WINTCH SUN NEWS SERVICES THE DIXIE SUN 49ers have Super Bowl in the bag Let's talk Super Bowl. That's right, the NFC's stomping grounds over the AFC. Although the name implies that it's to be a "super" game with a "super" matchup, the real "super" matchup was the NFC championship last week. It was the most exciting, most anticipated game of the year (that is, if you throw out the first five minutes). In the AFC, the Chargers pulled off a great goal-lin- e stand in the last few seconds to ensure the win, and the meaty bonus each player received. I lowever, the Chargers don't have a chance against the 49ers. In fact, the line has already favored San Francisco by up to 21 points. Let's look at the Niners one more time.

After Joe left, many said Steve couldn't take the team all the way. Well, Joe, sorry to say, but Steve has taken them there. No disclamer to Joe Montana. He was a great quarterback. However, "was" is the key word in that last phrase. Joe, it's time to move on, buddy. You just don't have anything else to prove. Steve passed you by, and the only way to stay on top is to etire. Then, you just might m, ke it in to the Hall of Fame on the first try. Brent C. Wintch is sports columnist for The Dixie Sun.
