Do you ever wonder what happened to those billboards outside Wrigley that said “Major League Baseball 8.1 Miles South”?
IN TUNE
Emboldened by their 20-17 exhibition victory in overtime against Buffalo, Bears players are expected to make some new demands of coach Dave Wannstedt and his training regimen after they persuaded him to lighten their load last week.
It is believed the players are adamant that two-a-day practices consist only of the “Macarena” in the morning and “YMCA” in the afternoon.
BAG IT
Dallas Cowboys coach Barry Switzer was busted at an airport after a loaded .38 caliber revolver was discovered in his carry-on baggage.
The third-degree felony is punishable by two to 10 years in jail and up to a $10,000 fine. The arrest comes as Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is trying to clean up the team’s image, which has been smeared by arrests and NFL suspensions.
Many people think the Cowboys will be looking for a new coach, much as they have since Jimmy Johnson left.
PINHEAD PATROL
Shawn Kemp told a newspaper that Seattle management’s lack of consideration for his needs led to his demand to be traded. Kemp said he plays for “respect,” not “dollars.”
Guess it was just a coincidence that Kemp started pitching a fit when other players got all those dollars.
RUN SUPPORT
The Denver Broncos played the Miami Dolphins in an exhibition game that was the season opener for ABC’s “Monday Night Football” announcing team.
The game was played in Mexico City.
Many people are hoping Dan Dierdorf drank the water.
