120 Poogrikeepsle Jowrnol i Thursday, August 23, 1986 8C Poughkeepsie Journal Thursday, August 28, 1986 Cesario bucking the odds By Rick Carplnlello Special to th Journal HEMPSTEAD. L.I When you talk about longshots, you should start with Sal Cesario. a rookie tackle with the JeU. Why? lie wasn't recruited as a high school football player. He walked on to the football team of tiny.

Division II Cal Poly San Luis Obisbo after getting Into the college on good grades. He made his own highlight 'film (the school had none) and sent It to seven or eight NFL coaches. He was drafted In the 12th round by the Jets, the 328th of 333 player spicked in the '86 draft He survived the first two cuts, despite weighing only 260. and outlasted two othr tackles, including No. 2 draft pick Doug Williams and No.

7 Bob White. How are those for odds? Still, Cesario has to make one more cut. when the Jets trim from 50 to 45 players over the weekend. But first comes the Jets' final pre season game, in Philadelphia Thursday, when Cesario gets another chance to buck the odds. The homemade highlight film, produced by and starring Sal Cesario, was lngenius.

Cesario had impressed Cal Poly SLO coach Jim Sanderson with films of his high school days, when he was a 200 pound tight end at Bellarmine Prep in San Jose, Calif. So he took all the available clips he could get his hands on from his Cal Poly SLO career, rented a viewer, and spliced it' into a fuzzy, black and white, 10 15 minute video during a four day period around Christmas. GostinMU is Ryan's target (AP) This week's subject for Buddy Ryan is Mark Gastineau. TTJass rusher. said Ryan, who has spent his first six months as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles debunking nearly everyone in sight ranging from his ex boss, Chicago Bears Coach Mike Ditka.

to the usually sacrosanct Don Shula, the Miami Dolphins' coach. So it's only natural that Gastineau is the subject for this week the Eagles entertain the New York Jets and their All Pro defensive end Thursday night at Veteran's Stadium. McEnroe 4Afon't be the same Continued from page 1C tried to be conscientious about practicing and training and fatherhood. And where did it get him? bounced out of the U.S. Open, practically his home court, by a no name in the first round.

Without the gift. McEnroe Is just another losing tennis player. And a rather scrawny one at that. McEnroe probably won't be back, not as he was. He may get his licks in another tournament or two.

but he won't dominate tennis again. And even he knows he will never get away with his outrageous court behavior again. Tennis officials may overlook 5henanigansfromwinners who are big attractions, but once you're no longer on top. they come down pretty hard. Ask Ihe Nastase or Jimmy Connors, both of whom found the tennis establishment less tolerant in the twilight of their careers than in their brash halcyon days when they could put fannies in the seats.

McEnroe's passing is the end of an era. and It is hoped the effect sinks down to all levels of tennis The boorish, ill mannered "gamesmanship" (Gamesmanship don't you love that euphemism for poor sports man ship?) is fading along with McEnroe. The new crop of younger players, Lendl, Becker, Wilander, and all those Swedes, want nothing to do with it. Those players have been called colorless automatons, without the emotions or genius of McEnroe, It's true, they do not have McEnroe's gift. Most of them have to work to achieve what to McEnroe came naturally.

They scream less at the umpires and they don't say as many outrageous things in interviews and they don't date Hollywood celebrities. Hey, you can't have everything' Actually, McEnroe seemed so interesting because we knew so about him. In the end. we knew more about him than we cared to know Other players have lives, too. We can get to know them Columnists and commentators ind fans have been saying that tennis is boring without McEnroe, that the game needs him.

In fact, we haven't tried to look any farther Now we have to, because Mao is gone. For tennis" sake, there better be somebody else out there to capture the public's fancy If John McEnroe were all there were to tennis, it would be a pretty poor excuse for a sport Great athlete that he was. he was always a pretty poor excuse for a sportsman IsssLaIsH ssssssV ssssssssll Mli Ptt i ft HklLsssssssssssssssssPisssssssssssssslssssi sssssssssW s3k rtf rt 1 SSSSSSSBM, yl BVBSSkl BSSSSSSSSrUSv Sfl sssssssssfi VwVmV Aisssssss) Vr vtlI BlSSSSSSSUtBHL HLdLssssssssn.

Morris was paid 110,000 last season. This season, the final year of a four year contract, lie is to get $117,000.

Morris' agent. Tom Toner, has said. Morris Is asking the Giants tor new four year deal, worth S3 million. The club reportedly has offered him J1.8 million for four years. Morris reported to camp with the veterans and left a couple of days later.

He returned after two days, but was not required to participate in contact drills. The exemption ended Just before the Giants preseason opener with the Atlanta Falcons. Crake said the team will have to decide what to do next week, after the commissioner's exemption expires, II Morris still hasn't settled Ms contract dispute with the team.
