former cal bair java best, but quarterback alex smith is not buying into the big game hype. >> you know, this is not something players think about. every time you strap on that helmet, every time you put the shoulder pads on and you walk onto the field, it's enough as it is. they are playing for a lot. you are playing for your job. i mean, there's a lot of things that go into that. so i think all of a sudden the two teams are out there, you are still playing a football game and trying to win. >> meanwhile the raiders are coming off a great road victory over houston, a day after their majority owner al davis had passed away. the team will honor mr. davis today in their first home game since his passing, hoping to just win, baby. here's the bottom line, the coach wouldn't want it any other way. he don't want anybody in there talking about him or going through this, that or the other. he wants this football team to play football. that's my message to these guys. we have done our grieving, we've paid the respects the right way and we will continue to do so. >> all right. the sharks hoping to give the
