Well, first off, I'd like to wish everyone a healthy and happy new year... Now then...Congratulations to the Giants for beating the &%^$& out of beloved niners, but I feel a lot better about that loss than others, because it was a good, solid thrashing. The game was not decided by the officials, or by a classless fan with a good arm. :-) No one in the NFL deserves a Super Bowl ring more than Walter Payton. He has consistently been a superlative running back for many years, even when he was keyed on more, because he was the Bears' only weapon. However, Julius Adams also is deserving of such a ring. He's been a solid defender, although anonymous, for many years. Both gentlemen are classy, intelligent individuals as well. Here go my predictions, based as much on hope as on fact: New England 27 Miami 16 Miami has no conception of how to either use or stop the run. Marino is the most overrated QB in the NFL. In my eyes, the Dolphins are the equivalent of the Anti-Christ. Any team who can rid the NFL of this tumor deserve a bonus. Quote before Super Bowl 19: "Yeah, They can't stop me. I'll score two or three touchdowns easy." - Mark Clayton. Right. Noted. Not only does the lad have talent, but he's humble and articulate as well. In Slaughter Field: Chicago 31 Los Angeles 7 (if they're lucky.) The only hope the Rams have of a respectable showing is if Ron Brown breaks a kickoff return, or if the Bears decide to be kind and not show up. With such a fine, talented quarterback as Dieter Brock, look for the Rams to muster a total of about 220 yards total offense, most of that being given away late in the game against the nickel or prevent. Super Bowl XX: New England 24 Chicago 21 In Overtime, at that. Having watched the 49ers played complacently all season, I know what can happen to teams that get cocky. They start to listen to their fans, and take them a little too seriously. This outcome assumes decent blocking on the part of the Pats' offensive line, and a real long team prayer before the game. Beat the Rams & Dolphins...the festering sores of the NFL! (But never approaching the vileness of the disgusting, putrid Cowboys.) Edios, and may your head never be square... Gary Huckabay.
