The Cowboys placed Scott on its nonfootball illness list Oct. 29. Scott was sent to a treatment facility in the Philadelphia area about two weeks ago for testing and counseling. He was released Friday after nine days when tests were
inconclusive. . . . In an informal poll, the St. Louis Cardinals were asked which of their likely new homes they favord. The results: Phoenix 17, Jacksonville, Fla., 16, Baltimore 9 and Memphis 3. . . . Plainclothes officers, meanwhile, accompanied Cardinals owner William V. Bidwill to Sunday`s game because of a threat on Bidwill`s life, police said. Lt. John M. Letz, commander of the police intelligence unit, said a threat to Bidwill`s life was relayed by television station KSDK. The station`s assignment editor, David Lamb, said he received a call Saturday night from a man speaking in a low voice who stated that Bidwill would be killed during Sunday`s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Busch Stadium. ”He said, `Mr. Bidwill will be shot,` I couldn`t hear him too well, so I asked him to repeat what he said and he did, speaking louder,” Lamb said. ”It caught me off guard. It was a little bizarre.” Bidwill, against whom no life-threatening attempts were made, occupied a box next to that of Tampa Bay owner Hugh Culverhouse at Sunday`s game instead of the one he usually uses, Letz said. ”I do not know the gentleman, so I have nothing to compare with,” Letz said when asked if Bidwill seemed frightened. ”But he seemed, really, to be watching the game and he didn`t seem nervous.” Police afterward accompanied Bidwill to his home. . . . And finally, the former co-owner of the USFL`s Arizona Outlaws says he has put together a group of local businessmen who will attempt to buy the Cardinals and move the team to Phoenix. Bill Tatham Jr. said his group
”is in the process of formalizing an offer.” Sources said the Tatham group`s offer to Bidwill involves a basic investment of approximately $65 million. Tatham said there has been no indication from Bidwill that the club is for sale. But sources told The Phoenix Gazette that although Bidwill might not be willing to sell a controlling interest in the Cardinals, it is possible he might consider selling a piece of it that included an option to buy. Tatham, who owned the Outlaws of the defunct USFL with his father Bill Sr., unsucessfully tried to buy the Cardinals from Bidwill two years ago and move them to Arizona State University`s Sun Devil Stadium in suburban Tempe. The Outlaws had a 15-year lease on the stadium.
