    Does anyone know the status of 
    
    Eric Martin from N.O. - What JD said, he signed
    Eddie Brown from Cinci - could be out for the year, neck 
    Is Kevin Mack going to start for the Browns - placed on IR
    
    Will Irvin and Rison ever sign - Irvin soon, Rison? (Hanyes,Hill,Jones)

    Eddie Brown is out for the season with a back injury.  Don't know that
    the Bengals will miss him too much.  Carl Pickens, rookie from
    Tennessee, has been pretty impressive.

    E Brown and Mack out....arghhh my depth is gone...
    
    I heard Humphries will start for the Fish but with the off week
    this week Shula could change his mind by the 13th.

275.8GRANPA::DFAUSTWith every wish,there comes a curseWed Sep 02 1992 15:377
    The Eagles signed DB Eric Allen today. The lone remaining unsigned
    player is TE Keith Jackson, who is asking for around $2 million a
    season. I think it will be a while before Jackson is in a football
    uniform.

275.9USCTR1::NAHEARNWed Sep 02 1992 16:379
    Barring injury, there is nothing that will change Shula's mind
    regarding Bobby Humphrey's starting status......the Dolphins had him
    pencilled in as their starter the moment they traded for him!!!

275.18K. Byars - TECTHQ::CURRIERuss Currie (227-3909)Thu Sep 03 1992 18:145
     Last night, Sportscenter reported that Kieth Byars is going to be
    lined up at TE due to Jackson's hold out. Kieth ain't too happy about
    that and neither am I. (He's one of my FFL RB's)

275.19GRANPA::DFAUSTWith every wish,there comes a curseThu Sep 03 1992 19:4910
    Jackson is asking for $2 million a season, the Eagles offered to make
    him the highest paid TE in football, around $1.3 million. jackson is
    still urinated about the way he was treated 2 years ago, when he
    thought he had a verbal committment from the Birds to renegotiate his
    contract. Jackson's agent (Gary Wichard) is also a jerk, which doesn't
    help. All I know is that Cunningham depends alot on Jackson to be
    sucessfull, so the better get him in there.

275.20DECWET::CROUCHThis note dictated, but not readFri Sep 04 1992 14:5915
    Anyone know anything about John Taylor, 'Niners WR?   I've been looking
    at the box scores of the pre-season games and haven't seen his name
    once.  He also didn't play in the half I could stand watching of the
    Seahawks-SF game.
    
    Also, is Kevin Butler still kicking for the Bears?
    
    For anyone who has any Seahawks on their team, Blades ended his holdout
    and is expected to see some time this week.  JL Williams and, I
    believe, Rueben Mayes are starting in the backfield.  I'm not sure who
    is going to start at TE, but Paul Green is the only guy who can
    actually catch a pass.  Travis McNeal just ended his holdout.  James
    Jones was being converted to a TE before McNeal signed.

275.41Practice Squad is just for practiceLJOHUB::MFFL::Straub...salsa, selzer...Wed Sep 30 1992 19:056
Re: Clayton on Practice Squad
He's only eligible if he is officially activated off the practice squad to 
the active roster.  My guess is that they're using these few days too see
if he's really fit to come back in time for Monday night.

275.48JURAN::MCKAYThu Oct 08 1992 21:438
    I'm not positive about this but I think Kane is on IR for Seattle
    and Blades was questionable/doubtful last week.  
    
    McGuire will be starting for Seattle and Hostetler for NYG.
    
    Kevin Mack should be back this week.

    Whats up with Brian Blades, I seen a note saying he was eligible to 
    come of injured reserve, but is he practicing or anything yet ????
275.52MIALJOHUB::MFFL::Straub...salsa, selzer...Thu Oct 15 1992 16:496
The newest Pro Football Weekly (10/18/92) doesn't say a word about Blades.
By the way, from an FFL perspective, Blades has never really been much of a 
factor over the course of a season.   Has he?  What's the most TDs he's 
gotten in one season? 

Dave
275.53DECWET::METZGERThu Oct 15 1992 17:2312
Blades will be back in a few weeks. However with the mighty Stan Gelbaugh
at Qb and the immortal Rusty Hilger backing him up don't count on Blades
catching anything more than this viscious cold I've been fighting for
2 weeks now.

Blades had a pretty good year last year but the Seahawks won't be going
anywhere for 2-3 years at least so don't count on him to score you too
many TD's.

Keith Jackson was actually reported in Sunday's paper (Boston Globe) to be 
injured for the Indy game, but, I did see him in uniform on Sunday and in 
some plays... not as many as you would expect, however.

Nothing else listed in the paper since then... no injury to KJ reported on 
ESPN either.

