Earlier, running back Bobby Humphrey day or risk the chance of sitting out the rest of the season. Young missed most of the Seahawks' training camp because of a salary dispute. Young practiced with the Seahawks last week but refused to fly with the team to Denver and missed the game.

Because Young is under contract, the Seahawks could put him on a reserve list for the remainder of the season. Young would not be paid if put on the reserve list.

Kosar: "I'm obviously, from my standpoint, pretty disappointed.

The encouraging thing, though, is that the team is solid and has a lot of depth. This will be a true test of our team's character." Gary Danielson, who replaced Kosar in Sunday's game, will take over as quarter back in Kosar's absence, Schottenheimer said. HOUSTON OILERS QUARTER MOON. Quarter-back Warren Moon will be sidelined four to six weeks with a shoulder injury sustained in Sunday's victory over Indianapolis.

It just felt like a ton of bricks." SEATTLE SEAHAWKS THE LOST ONE. The team presented a letter to unhappy linebacker Fredd Young, ordering him to report back by Thurs U.S. Open AT NEW YORK MONDAY'S RESULTS MEN Singles: Third round Ivan Lendl (1) d. Scott Davis. 6-1, 6-4, 6-3; Jimmy Connors (6) d.

Graf, losing more games than she had in her three previous matches, beat Patty Fendick, 6-4, 6-2, to move to three victories of the first tennis Grand Slam since 1970.

Navratilova, who took a nap just before the match, appeared to be sleepwalking as she lost the first four games to Elna Reinach of South Africa. But the two-time defending champion awoke in time to win 10 consecutive games en route to a 6-4, 6-1 victory.

The New York Giants, compensating for the absence of All-Pros Law-, 'rence Taylor and Leonard Marshall, scored 27 consecutive points, including two defense-induced touch-, downs in the fourth quarter, to register a 27-13 victory over Washington before a crowd of 76,417 Monday night at Giants Stadium. The Giants rebounded from a listless first half, in which they scored just three points and failed to convert a third down, and completely reversed roles with the Redskins, scoring 10 points in the third quarter, 14 points in the fourth and shutting out Washington until a meaningless touchdown with 11 seconds left. "It was strange," said Redskins middle linebacker Neil Olkewicz.

"The momentum shift was weird. Tt was lilrp what wp Hiri tn TVnvpr in the Super Bowl." The Giants, who lost Taylor to a NFL-mandated drug suspension and Marshall to a groin injury, got the go-ahead touchdown when Gary Reasons blocked a punt by Steve Cox. Tom Flynn recovered and ran it in from 27 yards out. "I got the ball, the foot, the stom- ach I got all of it," Reasons said. Leading, 20-13, the Giants sealed 4Vta nrinriT urVton it-icirlo linaK'nrLQ? ii v- i lvi wiiv.il uijiuv ui Pepper Johnson knocked the ball loose from last year's Super Bowl MVP, quarterback Doug Williams.

Nosp tackle Jim Burt recovered and rumbled 39 yards for a score. "We won on defense," said Giants linebacker Harry Carson.

Ten, 20 minutes late. Nothing happened. Switzer's Rule was always in effect, no matter what the circumstance. If you were a great player who helped him look good, who helped him keep his job, you could do anything, and he let me do anything. Even though, deep down, I knew it wasn't the best for me.

Maybe if I had just told him I wanted his help, our relationship my career would have been different. helped me grow up. I had to do it all on my own and it took me, I'll admit, a long time. Switzer once said: "Brian Bos-worth is a great player. I like Bos-worth.

Brian Bosworth is a super football player. I'd like to coach a bunch of them. I just didn't like The Boz, the media egomaniac." The funny thing about that state- ment is that anybody that knows The King knows that the man is on me Aii-iime Aii-iLgo ive. He every bit my ego equal. If anything, he laid the foundation for my ego because he never tried to shape it at all.

I think I know whv that, is When he looked at me, Switzer saw someone he had always wanted to be. My lifestyle appealed to him the partier, the guy who does what he wants, says what he wants. In himself, he saw a guy who had to suck up to all sorts of people especially the new university president, Frank (my future Postmaster) Horton. He didn't like what he had become. He liked what I was.

My theory about Switzer is true. I know it because he told me one night. We were both out on the town. I was half-drunk. Switzer was blotto.

