" boys have the last laugh as "Da Boys" have thrown the Super-jinx Buffalo Bills 52-17 in the Super Bowl (or, should I say, Stuper Bowl) in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. To say I was surprised by the outcome of the game is somewhat of an understatement. I felt the Cowboys would win, but not by 35 points. Of course, I also did not expect the Bills to commit nine "turnovers, or Leon Lett of the Cowboys to mistake the five-yard line for the goal line for that matter. My prediction was Dallas 27 Buffalo 17. At least I got two out of three right; the Cowboys did win, and the Bills did score 17 points. Not that I am complaining. I am as huge of a fan of the new version of "America's Team" as I am of the old version, but 1 actually thought like everyone else; it seemed the Bills would actually be competitive. 1 wasn't expecting Tr/>if All-miii in hlnccnm intr? o * i \jy / \ 1 jv 11ten i iv/ i/ivoi'viu lx ms wm. ; ^ : y-> % IIP ^^8 >K.?.
