Traditionally after a good season there's a host of personel looking
for more money.  If the team continues to do well I'll speculate that this
trend grows.  Most teams can't afford it and won't pay it.  How have the
niners been keeping this smorgasboard of personnel, if not by money?
Ah I see.  That's were the good cheerleaders come in :^).
No, I'm not saying teams with money should be penalized, just envied :).

Bears tickets, at least the ones I can get a hold of, are $30 - no big
difference there.  I can't name any references, I just remember the media
refering to large contracts in S.F. in general.  This is a real question -
any idea what the 9ers profitability has been?  Just curious.

I've got an idea John,  why don't you become a Bears fan and I'll switch
over to the 9ers?  I wouldn't want to either,  just as I suspect you'll
still be woofing for the 9ers when/if they get bad. :)