We ran into each other at an Italian restaurant. "Bozzzzzz!" he yelled at me across the room. "Coach," I said. "Bozzzzz!" he said again. "You sumbitch." He seemed happy.

Why are you calling me a sumbitch, Coach?" I was willing to bite. "Because, Bozzzzz. I wish I could say all those things you say and get away with it, but, dang, they'd just nail me to lb dang wall!" MIAMI DOLPHINS GETTING TOUGH. Coach Don Shula said his team escaped a tongue-lashing Sunday after the 34-7 loss because it was too bad for words. Shula: "If I would have gotten on them tough, I wouldn't have known where to begin.

And that's what I told them. I don't think you can get any lower than we were in the locker room." The team continued to search for help Monday and worked out free-agent safeties Chris Lockins and Lester Lyles and running back Marc Logan. Rockins and Lyles previously played for Cleveland and the New York Jets, respectively, and Logan was cut by the Browns in training camp. TAMPA BAY BUCS NOT MUCH FUN. Coach Ray Perkins can't speak for his entire roster, but he imagines it's not much fun playing for the team these days, especially after Sunday's 41-14 loss to Philadelphia.

Perkins: "Until you generate some kind of success and build a confidence factor, I think it's kind of hard to be fun." The Bucs have lost a league-high nine regular-season games in a row. Compiled from wire reports people that he belongs, trying to show people that he's made it, that he's not just some bootlegger's son. And he has done that. He'll go down as one of the greatest college football coaches in history. Only Knute Rockne and Frank Leahy, both of Notre Dame, have a higher career winning percentage than Switzer.

Nobody's won more national championships and no active coach has won more games. But sometimes he tries too hard to show people that the bootlegger's son has made it big. He's so insecure that only when he owns the whole kingdom, the whole town, does he feel safe. And that's where he and I started to have problems. I took over his town and he couldn't handle it.

Not that I was trying to take it over. The people were just handing it to me. He never figured that more people would come to an Oklahoma game to see the player than the coach, but it happened. Pretty soon people started saying, "Who runs Oklahoma football? Barry or Boz?" So when the steroid thing happened, followed by the T-shirt, and OU President Frank Horton called his office that day, you can see where Switzer's mind was. Here I was, a threat to his throne, and here was Horton on the other end with a way to get rid of me.

He caved in to his own insecurity. At that moment he was just another politician. Just another two-dimensional cardboard face in a sport coat with no depth to him. And that was too bad because there were a lot things I liked about Switzer and it's funny, but the more I'm away from him, the more I remember the good things than the bad. For one thing, Switzer always let me look and dress the way I wanted.

He'd always stick up for me on my hair. He was open-minded to look under my hair to see what was in my brain. He never tried to muzzle me or put a harness on me and he's the only one. Maybe he's forgotten some of the bad things about me, too. The last time I went back to Norman he was very friendly to me.

"I really like the way you've been handling everything this year," he said to me. "You're learning a lot and you're doing the right thing." You don't think he found out I was writing a book, do you? Naaaaaaah. SEPTEMBER 3rd to At A. I A' i CL. A I ASSOCIATED PRESS Bosworth: Coach Barry Switzer allowed me to be myself.

"Coach, you taught me you could do anything you want as long as you do one thing and that's win. And no one can bitch about you because you win." "Well, it doesn't work exactly like that. I'm not in your position. I've got to be a little more tactful with my job. Dang." Switz and I are a lot alike.

He's brash and outspoken. So am I. He likes to step on toes for fun. So do I. He's colorful and a partier.

So am I. But that was the problem. It's like those old Westerns. Norman, just warn't big enough for the two of us, pilgrim. And the bigger I got, the more jealous he got and the more dangerous our relationship got.

What you have to understand to start with is that Barry Switzer is an insecure person. We all are. But Switzer is more insecure than almost anybody I know. He had a rough childhood. His father was a bootlegger in Arkansas.

His mother committed suicide. So it seems like he's been living his whole life trying to prove to If 4 Excluding Special Orders HUNTING FISHING CAMPING ATHLETIC CLOTHING SHOES BALLS BATS GLOVES RACQUETS WATER SPORTS GAMES EXERCISE EQUIPMENT AND MORE!
