note and give me a royality.

And again, YOU HEARD this FIRST.

Why blame the QB when the team didn't play well ? Any QB in the league can have
bad day once in awhile. If Montana still injure, would anyone say "Dump Young"?
Probably not.  Young has carry 9ers team to this point with the best record
in the league and won the first playoff game.  It was not impressive and he
did turn the ball over 4 times.  I rememberd that it was raining during the
game and that may played major part in turnovers.  I think Young will do
great at the game against Dallas and he will be the one who lead the team to
the Super Bowl and win it.  Montana may have only one or two years left in his
football career.  9ers can't keep Montana and Young.  Both are great QB and
want to play the game.  I think Young will stay and Montana will end up with
KC, Minn, or LA Raiders.  I hope he end up with my teams (Redskin or Raiders).

Cuningham is a great QB.  He may not be the QB he use to be before injury.
Last week game won by Dallas Defense.  The Dallas pass rush was there all day
and Philly didn't get their running game going.  I give credit to Dallas D and
Cuningham still a great QB.

The 49ers have been playing there since 1970.  Right now the Giants
(yeah, baseball) have pretty much final say over what happens at
the Stick - since they are the primary tenant.  Don't count on
the City coming up with any money to change things, since they
like many large cities, are broke.

No, Finks took Finks to the cleaners. Johnson made a good trade as far as the
Cowboys are concerned. I doubt that Johnson told Finks that Walsh was the
greatest thing since sliced bread. If he was he would have been the Cowboys
quarterback. Was is it if someone makes a good trade he is accused of ripping

That is true with the one game being closer than 10 points being the Houston 
game at Denver when some stupid Oiler secondary player came up on a 4th-and-10 
when Elway looked like he might run so that Elway was able to throw a loop 
pass for a 44-yard gain. This has to be the stupidest thing I ever saw an Oiler 
do which is saying something since the team makes so many stupid moves every 
year since Elway couldn't have run for the 1st down anyway on that play.

However, there have been two games which were decided by 10 points exactly. One 
is the Cinci at LA Raider game where Bo was able to know knee injury.

Also, the Bills are presently ahead so the perfect record is in jeopardy.
