That first came up in March and was tabled but proponents were still unable to get a consensus. Extended NFL Europe for at least another season. SEAHAWKS DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR Fritz Shurmur is seriously ill and will take a leave of absence, Seattle Coach Mike Holmgren said.

"Fritz has been diagnosed with a serious illness that will require a period of extensive treatment." Holmgren said in a statement. "It is the hope that the treatment will allow him to resume his coaching duties sometime in the future." The Seahawks' public relations office refused to say what was wrong with the 66-year-old Shurmur or how long he might be out. Shurmur joined the Sea-hawks during the off-season after serving as the Green Bay Packers' defensive coordinator from 1994-98. He has coached 24 years in the NFL. The owners were shown the technology in which coaches will get two challenges a game, plus an unlimited number in the last two minutes of each half.

Awarded the 2003 Super Bowl to San Diego, replacing San Francisco, which will not have a new stadium ready. South Florida was the only other contender. San Diego Chargers owner Alex Spanos, who will be 80 then, said the city and team would host the "party of parties." It will be the third Super Bowl for San Diego, which had the game in 1988 and 1998.

Mayor Susan Golding said she hopes the vote means San Diego will now be in the regular rotation of Super Bowl sites, which includes Miami, Los Angeles and New Orleans.

The decision comes in response to the departure of two teams from Los Angeles and one each from Cleveland and Houston in 1995-96. The money will allow the teams to get a commitment for funds to build stadiums and to get them at lower interest rates than they might have. It's also not likely to cost the teams.

Money will be paid back from the 40 percent of club seat revenues that go to visiting teams. Unveiled the technology for its new replay system, to be reinstated this fall after seven years. ASSOCIATED PRESS Free kick. Manchester United's David Beckham shoots as Bayern Munich players jump to successfully defend their goal Wednesday. BARCELONA, Spain Two rapid-fire goals with the clock officially run out gave Manchester United the most prized title in European club soccer and a unique place in the sport's long history.

In an amazing finish, substitutes Teddy Sherihgham and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer scored during injury time as United beat Bayern Munich, 2-1, Wednesday for the Champions League title. "I can't believe it," United Manager Alex Ferguson said. "That's football. You never give in." It was the first top European championship for the storied Reds from England since 1968, and left them the first team from soccer's birthplace to win the league, FA Cup and continental champions titles in one season. Only three other clubs Celtic Glasgow in 1967, Ajax Amsterdam in 1972 and PSV Eindhoven in 1988 have swept the triple 100 Minutes fors19" PerMonth" CD this season, controlled most of the play after taking a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute on a free kick by Mario Basler.

But Sheringham and Solksjaer were inserted to shake things up, and they did just that, leaving Bayern players slumped and stunned on the field moments after Solksjaer's winning goal. "Teddy and Ole Gunnar repaid my faith in them," Ferguson said. From wire reports crown. Manchester also became the first nonchampion to win the Champions Cup.

Now, Sedrick Irvin finds himself on the same playing field as his famous cousin. The Detroit Lions fulfilled Sedrick rvin's childhood fantasy when they selected him in the fourth round of the NFL draft. i "This has been a dream since I was 5 years old," said Sedrick Irvin, a Miami native who played at Michigan State.

"You know how you go to class and they ask you what you want to be? I always told them I wanted to be in the NFL. I never wanted to be Donald Trump, Bill Gates or the President. "It hit me when my name was called at the draft. My dream had come true. God has really blessed ime." The 31 rookies in town for the NFL Rookie Pre-; miere find themselves contemporaries of their childhood heroes.

Darrell Green, Randall Cunningham, Cris Carter, Troy Aikman and Barry Sanders now are more than just famous faces who adorned the trading cards the rookies collected as kids. They are teammates and opponents. "For people to look up to me as I used to look up i to those other guys and still do it means a lot," Baltimore Ravens cornerback Chris McAlister said. Cleveland Browns quarterback Tim Couch has the same agent as his hero, Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana. Tom Condon arranged for Couch to have dinner with Montana a few weeks before the draft.

