Condensed from the Washington Post, July 31, 1992:

CARLISLE, Pa., July 30 - Unsigned quarterback Mark Rypiens has lowered
his asking price twice in the last two weeks, and is now seeking a deal
believed to be worth about $3.7 million a year in base salary instead
of his original $4.45-million-a-year proposal.

But the Washington Redskins, holding firm in their most recent offer
of about $12 million over four years, say that while Rypien has lowered
his base salary demands, the deal he now is seeking includes an incentives
package that could raise his salary between $200,000 and $800,000 a
season and is still far more than they're willing to pay, sources said.

While the gap has narrowed somewhat, the two sides still don't appear
to be close enough to continue serious negotiations.

"At this point in time, we're at an impasse," General Manager Charley
Casserly said.  He declined to discuss the negotiations.

Rypien, who is in Spokane, Wash., working out with his brothers, wants
to make around $4 million in 1992, second only to Dan Marino's $4.5
million.  The Redskins say he deserves to be on the rung below Marino,
with Joe Montana ($3.25 million), Boomer Esiason ($3 million) and Jim
Kelly ($2.864 million).

Any news on Greens philosophy would be appreciated.	
Is Rich going to be able to throw to two of the best wide-outs in the 
buisness.  I realize C.Carter had 72 last year...but A.C. needs the ball in 
is hands.  Is Craig still with the VIkes?  Is he the MAN or will Terry Allen 
get a majority of the carries.

The variable that determines success in football pools should be the
ability to pick the outcome of football games accurately.  Weighted
systems should not be necessary to determine this.

	I feel I should say something at this point because I was the one
who originally suggested the ranking system to Dave.  I felt this would be
the next best thing to the spreads.

	I still feel that using the spreads would be the best way to go for
the following reasons: 

	1)  After reviewing some of last year's game weeks it would have
	been very easy to 'just pick the winners'.  For example, how many
	poeple would have picked the 'Skins over about anybody last year.
	Now what if you gave the Browns 13.5 or Detroit 13, would everyone
	who picked the 'Skins in example A still picked them?

	2)  Without using spreads, it can make it diffcult for someone whos
	team will not have a prayer in hell of winning that week picking
	them.  But give them 14 point and then it is easier to pick your
	favorite team. 

	3)  It's the only way to seperate the men from the 'Boys :-).

My thanks also to Don Mocnik for putting out more Browns news than any
newspaper source I can imagine.  It's almost as good as being at
camp.

I think I'll save my predictions until the beginning of the season.
However, the division race is already shaping up to be pretty interesting
this year.  The Oilers chances of winning the division are great as
long as Moon plays.  If he misses significant playing time this fall,
for whatever reason, then I agree that the Browns have a good chance
to finish on top of the rest of the AFC Central.  Cleveland will be
helped by the deterioration of Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, although
they will still be tough to beat, especially in their home parks.
The division games are always tough, no matter the relative skill
level of the teams.

I agree with just about everything Jeff said in his posting.  Even if
the offensive line is able to create a solid running game, I think
the lack of experience in the receiver corps is likely to keep the
Browns from scoring much.  It'll be interesting to see how Michael
Jackson does this year if Slaughter isn't around.  In fact, I hope
someone does emerge from the WR group.  That might be the only way
to get Slaughter to sign.  I won't miss Metcalf, either.

I'm still concerned about the defense as well.  I'm sure Belichick
will get as much out of them as he can.  Some of the questions I have
are: What kind of speed will there be in the secondary and at linebacker
(we got killed on a couple of occasions last year)?  I still think
the pass rush needs work.  Perry's injury throws more risk into the
picture, although I think that as long as his injury is not too
serious, he'll probably be in playing shape very soon after returning.

Harry Sydney, the 9ers special teams captain, and back up fullback

Harry has: Good running skills; collegiate quarterbacking experience;
and demonstrated leadership.  Darin could be the new "Harry Sydney",

Especially following the lives of people they don't even know.  I am

Just to add what I've heard 22 of the vets tied Oglesby to a tree for about 30
minutes prior to curfew just to let him know how much they appreciate him. And
the car he reported stolen was actually Richmond Webbs new BMW. My pals in Miami
tell me that Coleman and Vincent received new offers from the Dolphins yesterday
and that Vincent and Miami were about 200K bucks away from a deal. Colemans
agent is meeting with Jones today with the possibility of a signing as early as
this afternoon or tomorrow. I sure hope this situation gets settled now, the
defense needs the coverage capability of Vincent and the QB pressure ability of
Coleman. That's all for now.

It is especially unnecessary to put his name in the subject line.  If you have

Since I switched to xvnews, I no longer use kill files, but here is my old
one from r.s.f.pro (names have been changed to protect the guilty!):

THRU 22324
/From:.*JERK-1/h:j
/From:.*JERK-2/h:j
/From:.*NOT-RELEVANT/h:j

This kills off all articles from JERK-1, JERK-2, and NOT-RELEVANT.  NOT-RELEVANT
wasn't somebody I objected to, he just posted many articles and I was not
interested in most of them.  He got put into my kill file simply so I could
cut down on the volume I had to read.  Note that this is an old file and none of
the people in it have posted in quite a while, so don't go trying to guess
who they are :-).

Now for the explanation:  The THRU line is maintained by rn, so don't insert one.
You can change them manually if you want, but you should leave it alone.  The other
lines are of the form

/regular-expression/h:j

and the "h" is the key -- it tells rn to search the entire header for the
regular-expression, not just the subject line (the default).

Before the r.s.f.pro and r.s.f.sollege split, we had both pro and college
articles in one group.  Some polite college football posters would put the
word "college" in the Keywords: line, so that those of us who were interested
in the pro game only could use the line

/Keywords:.*college/h:j

or, more cleverly,

/Keywords:.*ollege/h:j

Which would match "college" and "College" (or even "blah blah zollege").

Hope this helps, and feel free to email me with any questions.
