2.  Any quick action on foreign inspections seems unlikely.

3.  Defensive survival would seem to depend on when those two step on the field again.

4.  Defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield said the Panthers seemed to know a lot more about the 49ers last season than the 49ers knew about them.

5.  Dennis Conner's allegedly dubbing us the "lesbo boat" seems to me only a revelation of insecurity.

6.  Dennis Heaney, incoming CPA president and executive publisher of the Los Angeles Archdiocese newspaper, The Tidings, seems fairly typical for a Catholic lay journalist.

7.  Dennis Russell Davies, the conductor, seemed to have prepared the New York City Opera Orchestra unusually well, individual slips notwithstanding.

8.  Denver clearly is the better team across the board, and the fact they're favored by a mere touchdown seems like lunacy.

9.  Denver seemed to baffle the Raider defense in the first half, mostly by using four wide receivers and spreading the field.

10.  Denver would seem to have the edge because Shanahan has been there before and is close to quarterback John Elway as well to Bowlen.
