Interesting. Rice is only 29, going on 30. I don't think of him as old.
Especially, if you are mentioning Drew Hill in the same breath. Who is
this Tony Jones?

Toast McKyer? Hmmm, wasn't he unloaded by the 49ers? McKyer talks a good game,
gets lots of press, makes some interceptions, then gets toasted often for
touchdowns. Are you saying he's changed?

Yep, Houston is finally on top, now that Glanville has left.

Interesting theory, but sounds kind of hollow too me.

Seems to be the same anthem heard from Houston followers, until they got fed
up with losing in the playoffs. Glanville seems to be very good getting his
team motavated during the regular season and could defintely get his club
in the playoffs again. Still, at the moment, that isn't good enough for most
49er fans. They want to go to the big dance again. I don't think Glanville
has what it takes to get his team that far. Especially with I am toasted again
McKyer.
