The only way I can see them making a TY> serious attempt to keep Lofton is to forget about Glavine. Well, if they are unable to sign Lofton then the trade was for what: Grissom-Justice for Embree? Looks like a steal for the Indians to me. I know they wanted to unload salaries in an effort to resign Maddux and Glavine, but I have read that Maddux would like to play a little closer to home in his final years. So signing him may be probable at best. Not really sure that the Braves farm system is as well stocked as it used to be either. But whatever the outcome the '90s have been great to longtime Braves fans like myself who suffered through the 70s-80s. ... He's dead, Jim.

While I was there he started talking about this idiot who now covers the NFL for them, T.J. Simers (I'm guessing that T.J. stands for Toe Jam). I read 3 weeks of his report and came away with the impression that there aren't many QBs today that he likes and he certainly has a strange sense of "worth." An example of that last statement was his diatribe against the Cowboys and their willingness to sign Moose while letting Boniol get away (His take was that Moose was a buddy of Aikman's and Boniol wasn't so that's why the Pokes kept him and not Boniol). If you look at what Boniol did last year, there's nothing that he did that was so exceptional that he couldn't be replaced by another kicker unless it came to the length of his kickoffs. Dallas didn't score much but most of his field goals could have been made by a lot of kickers in the league. When Dallas goes out looking for another kicker this year, expect them to make their final decision about who to keep based on that person's kickoff yardage. Should Dallas' offensive line stay healthy this year, their kicker should be getting more extra points than field goals and Moose's blocking ability will be more important inside the 20 than Boniol's ability to make a 29-yard gimmee (Boniol attempted 96 extra points and 57 field goals in his first 2 seasons and 25 extra points and 36 field goals last year). Don't get the impression that I'm going after him because of what he's said about the Cowboys because he's said things about other teams that has me laughing. It makes me realize that I haven't missed a thing when I gave up reading TSN several years ago. If only I had the money to start a competing publication. TSN has fallen quite a bit from what it used to be. --- TrekEd 1.00 * Origin: On the 7th day, God created the Dallas Cowboys (1:170/1701) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 114 SPORTS Ref: E4E00000 Date: 04/08/97 From: OSCAR VELASCO Time: 10:43pm \/To: RICK FOSTER (Read 0 times) Subj: NCAA MARCH MANESS -> Tar Heels fan here as well:). But they were beaten by a better team -> in the final four. They had their chances to win the game but -> Shammond Williams poor shooting allowed Arizona to pack the middle -> and stop the inside game. Maybe '98 will be the year... At least the team that beats them won the NCAA championship so I guess I wasn't really dissapointed. Well, next year I guess. :) TTYL Rick!!!
