He may be a hotdog with ALOT of mustard, but you have to respect his
play.  He can totally take one receiver by himself and take them out of
the game, not too many corners these days can say that.  Also, you show
me someone faster who can close on a ball in the air like he can.... I
can't think of anyone.  The dancing and trash talk does get to be old
news, but his game is a piece of work to watch.

Once there was a man named Deion

Like a female M. Jackson
For the $35 mil he conned.

I don't have to respect his play.  I will say he is a very effective
player, but respect?  I think not.  The word sportsmanship has yet to
enter his vocabulary.

Here's my poem,

Thank thank thank you.
The only thing I like about Deon is when I somehow manage to pick
SanFran against my buddy when we play Sega John Madden 96.  Deon wins
me money.  But I hope he breaks his freakin neck in the game Sunday and
this way he'll be rich but.....oh well.

I consider Woodson to be a better all-around corner.  The reason
he doesn't get as much press (besides the fact he was injured
this year) is that he's not a big mouth.

Oh please, I am a LONG TIME Cowboy fan and even I must agree that Deion is
NOT that good at all.  Sure he seems to cover receivers well but guess what ???
If you didn't ever blitz, never made an attempt to solo tackle downfield, and
never make a tackle in the backfield, I would bet that anyone can cover well.

The reality is give em a Ronnie Lott (in his 49er days) or a Rod Woodson, or
Bill Bates best of all.  Bill has given over 10 years to the Cowboys and still
seems to be able to do it all.  He's the only corner I'd give $35 million.

Not to take anything away from Deion, but Cordell Stewart can close
in on a ball in mid air pretty damn good. Doesn;t mean their going to
win though. Although I'd love to see a token win for the AFC.

Finally a voice of reason. Deon covers like superman. But his tackeling is
for naught.  He simply isn't tough enough to do it on his own.Deon and
Jerry Jones deserve each other.

I want to know why hes not penalized for his dancing in the end zone.
I have seen players get a penalty for far less. They call it taunting.
I don't really like the way the officials in all sports handle the stars
with kid gloves. Shaq commits at least 15 fouls every time he plays but
almost never fouls out. If they called him for all the fouls he commits
he couldn't play the game. The only reason hes effective at all is because
hes a bully and the officials let him get away with it.

Deion has speed, I'll give you that.  But as a corner back, he can't tackle and
as a receiver, he can't catch.  So what did Jerry Jones get for his $35
million?  A very speedy hot doggin', trash talkin', showboatin' average
conerback.  If Deion is the key ingredient to winning a SuperBowl, then why
didn't the Falcons win?

He ain't the key: he is just the guy smart enough to get the money.

Don't dis Deion. He has gotten the endorsements, commercials and money to
take care of his family. That is what this new Nike/Pepsi NFL requires and
Deion takes advantage of reality.

It isn't a team game anymore. It is how much and how many times you can
appear in commercials.

The Superbowl is over now: the score: Dallas 20-Pittsburgh 17 (Emmitt
Smith did not score that touchdown so true fans will give Dallas the win
but not 27 points.)

The Dallas O-line and the Pittsburgh D-line were the players of the game
but that isn't how the prime time network saw it.

Deion made no difference in the Super Bowl. I hope the Cowboys give him an
additional $50 million. The Boyz won. Is football better for that?

I think the main work in Deion's vocabulary is "showboat".

He also blushed and got embarrassed when he was asked if he'd like
Deion if he was on his team.

Hope you enjoyed the game.

You could at least give Dallas 2nd and goal from the one-inch line.

I can't remember who said it, but I think this is even better:

And it's STILL that way after XXX. Hmm.

Wasn't it great to see him able to play on Sunday and not only play but he also
had a nice defensive play breaking up a pass.  Too bad it wasn't enough.

The High point of the SB, was( in my opinion) seeing ol' Primetime 
get burned for the TD at the end of the half. 

In fact, It looks to me like if he had not pushed the receiver, it would 
have been a miss, meaning that the only TD Primetime helped
to score in the game was for Pittsburgh.

	Let me just say this about our friend Deion...oh, wait, I guess
I can't really write that on a public net....Okay, let's be scientifi...
forget it - I'd like deion to get hit by a speeding train..I think that
about covers it all. There IS a line between being an intense player (see
Bear's 85 defense) and a player who is flat out annoying. I don't mind to
see Deion out there playing because then he's not let the hot air out of
his bloated head.  I find it hard to believe that team players like Troy
Aikman and Emmit "I really didn't score in the Superbowl" Smith actually
like him! Unfortunately, Deion does have an adverse affect on other
offenses - sometimes they stay completely away from his side of the
field.  I want to take a moment to point out the conerback who got burned
for the steelers first touchdown in the superbowl. It was a conerback who
couldn't play Thigpen on a simple crossing pattern...because that
requires a little muscling of the receiver. In conclusion...
		"Shut up Deion!"