As the No. 1 pick and a guest on Late Night with David Letterman, Couch has become almost as recognizable as Montana, even though Couch has yet to play his first NFL game. During breaks between the trading-card company photo shoots at Walt Disney World's Wide World of Sports, Couch heard his name barked over and over by autograph seekers. Public relations representatives from National Football League Players Incorporated, which spon-; sored the event, gave the Class of 1999 high marks. The rookies granted every interview request and signed hundreds of autographs during the four-day event that ended Wednesday.

"That's part of being a role model," Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Akili Smith said. "Those kids are looking up to us and want us to sign autographs. I remember when I was a kid I used to always ask players in the big leagues if I could get their autographs. Sometimes they would stop and sign, and sometimes they wouldn't. Now, I'm in that position.

What decision am I going to make? Am I going to stop and sign an autograph or treat those kids like I was treated sometimes when I was a kid?"

NFL rookie Sedrick Irvin shows off his body during a trading cards photo shoot. Charles Barkley might not want to be a role model, but these rookies accept it as part of the game. In fact, they seem eager to disprove the stereotype that professional athletes have become elitists who have forgotten the fans.

"I think we do have a responsibility to be role models," Cleveland Browns receiver Kevin Johnson said. "Young kids today need positive role models in their life. You try to do the right things, live your life in a way where people can look up to you." Since being welcomed to the NFL, the rookies have started experiencing life changes. Their popularity has grown along with their bank accounts. No longer is their notoriety limited to Columbus, Ohio, or Athens, Ga.

In fact, at a recent outing at the Players Grill at Pointe Orlando, Hall of Fame running back Tony Dorsett had to share the floor with the newest crop of NFL players. "It's not like we're Michael Jordan or Janet Jackson or anything like that," Buffalo Bills cornerback Antoine Winfield said, "but we're coming into a lot of money and every little thing we do is going to be in the paper. You just have to be careful and do the right things." During lunch Wednesday, the rookies exchanged autographs on footballs used as props for the photo shoots. And when they open packets of football trading cards later this summer, there alongside the Darrell Greens and the Randall Cunninghams will be the Champ Baileys and the Daunte Culpeppers. The collectors have become the collected.

"It's kind of weird," Pittsburgh Steelers running back Amos Zereoue said. "I used to collect trading cards. You just never visualize yourself being one of those guys on your own card."

This innovative approach to selling used vehicles will make it easy and quick for anybody in the market for a good used vehicle to get a great car, van or truck at a very low price with no hassle. "Wholesale buyers will be on site to take trade-ins during the sale." Mr. Feaver said, "We also have four business managers who will help buyers arrange low-cost financing. We've got over $7.7 Million Dollars in inventory to choose from.

We want to remind everyone that this is a one-day sale only. When our inventory has been reduced, we will remove the sale prices and return to normal operations. Since we are a local business we would like to give back to the community," Mr. Sadek said. "We would rather allow local people to buy these overstocked vehicles than wholesale them at an auction." "Pre-registration will begin on Friday, May 28th at sharp." Any questions about this sale, contact Terry Feaver at 407-857-5700.

Orlando, FL Ed Sadek, General Sales Manager of World Chevrolet, just announced plans to hold a five dollar used car, van and truck sales event on Saturday, May 29th, 1999. According to Used Car Director, Terry Feaver, record sales from the last few months have resulted in an overstock of trade-ins. "In the last three months our sales have increased at a tremendous Feaver said, "Now, we must reduce the number of cars, vans and trucks on our used lot to a more manageable number. "Even all of our seven sister dealerships are sending us their inventory, too! Chevys, Cadillacs, Infinitis, Fords, Mitsubishis, Acuras, Oldsmobiles. This is going to be huge! I would be shocked if we don't blow out at least 225 cars." During this five dollar sale every used car, van and truck will be sold for thousands below its original price.

In fact, cars that normally sell for five to eight thousand dollars will be sold for three to five thousand," Mr. Feaver said. "Our customers will find these prices even lower than at wholesale auctions." Auction bidding often inflates the true value of a car so you pay more. Here every car is on sale, first come, first served and no bidding. It's the perfect opportunity to get a good quality used car at the lowest price possible, including cars for only five dollars.

All cars will be on display at World Chevrolet located at 5600 Lee Vista Orlando, FL. MXV4 PLUS please cm mm LOW PRICES!
