You keep talking like either the Seahawks or the Broncos are going to the Superbowl. FACE FACTS, FOLKS! This year's AFC champions are gonna be the same guys as last years - the OAKLAND Raiders. The Seahawks beat them because of injuries, and a missed FG. The Broncos are just plain lucky, although recent trends seem to indicate that their luck has run out. (Being originally from Baltimore, and a CAL grad, it's instinctive for me to hate Elway's guts, anyway.) In the meantime, the Raiders have their wind back, not to mention good ole' Jim P. (who they would have to be CRAZY not to start in the playoffs). Playing Miami as already been shown to be no obstacle, and if you think one of YOUR teams is gonna nail them, especially now that they've slipped into mean mode, then I'd like some of whatever you've been smokin'. Just take a look at the Raider-Detriot game. Granted, Detroit ain't exactly the 49ers, but I find it amusing that they put Plunket in at the end of the game just to limber him up for the playoffs. And he limbered his way to a touchdown bomb on his second series, just before the game was over. And then there's the defense - I lost count of all the sacks, not to mention the brillient pass coverage, include an interception runback for a touchdown. Face it, people, you're history! The way things are going now, you'll probably end up injuring each other's key players in your last regular season came. In any case, fate has decided that San Francisco will play the Raiders in Palo Alto, so the Bay Area can have the Superbowl all to itself. After all, this does represent the ultimate confrontation between good and evil - the nice guy, clean-cut, let's-do-it-one-step-at-a-time 49ers against the nasty, dirty, what-the-hell-throw-a-bomb-and-go-for-broke Raiders. It'll be just like star wars! Seeing as I live in Berkeley, however, I'm not sure whose side I'm on... -- Renegade of Berkeley MDS Qantel ucbvax!dual!qantel!israel Disclaimer: "Who me?