Bingo!  Sportsmanship is becoming a lost art in professional sports.
Deion is just another example of what is becoming a major turnoff in
professional sports... lack of class and sportsmanship.  Can you imagine
what Lee Roy (sp?) Jordan and Bob Lilly would do to this guy if he played
in those days?  He makes even the most routine plays look like a circus
show.

I am not a Cowboy fan, and I agree with your assessment of Deion.  Give
me 12 Bill Bates or Ron Woodson's anyday over Deion.  By the way,
congrats on your SB victory.  I'm from Houston and even though I rooted
for Pittsburgh, you guys deserved to win.  I just wish the Cowboys could
go back to the Staubach days regarding class acts.  There only a handful
of guys I respect on that team.  If they had more Troy Aikman's and Bill
Bates, lost Jerry Jones and Switzer, I would follow the team again.  It's
kinda ironic I rooted for Pittsburgh as hard as I rooted for the Cowboys
to beat Pittsburgh back when Pitt was great.

I do have to say about the sportsmanship of Jerry Jones is that he
impressed me after the Super Bowl by not ripping apart anyone (including
Jimmy Johnson) or whooping it up like Switzer.  He gave the league
credit.  He even commented on how this game was needed for football.  He
followed that up with a gracious compliment to Pittsburgh, their staff,
team, and organization.  It was refreshing to see someone compliment the
other in such a moment.  Football needs more of that than close games.

It is easy to be a good winner.  Something of which several of the
Cowboys' players are ingorant of.  A real test of sportsmanship is
being a good loser. The exact opposite of good sportsmanship are
winners of course.  At least for the moment it doesn't appear that
much of that was displayed *this* time, which was a bit of a shocker
to me as well as was the relatively clean game that was played by both
teams.

What follows is a great plan, assuming that 1) there were know salary cap 
restrictions preventing a team from signing the three most expensive 
defensive free agents of the year and 2) anybody would be interested in 
playing for Minnesota, particularly since the team just lost its 
defensive coordinator.  Also, the team's offense is based around a QB who 
is downright aged if not infirm.  

Also, Jack Del Rio probably won't be back with the Vikes.  Oh well, guess 
they'll just have to go sign Bryan Cox and/or Hardy Nickerson, too.

     Nobody outside the vikings NG really cares about this material.  And
none of us want to see it either.  Don't start more cross-posts unless you
really like being abused.

    During this next off season the Vikes need to sign some key players
on defense that will make this team a superbowl contender.  First of
all they have to patch up the holes on the defensive line by signing
Eric Swann DT and Leslie O�neal DE.  This will move Eric Swann to
Defensive left tackle and leave John Randle at the right defensive
tackle position.  Then we would have Leslie O�neal and Derrick
Alexander at the defensive end positions.  If the Vikings are able to
sign those two players they would have one of the best defensine lines
in the league.

    With Ed Mcdaniel and Jack Del rio more than likely to return next
season the vikes won�t have to make any changes.  The only thing the
Vikings will have to worry about in this area is finding a strong side
linebacker which could be filled in by Jeff Brady who did a good job in
filling in for the injured Jack Del Rio last season.

    As for the secondary we do have to make some adjustments.  At the
cornerback position Dewayne Washington would stay at right cornerback
leaving left cornerback an easy target.  The Vikes could help there
secondary by signing Aneas Williams Which would put him at left
cornerback.  As for the safeties Orlando Thomas will stay at free
safety and Harlon Barnett would stay at strong safety.  If the Vikings
can sign these key players on defense they would be a playoff contender
waiting for a team that gets in there path to the superbowl.


GO VIKES IN 96!

What the Vikes need more than anything is team speed. They are
one of the slowest teams in the NFL(Jack Del Rio is a 4.9 guy)
and are slowing with age.

Yeah all this sounds great but do you really think that Roger Headdick will
sign all those guys.  Remember he let our best running back leave because he
was getting to expensive and he thought he was to injury prone.  Looks like he
let the wrong running back take a hike.  Terry Allen rushed for over 1000 yards
again and greedy Robert Smith held out for more money then spent most of the
year on the sidelines with injuries.
