	Yesterday recently acquired LB Huey Richardson arrived at Redskins
Park for meetings, a press conference and his first practice. I was not
there, but shortly after this ex-Steeler arrived, I'm sure that something
like the following could have occured:

Annonymous Coach #1: "I'm glad that Richardson kid finally got here. He's going
	to be a big help around here."

Annonymous Coach #2: "Can you imagine the Steelers letting a first round draft
	choice go for a seventh round pick next year?"

AC #1: "Well, that's Casserly for you. Now that we've got all 48 players
	here...uh oh!"

AC #2: "What's the matter?"

AC #1: "We've got 48 players now and we're only supposed to have 47. You know
	that final cut was Monday."

AC #2: "Oh, boy. You think anyone will notice?"

AC #1: "Of course somebody will notice. If we were the Colts, maybe, or the
	Bucs, but we're last year's Super Bowl Champions. Everyone will be
	watching what we do. We open against Dallas on Monday night. How can
	someone not notice? 

AC #2: "Yeah, that Jimmy Johnson. He's a good coach, he might see Richardson
	standing around on the sidelines. What are we going to do?"

AC #1: "Perhaps if he only wears street clothes, like Millen did last year,
	and stands quietly behind Mann or Jacoby..."

AC #2: "No, that trick never works. Remember last year against the Falcons,
	the Commissioner's Front Office rep spotted Hammer on Atlanta's side
	right away. How could he miss Richardson?"

AC #1: "You're right. Well, I guess this just means that someone will have to
	be cut. And you know, that means he'll probably be snatched up by the
	Cowboys or the Eagles. Too bad no one has an injur...

Suddenly a rather piercing scream of anguish echoes down the hall from the
direction of the weight room. The two men move quickly toward the source of
the haunting noise.

AC #1: "What was that?"

AC #2: "You don't think that one of our young and promising players has
	suddenly developed a Mysterious Injury* which is undetectible by any
	means known to science, but still plagues him all season until next
	year's training camp?"

AC #1: "Of course not. Do you think the Commissioner's office would accept
	that?"

The door to the weight room swings open to reveal James Jenkins, a young and
promising tight end grimacing in pain, holding a mysterious part of his
body.

AC #2: "Look, isn't that James Jenkins, a young and promising tight end
	prospect holding a mysterious part of his body because he's
	developed a Mysterious Injury* which is undetectible by any means
	known to science?"

AC #1: "Well, I'll be damned. You were right. What exactly is he holding?"

AC #2: "I don't know. It could be an arm, it could be a leg. All I know is
	that whatever it is it sure won't show up on the IR Imaging scan we
	do later today.

AC #1: "What a strange turn of ciurcumstance. Imagine Jenkins getting injured
	the same day that Richardson reports to the team."
