doesn't seem that long ago that the great Joe Montana led team in 1981 beat the Cowboys in the NFC Championship game with that TD pass to Dwight Clark, i was only 9 years old.

I'm not sure what to say, other than thanks for the memories. I grew watching my Niners, the teams he built.......

Mr. Walsh, may you Rest In Peace.

the 1980's 49'ers are arguably the best team ever.

I saw that on hardball last week... they did a survey on what people feared most. The researchers thought it would be terrorism or the economy or war or whatever. Something like 95% of the people said cancer is the bitch they worry about most.

Yeah, that's the thing. The Lions may be cursed. Then again, having an idiot running your team doesn't help. Sometimes, you get what you deserve.....

EDIT: Look at the bright side- you got to see the greatest rb EVER (IMO). Fucking Barry.....there's something we may never see again....

Yeah, I know......I took the "humble" approach... $:-\$

BTW, I can't wait for the season to start....I think we are finally making our way back to at least respectable (from doormat).

I'm sorry for your loss man. My dad has a brain tumor and I've seen him age 20 years in the last 2.

cancer is a scary bitch.

yeah i'd say so, i'm not crazy about them but it looks like they may make some noise this year, Bulger is a very underrated QB and we've got one of the best RB in the game in Steven Jackson, if our defensive line can actually stop the run this year and we can convert some of our Red Zone possesions into TD's they could be dangerous, still can't believe they gave Bulger $65MIL over 6 years though.

Sorry to hear that, man.

Like I said, if I had a wish for a cure, cancer would be my pick......

I know it sounds cliche, but you CAN NEVER let the people you care for/love enough. In the end, all we/they have are memories.

Yeah, Bulger is underrated. Best Qb in the NFC west for sure (IMO). Great receievers. Jackson is a beast.....I remember the first time I saw him, I was like, "why is this fucking beast playing rb? He should be a fucking End!"

What about Bulger's deal? Too much or too little money (IYO)? I think you guys may have gotten a bargain.

EDIT: West should be fun this year. It really is up for grabs.
