WR, Re: Preston Riley, I got my years mixed up. He booted the Niners' opportunity to go to the Super Bowl in 1970 against Dallas: sfgate.com < ". . . Lou Spadia became president. The closest the team came to going to the Super Bowl under his regime was in 1970, when the 49ers played Dallas -- wouldn't you know? -- at Candlestick for the NFC title. Let Lou tell it: ``We were ahead something like 28-24 with 90 seconds to go. Dallas had just scored and tried an onside kick. All we had to do was get the ball and run out the clock. The ball went right through Preston Riley's legs -- he was our wide receiver -- and Dallas recovered. Roger Staubach threw a touchdown pass and it was all over. Preston Riley didn't say a word. He dressed, left the clubhouse and was never seen or heard from again." > Amazingly, 1972 playoff game ended similarly, hence the curse of the Cowboys. All that ugly history made The Catch in 1981-82 Championship Game that much more incredible. Agree with you about our QBs. Young was great, but Montana was unparalleled. The Stick is good enough for football, but sure seems underwhelming now that Pac Bell Park is finished. I've caught wicked colds at the Stick in May at Giants (baseball) games, but gotten sunburned in October at 49er games. Go figure. Best game I ever saw at the Stick (other than any win over Dallas) was a December 1990 Monday night 7-3 win over the NY Giants, ending with Phil Simms and Lott in each other's faces. Absolute war of attrition. A month later, Craig fumbled in the NFC title game in the last 2 minutes and the Giants went to the Super Bowl. Geez, it all seems like yesterday. jpg