275.64JURAN::MCKAYThu Oct 29 1992 15:056
    I think you should play Jackson.  He's a lock for a couple
    of TD passes. 8*)
    
    More importantly, what is Ernie Jones listed as this week????
    
    Jimbo
275.65Jones & BrownSALEM::HARRIS_KMon Nov 02 1992 15:156
    Both Ernie Jones and Ivory Lee Brown were listed as out 2 weeks ago,
    Then this week they were not even in the injury report. I don't know
    if either one of them played, however, I know that neither one of them
    did anything in the game. I would guess they are both going on the IR.

 Walt we score alot differently then the traditional FFL leagues....
 Like Sterling Sharpe scored 20 for me this week. 11 points for
 11 catches 6 points for 160 yards (divide total yards by 25) and
 a 3 point bonus for going over 100 yards total.

 In traditional FFL my high is 76 also. This week I'm sure to everyone's 
 glee in here I beat JoJ_Not 61-54.....

	Yes the DAWGS are on the way back.  With the biggest victory of the 
	year, the DAWGS do the job on both sides of the ball.  The new offense
	seems to be the difference.  This win puts the DAWGS in a vurtual tie
	for the division lead.  After the game Coach HARD was asked what the 
	difference in the game was..."Well, I'll tell ya, we were very upset
	with the Owner voting on Friday.  In the locker room before the game,
	the team decieded that we would not take no for an answer.  Also, 
	memories of the first game against the 69ers attributed to the great
	effort.  I will, however, take credit for this victory.  The DAWGS
	will remain under lock and key for the remainder of the season."

	The Rim Riders were delt a devistating blow this week at the hands
	of the Sharks.  Before the game the Coach of the Rim Riders was 
	asked about his upcomming game....."I will be victorious and win!" 
        said the Coach.  After the game the Rim Rider Coach said..."I know..."
	The Rim Riders, in a four way tie for first, continues his slide
	since the big trade.

	Durring the game between the up and comming DAWGS and the down and
	out 69ers, a spectacular entrance by resigned Owner BIG BONE occurs
	at the end of the 1st quarter.  With the score 10 - 12 in favor of 
	the DAWGS, a military plane flew over the DAWG POUND.  Out of the 
	plane came several objects.  It was quite obvious that one of the 
	objects was none other than the DAWGS one time Owner, BIG BONE.  After
	a few seconds, the other objects started plumitting the stadium.  The
	crowd broke out into a frinzy as hundreds and hundreds of large bones
	rained down on the field.  As BIG BONE landed, the stadium errupted
	in cheers.  The DAWG players surrounded BIG BONE in a huddle and 
	started chanting the words "Fools Gold, Fools Gold".  The crowd went
	crazy and started a chant of their own "BIG BONE, BIG BONE"  With
	that, BIG BONE left the field and went to the Owners box seats.  The
	second quarter started...the DAWGS then scored 30 unanswered points.
	The 69ers left the DAWG POUND with nothing but "Fools Gold".

	As the 69ers went down in defeat, Coach ? goes to the phyco ward.
	Coach ? took probably the worst defeat in its franchise history.
	A humiliating defeat with the DAWGS playing without a quarterback.
	Coach ? looks to be thrown out of the league after his loss.  The
	Coach was seen this morning walking the halls, unshaven since the
	game, as he passed Coach Hard, Coach Hard was seen offering his
	hand but Coach ? kept shaking his head, drooling as he spoke -
	"What can I say, What can I say".  Coach ? refused to shake and
	was seen leaving the building.  Looks like a rebuild year......

	In the land of the living dead, Coach Coffin and his band of 
	deadbeats pull off a stunning victory against the Killer B's.
	The one point win is something to be treasured for Coach Coffin.
	At the end of the third quarter yesterday, with his team down,
	Coach Coffin was seen covering up his shirt as if saying he 
	had given up and did not want to be seen or noticed by other
	Owners.  Today, he was beaming with pride.  A bandwaggon jumper
	at best.  Coach Coffin may luck his way to the playoffs.  A
	DAWGNEWS reporter jurneyed to Coach Coffins office this week
	and viewed pictures of the Coaches women.  "This person, thing
	(Coach Coffin), is really crazy!  I couldn't believe my eyes!
	These pictures are of things not human!"  Now comes Zus.  He
	needs help.

	Coach K may be brought back down to earth.  With quarterback and
	runningback woes, this Coach is sweatting out the final 3 games.
	His quarterback has been knocked out, taken out and thrown to the
	side in recent weeks.  What will he do?  And his beat up running
	back is lucky to score at all any more.  With a one game lead 
	entering the final 3 weeks of the season he will be facing the
	toughest opponent in his schedual...lucky he doesn't play the DAWGS
	twice!  The pissbulls will make the playoffs with any luck and we
	may we a Superbowl matchup in week 13.

