Sure, it would have been great. But when people come up and say, 'Geez, I'm so sorry you never got I say I don't really care. "What I wanted out of football I got: The competition. The camaraderie. The emotion.

That roller coaster ride. That's what I wanted. "I wanted to go out there and compete with my compatriots. I wanted to win, I wanted to lose, I wanted everything. Just to experience it." But passion has a price.

Four years shy of "middle age," Golic's knees ache constantly and will probably require surgery. His gnarled hands also hurt because the connective tissue and the tendons have been twisted around so much over the years.

Someone recently handed him a script for a movie with Russell Means, the Indian activist. Although Golic hasn't finished reading it, he is intrigued. In other words, this Northeast Ohio boy figures to be an Angeleno for the foreseeable future. For one thing, that's where the work is.

For another, that's where his overpriced house is. Golic sunk a hefty hunk of change into a Manhattan Beach home that has plunged in value since he bought it in the late '80s. "In fact," he jokes, "I think there was a story in the L.A. Times: 'Golic Buys House, Market He does return to Cleveland frequently to see his parents and a daughter from an unsuccessful marriage. Often, he is accompanied on those trips by Ms.

Baughman. And whenever she visits Northeast Ohio, she is astounded at the excitement generated by her pal's presence. Judging by the fan reaction, she says, "you'd think he was Al Pacino or something." Not quite. But give him time. HILLEL'S WEST WILBETH there thinking, 'God, I nailed that! I couldn't have done it any and it may not be what they're looking for.

"It has nothing to do with you. It's no reflection on your ability. It's just not what they were looking for. "When you've been raised the other way, it makes it kind of difficult to deal with." His work ethic hasn't gone to waste, though. Ask him about his early shows and he complains about the lag time between giving a performance and seeing the results.

"I couldn't sit there for three weeks and wait (until the show aired). I had to know. So after the first week, I had my manager come in with a VCR and tape the direct feed from all four cameras (beamed into the dressing rooms on a four-way split screen)." That way, Golic was able to critique himself immediately just as he had in football. And he liked what he saw. "I realized pretty quickly that I was picking it up.

I mean, I wasn't De Niro, but then again, this isn't some feature-length movie." Passion play s6 First Game $5 Second Game $4 All Others over and realize his shoulder has slipped out of joint. So he sits up and shoves it back in. Such are the joys of 13 years in the National Football League. Testing waters Everybody assumed that, once he finally retired, Golic would be And now here he is, working with a bunch of pampered, teen stars-tumed-young adults at Sun-set-Gower Studios on Sunset Boulevard. While growing up in the Cleveland suburb of Willowick, where his parents still live, Golic's dreams ran more toward Canton, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, than Hollywood.

We're talking about a guy who never even tried out for a high school play. The sum total of his preparation for an acting career: "I answered the phone." Fast start The first calls came even before he retired. He appeared in Good Advice with Shelley Long, then grabbed a high-profile guest shot on Coach, where his portrayal of a steroid-wracked, Lyle Alzado-type football player won critical praise. Yet despite that rapid rise, Golic remains very much a greenhorn. While he was rolling around in huge stadiums from coast to coast, his colleagues were taking acting classes and learning their trade in little community theaters.

Fellow cast members, in fact, refer to him as "The Rookie." "Oh really?" he responds with mock anger. "They never say that to my face. I refer to them as 'the Little Among the punks is Mark-Paul Gosselaar, a longtime teen heartthrob who plays Zack. "We kick him around, berate him, don't let his hopes get too high," says Gosselaar of Golic. "Actually, he's done great.

We all love the guy. He's got a great heart. He's gonna do real well." Still, there is a price to pay when you change professions after 13 years. Notes Golic: "All the guys I went to school with are now vice presidents of companies because they've been doing their jobs for 14, 15 years. And all of a sudden I have no job skills unless you want me to come in and kick somebody's butt." Well, there is a place for that, you know.

The original version was a smash hit on Saturday mornings. But the Saved By the Bell clan apparently was not ready for prime time at least not directly across from ABC's youth-oriented, 13th-ranked Full House on Tuesdays. That means Golic, who just this season landed a regular role as the resident adviser, likely will be back in the job market. Little wonder. The series is so lame that his aforementioned love bunny sits in the darkened grandstands during a rehearsal and belittles the dialogue.

When the script calls for Screech (Dustin Diamond) to lose his Mr. Potato Head, Baughman whispers, "Mr. Potato Head? Give me a break! What college kid would have a Mr. Potato Head doll?" Good point. But Golic is hardly panicking.

His options as usual seem almost limitless. A cut above As longtime Browns fans can attest, this guy was absolutely born for the spotlight. He is a huge hulk of a man who doubles as a quote machine a machine programmed with lightning -quick wit and an off-the-wall, self-deprecating sense of humor. We always knew he would be different from all those jocks who fade into the woodwork three months after retirement. Still, there is something jarring about the realization that Mr.

Blue Collar now reports to work four blocks from the intersection of Hollywood and Vine. We're talking about the ultimate grunt, a player who, as he once put it, spent Sunday afternoons in a "frog-squatting-in-the-woods stance." While all eyes were focused elsewhere on those fancy-pants quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers Golic carried out his grungy nose-tackle assignment of knocking down other faceless linemen so his linebacker teammates could make tackles.

He has sent a resume to Fox, which will be hiring six more announcing teams for its NFL games this fall. But that appears to be a fallback position.

Listen to him talk about his days with the Browns (1982 to 1988): "More than anything else, I can remember walking out on that field on game day. Pick a game it didn't matter. Every time I came out of that dugout and ran onto the field to be introduced and the fans were going wild. His voice trails off. A faraway look comes over his face.

Did it give you the chills? "Yeah," he replies. "Yeah. And I get chills now just thinking about it. "I've got a big box of newspaper clippings and photos that I pull out once in a while, and I get chills just looking at the stuff because it brings back those memories."
