...wily 49ers receiver could lose his own shadow if the game depended on it. He's got timing too. His 127th touchdown, the one that vaulted him past Jim Brown into first place on the N.F.L.'s all-time leading touchdown list, came on home turf while 70,000 fans in San Francisco watched and another 30 million or so Monday Night Football viewers tuned in from home...
...While concussions may be no more common than in the past, there is now a heightened awareness among team doctors, coaches and players (and their agents) that the injuries are often more serious than they seem. Says San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young, who has had his bell rung several times: "People are realizing that nowadays, with players' size and velocity, the physics of some of the hits are taking a toll on people's heads." Medical experts warn that scientific knowledge of the long-term effects of even minor blows to the brain is sparse. Increasingly concerned, N.F.L. commissioner...

...rumors remain rampant that Deion Sanders signed with the San Francisco 49ers at an artificially-reduced salary to keep the club under the salary cap, with Nike indirectly subsidizing the salary by increasing his Nike contract...
...only possible problem with soccer watching is the paucity of goals scored. I can remember hearing Dan Rather moan on CBS Radio the day after the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers played a 7-3 game on a Monday night. Americans watching soccer will now identify that game as a fantastic defensive battle. Why not, when 1-0 baseball games are hailed as 'monumental pitchers' duels' and such? Why not, when New York Knick Anthony Mason's sole intelligible comment during the NBA Finals was, "I luv [sic] defense"? Television watchers will begin to enjoy the phenomenal passing...
