From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: WEEKEND PREDICTIONS: View from the subway: Falcons take out Rams Jeff Schultz - Staff Friday, October 15, 1999 New York, Old York, Same York to Me -- Subway Series, my rump. There. I feel better now. Back to football. Bill Parcells announced Rick Mirer will start for the Jets. Jim Fassel announced Kent Graham will start for the Giants. No wonder everybody here is so miserable. And you think the Falcons have got quarterback problems? Chris Chandler is probable after aggravating his hamstring injury Thursday while parallel parking. If Chandler can't rise from traction, the Tweets will start Tony Graziani for the fourth time in six games against the St. Louis "Don't Wake Me, I'm Still Dreaming" Rams. Rams owner Cruella de Ville is so happy with the amount of money she's making that she has delayed telling the players she canceled their health insurance in Week 2. Rams quarterback Kurt Warner tore up Arena League secondaries all last season, which explains his success against the Falcons two weeks ago. Warner was exposed by St. Louis in the expansion draft and the Browns wouldn't take him. Neither would the Thrashers. So how's this for the starting five quarterbacks in the NFC West: Kurt Warner, Tony Graziani, Billy Joe Hobert, Jeff Garcia, Steve Beuerlein. And I didn't even make that up! And you wonder how flotsam like the Rams can fall into 4-0. Well, it ends here. Mr. Vermiel, it's time for your medication. Now put down that bedpan! With or without the Quarterback in the Bubble, our Finches With An Attitude stun 127 fans at the Georgia Dome. ("Excuse me, is this where the Braves play?") Birds over Lambs. Daily specials Young and the Senseless: The 49ers are really putting their foot down this time. They insist Steve "That's a Fast Little Mouse" Young will not be allowed to play until he can count to at least seven, since team policy is that all quarterbacks keep track of how many times they are sacked during a game. Young clearly has regressed. He used to just make claims of having an imaginary friend named Harvey. But Thursday, he could actually be seen playing with him, which of course infuriated Jerry Rice because nobody ever throws to him anymore. All this must tickle Carolina coach George Seifert, who returns to San Francisco for the first time since Carmen Policy tied two Super Bowl trophies to his ankles and pushed him off the Bay Bridge. Panthers stink, but I'll take the points on principle.
