CHA-CHING!!!!

Well?  Where are YOU SAINTS fans?  Is it time for a Reauxll Call?
Of course, it is hard fitting a post in between all of these
whining-untrimmed-overspliced-cowburger-redgirl-slammin posts....not that 
I'm mentioning any names.              (Gloria, Zimmers, TonyGoNiners)

I hear folks wondering where we are in net.land.  We're here, just
carefully placing a 'weauxf' here, 'cha-ching' there -- but always
remembering what could happen if our wooofing goes astray.  That's
right....the same fate as Iggles, Jills, Dollpins, etc.   I shun the thought.

BTW, I lightly claimed after the usual 'cha-choke' in Candlestick that
if the Niners were playing the best ball right now, the Saints were a
close second.  Seems to be holding true.  The Saints O is vastly
improving  -- note FIVE OFFENSIVE TOUCHDOWNS in Anaheim Sunday, 3
rushing, 2 passing.  Quit listening to what the sports media is saying,
"Saints.....great DEE....lousy O."  In fact, not even the media is
saying it these days.  The only problem heading into the playoffs is
psychological, IMHO.  If the Saints win, sloppy or not, in the Wildcard
at the Dome, it could be KATY BAR THE DOOR FOR THEM NINERS!!  

OOPS!  Gotta watch that caps-lock.  Remember WHO-DAT fans, if you must
weaxuff, please leave something to appease the net.gods.  (Note my closing 
parenthetical sacrifices.)

I agree with one point of this article. If the Pack makes the
NFC-Central title.....I wouldn't mind seeing them destroying
the other teams like the Boys,  whose fans have become plain
obnoxious.

However, the 90s should see a great rivalry between the Pack
and the Boys, but things would be sweeter if the pack can
dominate the rivalry. Ofcourse, I'm not counting the Vikes
out as a future NFC threat.

First of all, I'm not sure what you mean by "momentarily" out of Aikman's
hand.  The word "momentarily" implies that it left his hand but he regained
control of the ball.

Secondly, there are situations where it is impossible to make a precise
determination (even with the use of instant replay at whatever angles of
the camera you want to use) as to when the ball actually leaves the
quarterback's hand.  However, all situations where this is important
involve a defensive player interfering with the QB's throwing motion.  I
think the defensive player deserves a certain amount of credit for having
been there to make the play, so call it a fumble.

By the way, Dallas voted to get rid of instant replay and the Redskins

I saw this same play and it appeared to me that the play was over and Emmitt
caught Marshall out of the corner of his eye coming full speed at him.  I
think Emmitt just ducked instinctively.  I don't think he intentionally went
after the knees.  While were on the subject, did you also see the play
involving Marshall and Jay Novacek?  After a play not involving either player
directly, the whistle blows but Marshall hits Novacek's blind side knocking
him into the pile of players. When Novacek gets up Marshall grabs him around
the neck and throws him to the ground.  I think Marshall was called for
unnecessary roughness on that play.  Is this the play of a Pro Bowl Linebacker?

Agree. Not the best game I've seen either, but Young's two TD
passes to Rice were classics. One on One, Mano a Mano, and
Reynolds had no chance against perferctly thrown passes by
Young and Rice's ability to separate himself at the last
moment to make a reception.

Watters was able to run enough plays to attain a 1000 yd
year. The bright spot for the Bucs was the sensational
running of Cobb and Anderson. I was also impressed by Dawsey's
receptions skills.

Subject: (Vikes) The words SPARK, PATHETIC and INCONSIST
Organization: Minnesota Supercomputer Center, Minneapolis, MN
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1992 02:10:23 GMT


I want to begin by saying -- if I hear the word SPARK in conjuction with the
Viking's offense ever again I think I'll go crazy!  Every game all I ever hear
are the announcers saying "Well maybe this great defensive play will give the
Vikings offense the spark they need to get going."  Nope, sorry, just won't
happen.  The SPARK the Vikings need is a new QB.  I've defended Gannon for the
last time, sure he a great athlete, but he sure ISN'T a QB.  (And I don't think
Salisbury is any better either)  I posted earlier predicting a MN win, under the
disclaimer that if they turned the ball over more than once they'd lose.  Well I
guess once was even enough. (Incidentally, my prediction of Gannong throwing for
over 250 yards was just pure hope.  I wanted to believe it could happen).  

The Viking's offense has rewritten the defintion of the word PATHETIC.  The
passing game was non-existant (that might even be an understatement)  Watching
Rich Gannon consistently underthrow, overthrow, and throw 'floaters', I was
surprised he was only intercepted once.  Hell, the first play of the game he
almost threw an interception to a wide-open, diving 49ER!

To say the game was a complete failure, however, wouldn't be fair to the defense,
who once again was forced to play most of the game.  Sure they "bent" a little bit
but they had to contend with the 49ers almost always having good field position
(which is a credit to the 49ers).  They scored their 8th touchdown of the year
on a beautiful interception-return and sacked Young 7 times.  To the critics of
the Vikes defense:  Any team who's defense is on the field constantly, cannot be
expected to shut down the other teams offense continuously, especially when it is
as potent as the 49ers. 

The special teams were so-so, allowing the 49ers a big run back but also setting
the offense up for its only touchdown when they forced the 49ers' punter to run
with the ball instead of getting off the kick at his own 5 yard line.

All I can conclude is that once again I am living the life of a gut-wrenched
Viking's fan who sees his team have moments of brillance and then go on to play
totally INCOSISTENT football.  If the Vikings had a decent QB, I truely believe
they would be a dominating team.  I sure hope Green Bay loses before they play
the Vikings, because I am having some serious doubts as to whether or not the
Vikes will be able to beat them.  Although, it won't matter because if they back
their way into the playoffs, they'll be out after the first game anyway.

(I heard on the radio that Wade Wilson passed for 320 yards and 5 touchdowns!
Maybe they shouldn't have gotten rid of him.  It would be neat to see the Vike's
run a 3-way QB controversy :^)

Well, I am almost out the door on the way to a two-week vacation,
but I am waiting out the end of the Steelers-Vikings game.  This 
has been a pretty sloppy game thus far, both by the players and
the refs.  There have been 4 or 5 turnovers, indicative of the
defensive strengths of these teams.  Although it is not shown in
the score, the Vikings offense has done considerably well today
 (currently 3-3 with the Vikes driving with 3 minutes
to play).  Salisbury is currently given the chance to make the
same mistakes that Gannon made last week, taking losses to move
the Vikes out of field goal range.  Salisbury, however, hands
off to Allen..  GOOD  MAN!!  The Vikings are in field goal range
with time running down.  This could be the Central Division.

The Vikes look good.  They will run a few plays to make the
field goal shorter.  There are 4 seconds left.  This field goal
will be the game.

The Steeler's let Reveiz get set... then they call time out..they
know that they are in trouble.....

Here it comes... the snap, the kick,  IT'S  GOOD!!!!!!!!!!  GAME
OVER!!!!!  VIKINGS WIN THE CENTRAL DIVISION.  SORRY PACKERS!!!!
