( The San Francisco 49ers were the most dominant team of the 1980s, winning four Super Bowls in an era when the NFC won eight of ten. Yet only two offensive starters from those 1980s’ teams – quarterback Joe Montana and wide receiver Jerry Rice – are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. That makes no sense. So when former 49ers’ owner and Hall-of-Famer Eddie DeBartolo Jr. joined the “Eye Test for Two�...

Let's get to it: EDWARD SMITH FROM WILTSHIRE, ENGLAND: In my opinion, the two teams in this year's Super Bowl featured notable quarterback-tight end pairings (not sure if there's anything to that). Who would you say made up the best Steelers quarterback-tight end pairing and why? ANSWER: That's an easy one.
