1.	The nitwit mentioned above (Anson Mount) has an affiliation with the
Pacific NorthWest and appears to bias opinions because of this.  For proof 
look at his predictions over the past 5 years on how well OSU (Go Beavs :-))
would do.  (~6 wins versus predictions of ~26).  It should not surprise 
anyone that the first time the Seahawks have a slim chance at winning the 
Super Bowl Anson Mount would choose them.

2.	As a 49er fanatic (No, I am not a bandwagon jumper.  I have suffered
with the Niners 18 of my 23 years) I am enjoying what future historians will
consider the Niner Dynasty.  Nobody will even come close this year as the
Niners will be 19-0.  I am still convinced that the Niners would have gone
undefeated last year if the stupid Seahawk game had not taken priority over the
Niner-Steeler contest in the Portland area.  One of the two Niner games the
networks missed here.  The 49ers simply cannot play their best if I don't
get to see the game (-:

3.	Did anybody else think it peculiar that the networks completely
skipped the opening of NFL pre-season last weekend.  Or did the swine at the
Portland stations simply not broadcast them here.  What gives?!?

4.	Predictions:
		San Fransisco 49ers
		St. Louis Cardinals
		Green Bay Packers  (Is the Pack Back?) (The Bears are sissies)
		
		Oakland (I can't say LA) Raiders
		New England Patriots
		Pittsburg Steelers

	Super Bowl:
		San Fransisco	44
		Seattle		17   (My dad likes the Seahawks)
				     (They do better as a wild card)

	College:
		#1 Anybody but BYU please.  Florida State otherwise.
		Oregon State Beavers 4-0 then 6-5 (Don't laugh, it hurts)
		PAC-10: University of Washington (I hate them Dawgs)