	The answer is obvious here.  Los Locos chokes even before the playoffs
	begin.  The Worm has his chance to drink from the cup of victory but,
	he doesn't know how to handle the cup.  Look for the Worm and the 
	omeagos to miss the playoffs this year, as in years gone by.  The
	Worm has tried his best, making deals throughout the league but none
	panning out.  Maybe next year....

	It is hard to say right now if the Saints are good enough this year.
	They have a slim chance but with a tough schedual ahead.  Next week
	will be the big test.  The coach of the Saints does too much coaching
	which will be the demise of the team.  It is the belief of this
	reporter, the Saints will make the playoffs because the worm will
	wiggle his way out of the picture.  Look for the Saints to be just
	that in two of their last 3 games, loseing the game in the middle
	to a team that just plan and simple, outclasses them....the DAWGS!
	The Aints will have to be named the comeback team of the League this
	year though, but, they will live up to their name.....they AINT going
	to the big game!

	This is still up in the air and there seems to be some movement on
	Little Red toward realizing Big Bone regrets his mistake.  Early
	this week, Little Red was confronted by Big Bone, although Big Bone
	said nothing, Little Red grinned and put her head down, continueing
	without saying a word.  Its hard to say what she will do with only
	3 weeks remaining.  The Sharks have not been elliminated from the 
	playoff picture yet but their hopes are slim.  On the other hand,
	the DAWGS are in the hunt and are hopping Little Red is willing to
	forgive and forget so that Big Bone can come back to his team before
	the playoff drive to the Superbowl begins.

	As everyone in the League knows, a petition was requested of the 
	League by the DAWGS.  The vote was a wash with no team owner giving
	the nod yes.

			Sharks - two Nope votes
			Pissbulls - Nope
			Los Locos - Nope
			Rim Riders - Nope
			Aints - Nope
			69ers - Nope
			Killer B's - Did not vote
			Rams - Did not vote
			Krazies - Did not vote

	It is not known why anyone but the 69ers would vote anything but 
	yes.  Seeing that it would be to the advantage of everyone in 
	Division 1 to vote yes, none did.  Why it made a difference to 
	anyone in Division 2 is beyond the scope of this writer.  It makes
	no sence.  No sence at all.  The smart thing to do was not to vote
	at all as the B's, Rams and Krazies did.  Coach Hard was asked about
	the petition - "All I can say is that a vote no last week will be a
	vote no in anything wanted by those team owners in the future.  I
	will never forget this day!"

	COACH K:  "It was a pittifull win, but, I'll take it."  This coach
			wanted to be sure the reporter viewed him chewing
			on his quarterback butt.  When Coach K was asked
			what he was doing, he said: "I'm chewing him a new
			butt hole."  Seems like a strange way of doing it.
			It should also be noted that Coach K did not in any
			way want to intimidate Los Locos.  Why?  This is
			unknown for sure.  Could there be something going 
			on between these two?  Later in the week, Coach K
			was heard mumbling "Only one more win"  As he walked
			by, you could see he had all ten fingers crossed....

	COACH COFFIN:  No need getting a statement from this deadbeat.  He
			says too much already!  

	COACH OF THE RIM RIDERS:  "I know" "I don't mind getting beat by 
					14 points, but to lose by 1 point
					is too much." "I can't stand losing
					to a woman!"

	LITTLE RED: Rguarding her win over the "over the edge" Rim Riders -
			"This is the way it should be" "I know he is taking
			it hard" Little Red had nothing else to say....

	MR NUTS: Reguarding his loss to the Pissbulls - "I'm not going to
			lose any sleep over it.  Why should it bother me?"
			This a quote from an Owner who wakes up at 11:58 pm
			to send in his roster.  Lose sleep?  I suggest this
			owner speaks with a fork tounge!

Minor nit, Denny.  Dizzy Gillespie is the trumpet player with the puffed
out cheeks, and the bell on his horn that points upward.....

275.99Sharp - 65 yard TD pass or 1 yard fumble recoveryJUNCO::WHITEHAIRTue Dec 08 1992 16:427
    
    	Kind of surprised nothing was said about Sharps 65 yard catch -
    fumble - TD.  In the FFL, the 65 yard TD gives you extra points.  If
    its a fumble recovery for a TD, then its just the regular 6.
    
    		BTW, the paper said its just a 65 yard TD.
    
275.100ROYALT::ASHEWhat people do... for money...Tue Dec 08 1992 16:453
    No one else gained posession, therefore... it's ruled a 65 yarder I
    think..
