     I recently entered a fantasy league and told several of my friends about
it. They were so up for it, that we decided to go ahead and start up our own 
league!! (Thanks, delarocque@ncsu.edu !:)

     Right now, there are only five of us, but this alone would be enough. How-
ever, nobody can make a live draft (oh well), so we are doing all of the 
drafting by list submission anyway!! This now means we can accomodate e-mail
participation.

     All that is required is an interest and a draft list by 2 Sept 92. (my fri-
ends are procrastinators (sp) also!!) Please send e-mail to me to indicate an
interest, and I will e=mail you all the appropriate info on scoring, draft, 
trades, etc. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

		I say good riddance to "Dr. Sulk", Leon Seals.  He was constantly run over
during his career at Buffalo, it's good to see him gone.  This trade also
indicates that Bruce is healthy, because Bill Polian is no idiot and he would
not have dumped Seals if Bruce's health was a question.
	   But the question is now who will replace Seals?  My bet is Phil Hansen, who
continues to get better each week.  He may have been starting ahead of Seals,
anyhow.  But does anyone know who the other players on the line are (besides NT
Jeff Wright)?  I know of Mark Pike and Mike Lodish, but neither strikes fear in
the hearts of QBs.  Pike is there for special teams, and Lodish is not a great
pass rusher. Will the Bills pick up another D-lineman?  

	The release of Derrick Brownlow is very interesting.  It indicates that
Bennett will be used a lot inside, like last year, and that Maddux and 53
(forgot his name) will get a lot of time inside.  Bennett was dominating when
he played inside, so this bodes well for the D.

Date: 4 Sep 92 14:01:58 GMT
Organization: GTE Laboratories

LB David Griggs signed with the Dolphins yesterday, ending the last
holdout and getting all of the Dolphin players into camp before the
regular season begins.

I guess Griggs finally saw the handwriting on the wall with the
performance of Marco Coleman and decided that he'd better get in
quick.

I don't think it will make much difference, because I think Don Shula 
will start Coleman over Griggs and put Cox on the other side. But if
Coleman doesn't perform well, maybe Griggs will be back in the
starting lineup. 

Either way, it's nice to have the last holdout in camp.

OK, you're partly right.  I remembered there was an expansion team in
Florida, but I forgot it was Jacksonville and not Orlando.  However, there
was indeed an Orlando Renegades--formed when the Washington Federals moved
after the second season.  So yes, the Jacksonville Bulls were the expansion
team, but there was an Orlando a year later.

Subject: NFL Realignment
Date: 27 Aug 92 04:01:34 GMT
Organization: Georgia Institute of Technology


People have mentioned realigning in football, and I happen to be opposed to it.
The main reason people always cite for realignment (especially in MLB) is the
reason of geography.  It doesn't make sense to have Atlanta in the West, etc.
So what?  If anybody actually gets headaches from not being able to reconcile
a map with sports divisions, then they're just taking it too seriously.  In the
NFL, the only teams that are really screwed up are in the NFC.  There might
actually be good reasons for swapping a few NFC teams.  The AFC though is fine 
the way it is.  There are alot of great rivalries that would be broken up with
realignment.  While there is a good case for swapping Atlanta for Phoenix to
reduce travel and so on, there is really nothing to be gained by swapping
say, Pittsburgh for Indianapolis, based solely on the Lat/Long of the cities.
Not only would that break up great rivalries in the AFC Central, but there 
might actually greater travel time, at least driving, from Indy to Cleveland
than from Pittsburgh.  One thing that throws a wrench into the works is
NFL expansion.  There are ALOT of rumors about expanding and what cities would
or wouldn't get teams, but if say Baltimore and St. Louis (just an example) 
were to get teams, the available spots are NFC West and AFC Central.  The same
people who don't like the current alignment, most likely wouldn't like to see
Baltimore in Central or especially St. Louis in West.  As for if the NFL would
implement realignment, if they expand, that gives each team in the (now) four
team divisions basically two free wins for the first year or so.  I doubt these
owners would want to realign and give up the easy game that would result.  Also
these owners include "old guard" ones like Art Modell and Dan Rooney as well as
"new and younger" ones like Eddie DeBartolo Jr., Rankin Smith Sr., and Georgia
Frontiere.  Between all of them, they could probably muster the votes to kill
realignment if they wanted to.  What does everybody else think?

They actually rotated the starters this week (left to right, that is) Gray and

Duncan, Harris, Jeffires, and Harris would be my guess.

Bernstine is occasionally lined up as slot receiver, like Thurman
Thomas. I have yet to see him line up at the TE spot. The knock on
him [by Henning] was that he didnt block well. 

He is primarily a RB. And that he will be this year. I would put him
down as a RB, whatever be his 'official' status.

but based on the teams (other than the Eagles) you mentioned above:
	which one have a probowl center ?
	which of the 2 DE (in their 3-man front) has the

Well I heard.... he will get between 7 to 8 million over three one year 
contracts.  If anyone at his position get a contract paying more than
his, his contract will change to make him the highest paid.  But I also
heard that in order to get the raise, he must be still considered the
best WR that year.

A very interesting contract I must say.....

Will Furer beat out Paul Justin for the third-string QB.  He has got a gun
and if he had the scrabling ability of Jim Harbaugh, he would be starting.
He impressed the coaches with a couple of scoring drives.  He has the size
and arm to be a good QB, now, he just has to gain some experience.  That 
will not happen unless the Bears start losing or winning big.  Jimmy has
looked real good at QB and is durable.  BUT, can the Bears win with a Big
10 QB?????

We will see!!!!
