Risking that there a enough time to squeeze in the sixth annual abcs of sports a army european championships. After usar eur dropped its championships in october 1989, no one knew if the new secs would work. The big barometer was basketball and the Mercury skyrocketed.

Amid the germans opening world cup game in which they hammered Yugoslavia 4-1,1 said Germany would win it All had to be the easiest prediction since going with Germany in 1974. H Harwell. Ernie followed Musburger to the Gull Lotine. Amazing that the tigers would decapitate the most famous talking head in Detroit at least Harwell will keep doing radio play by play through 1991. By then Detroit fans might raise their voices and keep the Hall of Fameron the Bucky Fox. I in tuned. Erik Mcmillan knew exactly where his new York jets were headed.

Same Story less than two years after an kept Joe Montana a winning super bowl pass to John Taylor waiting for a Public service spot. Some service p prediction mine for this nil season was Cincinnati Over Washington in the super Bowlin a sticking with it but barely. Q quarterbacks. With Kelly Simms Harbaugh and Moon going Down you can imagine How nervous the 49ers Are if Montana is injured they would have big problems with the giants. Or the , if Montana were Hurt.
