It's never an easy win. It's always a danger, and we're going to have our hands full with the 49ers.
There's a sense of urgency surrounding defending NFC West champion San Francisco. Owens's potential free-agent departure -- the outspoken star may be too expensive for York's cost-conscious tastes -- is one more reason for the 49ers to force the issue in
When people talk about Super Bowl dynasties they mention the 1970's Steelers, 1980's 49ers, 1990's Cowboys and the current New England Patriots, but nobody has dominated the Super Bowl like Anheuser-Busch.

This is a colossal tragedy for the 49ers and the entire NFL community.
This was a personnel decision on the part of the 49ers, ... It was a decision to go with younger players versus the veteran. It's a philosophy. They have the right to have that philosophy, but I'm not going to let them off the hook by calling it a cap decision and letting them cloak it in that language. They have younger receivers that they want to play.
Mora, after seven years as a 49ers assistant, returned to San Francisco for his first NFL game. When the schedule came out and I saw that, I laughed, ... I knew everyone would try to make that game about me, which was silly. Hey, I've played my dad four times. Now that's something. It's an awful day, win or lose.

He taught me a lot about football while coaching together with the San Francisco 49ers. I was fortunate enough to get him last year as a graduate assistant at San Jose State while he was still in the employ of the 49ers. His Pacific-10 Conference and state of California roots run deep and he will help the ASU program in many ways.

Could New England stand up to the Steelers defense of the '70s No chance. And I don't think they had near the balance the 49ers had during (the Super Bowl) years.
