    How about ‘best’ hair QB?

    BTW, DB never threw for 50 TD’s in a season. He did in his first season as a starting QB.

    I fell off my chair with your comment on 'quality' and mentioning it in the same breath with OJ, you can't be serious ……………..

    As for Brown , I'm with you there, 9 seasons, never missed a game and all he did when he crossed the goal line was drop the ball.

    Huge Sayers fan as well, but 'Sweetness' holds even a more special place for me. Regardless the game is old enough now that it's difficult to compare eras. If you want to talk complete backfields, I challenge you to name a better one than the '72 Dolphins !

    Re: Super Bowl prediction

    I’m not commenting at all on OJ as a person, but you must have seen him play. He could run over people almost as well as Brown, and run around them as easily as anyone ever. Unparalleled.

    Barry Sanders and Marcus Allen are very close to the first 3 I mentioned. I can’t really think of any others, although I will say Derrick Henry has his own charm.

    I'm from Bflo, saw OJ for sure, on the field he wa superb, agreed. As was Cookie Gilchrist before him in the sixties.

    As for running over / through DB's, nobody did it better than Campbell, Riggins and Csonka.

    I agree that Derrick Henry is fun to watch. Powerful, quick, and a smart player. He may be another player that guys will talk about in years to come.

    Re: Super Bowl prediction

    A story related to the 49er's and Super Bowl.

    My Superbowl story is from not quite 41 years ago. Our daughter was just 10 years old and an avid sports fan. Being born in 1979 and growing up in the Bay Area in the 80's and 90's she just assumed that her local football team (the 49er's and, when they were in Oakland, the Raiders) and her local baseball team (the Oakland A's and the SF Giants) would be winning championships almost all the time. My wife had no interest or knowledge of sports other than an occasional name. No facial recognition of players. In the late '80's she was on an NIH advisory committee and regularly flew to Washington for one day meetings. Of course the government would only pay for coach travel, but as a super frequent flyer, she always got free upgrades to business or first class. It was in February of 1989, and George Bush (senior) had just been sworn in as the new president. The 49er's had won their third superbowl and she was flying to DC. As normal, she was oblivious to her surroundings in the airplane, focusing on the documents for the next day's meeting.

    However, when she got off the plane, she noticed that there were a very large number of young men around her who were departing, and some other passenger said, "look, the 49er's". She got on the shuttle to the main terminal, and being in business class, it was the first one to depart, filled with other business class passengers, including the 49er's. She did notice a grey haired man sitting across from her, and recognized the 49er's coach, Bill Walsh. Pulling a yellow pad out of her case, she asked him for an autograph for our daughter. Next she thought of the only player she knew, Joe Montana. However, she had no idea what he looked like. She knew he was white, so she looked for the biggest white person on the bus, thinking that must be the best player. She had him sign her yellow pad. Looking at it, she knew the signature wasn't Joe Montana. (It was Riki Ellison - a linebacker!). So when they got to the terminal, rather than just leaving with her carry-on, she followed the 49er's to the luggage carousels and asked one of the players where Joe Montana was. He pointed across the way to Joe and his wife Jennifer (whom my wife thought was extremely thin.) She was also very surprised at how small Joe was (about my size). Joe was very cordial and signed the yellow sheet, with a greeting to our daughter, also named Jennifer.

    We later found out that the 49er's were coming to the White House to meet the president after their super bowl victory, and that they were taking a commercial flight, rather than a charter - taking up most of the first class and business class sections of that flight (TWA).

    My wife did remember that during the flight, people seemed very happy and there was this quite short man, running up and down the aisles of the plane, exuberantly greeting the players (probably owner Eddie deBartolo). Of course, the punch line, was that after returning home and gifting our only child with this precious souvenir, our daughter responded - "Why didn't you get Jerry Rice?"

    Thanks for sharing. At least your wife knew the name Joe Montana.

    I also live in the Bay Area and 49ers turnaround from last year 4-win team to this year is nothing short of remarkable.

    Re: Super Bowl prediction

    If it is a low scoring game, 49ers will prevail. If it becomes a shootout, I don’t see how 49ers would keep up with the Chiefs. Niners should try to be really discipline and run the ball, keep Mahomes off the field. As for KC, big plays early maybe the key. If they got one or two to take the lead early, Niners won’t be able to do what they do best, that is running the ball.

    Re: Super Bowl prediction

    KC looks like a better team to me, but I’m pulling for SF. Let’s just hope it’s a good close game either way.

    I asked a friend of mine who he thinks will win, he said “the red team”. LOL.

    The Niners are currently favored by 1.5 points so it's a pretty even matchup.

    Oh and, GO 49ERS!!

    Me too, despite me thinking the Seahawks had a chance and knew either they or San Fran would be in it hoping not against New England.

    San Fran by 1

    Frisco? Are you originally from there or did you move there from somewhere else? I lived there in the Bay Area in the late 70's and only non-locals used Frisco.

    Re: Super Bowl prediction

    Great game. Very few penalties, and lots of running kept the clock moving, so much so, I thought, even with the extra long commercial breaks and dreaded halftime show I didn't grow bored, which has happened many times in the past with noncompetitive performances. That said, recording the game and starting to watch an hour late helped too, I didn't find the commercials all that great (with the exception of the self parking car!) Was there a Budweiser commercial?

    Good game, half time was too much IMO, and most of the commercials hard to follow - I liked the Boston one.

    Interesting there was no Ford, GMC, Cadillac or Chevy commercials,
