[net.sport.football] Super Bore XX

On Monday, Jan. 13, the day after the NFC and AFC Championships, I posted
an article predicting a Bears victory 31-0.  To all of you Patriot fans
who sent me e-mail telling me I was crazy and told me to post my aricles
to net.jokes where they belong, I hate to say I told you so but...  Even
though I didn't predict the score right (I never thougt the Pats would
score 10 points) everything else came true.  No one can run on the Bears
and if you are forced to throw all the time the flood gates open up for
sacks, intercepts and fumbles.  The Pats were just simply beaten in every
aspect of the game.  And before all the sour grape articles start up, you
know the ones, if only the Pats' receivers would have held on to the ball
after the Bears' fumble in the first quarter it would have been 7-0, then 
only if the Pats' linebacker would have intercepted the tipped ball on the 
Bears' second possession he could have walked in for a touchdown and made 
it 14-0 and a different ball game, and that the Bears' FG at the end of 
the half shouldn't have counted etc. etc., don't waste your breath, the 
Bears were truly the superior team.  The only thing to stop the Bears from
winning a couple more Championships in the next few years is the fact that 
their defensive co-ordinator and his 46-Defense is rumored to be heading 
to Philadelphia to take over as head coach of the Eagles.

there *is* one thing that will stop the bears from winning the next couple of
superbowls.  the miami dolphins.  this year, the patriots did two big
favors for the bears.  first, they eliminated the dolphins so that the
dolphins would not beat chicago e pats eliminated the dolphins so that
chicago would not lose to the doplhins again.  next, the pats laid down
and died in the superbowl instead of playing as they are capable of.
next year, the bears will not be so lucky, and if they are fortunate
enough to get past the 49'ers to win the nfc, the dolphins will beat them
in the superbowl.
