      OK bozo, I've read just about enough of your drivel now. Did
you see the Raiders game last year? Kelly rallied the troops for a
great come from behind victory.  How about the way he rolled over
Kansas City in the Playoffs?  Obviously you have never watched the
Bills play, and are so blinded by you 49ers that you cant look
objectively at another team.  Kelly is a great QB (oh, BTW Tony,
who threw the most TDs in the NFL last year?) and Young isnt. Get it?
I think that  Bono is probably better.

     Here is where you cross the line from stupid to idiotic.  Bruce
Smith is back. Do you know who he is,  Tony?  Defensive MVP 2 years ago?
Ring any bells?  Who do the niners have to compare?  Try not to move your
lips while you read this.  How are they worse off?
     The Niners beat a lousy Giants team that is only a few bad breaks
away from a 4-12 season. Your defense  looked good against what? Thats
right, an anemic Giants attack that without Rodney Hampton might not have
scored at all.  Geez, real impressive.
