I win both office pools last week (I blush modestly) and the NFL quits Come to think of it someone did say "The day Green wins the pool they'll fold football" I was figuring masking my winnings this season which I had calculated to run in the neighborhood of $15 or $20 before tax and buying my wife something nice to make up for all the Sunday afternoons I didn't go to craft shops with her or get rid of the magazines and newspapers that had accumulated on the desk or plant something Now I have to figure another reason for not doing something domestic My excuse before was that it was my job to keep up with what was going on in the sport If she caught me sleeping on the couch while the Redskins were scoring the go-ahead touchdown against the ynsi) Cowboys I explained that I 40A5 was resting my eyes and pondering the significance of all this in the scheme of ce I '9 things She would suggest that I id 7-4 't go outside and ponder the -'tt: significance of the leaf rake -4 or a bag of plant food in the scheme of things I think she was onto me Now I'm defenseless But let the play- Dorsett ers and owners know this if I have to buy one wicker basket this season or plant one chrysanthemum I'll never feel the same about the NFL I don't feel so hot about the league now I pick up the paper and see a photograph of Tony Dorsett who makes a zillion dollars a year shouting and shaking his fist at the grunts who are crossing a picket line to grab a few lousy bucks and one more chance of playing in the NFL Heart-warming Go practice your fumble Dorsett I'm not anti-labor I am labor If the players want to picket OK this is America but they can make their point by simply being there Trying to keep these B-teamers out of practice facilities waving empty shotguns (cute huh?) slashing tires like common goons at a dock strike or just harassing them as Dorsett did defies belief The A-teamers have to know that these scrubs are no threats to their jobs Imitation teams playing imitation games won't wash Soon probably the stars will be back in uniform We'd like for our heroes to bring some dignity with them when they return not fritter it away on a picket line We understand steelworkers getting angry about an extra two and a quarter an hour that could make life a little easier for their families We don't understand well-off guys who show their faces on magazine covers showing their fannies on picket lines My barber tells me that everyone who comes into his shop is on the side of the owners They have no sympathy for people making an average yearly salary of $230000 busting up a sport for more money I take that to represent the feeling of the general public I believe what I hear in the barber shop (or at the hairstylist's or whatever we should call it nowadays) because if you say something in a barber shop about sports you'd better be ready to back it up That's a serious forum If you don't know what you're talking about you keep your trap shut You don't say something stupid but once I'm optimistic that the strike won't last long I don't know why considering that both sides played brinksmanship when they could have been hammering this thing out a long time ago But lam This pro football strhiikgegiesstk looking at maybe my the players take atiming slielainsgonmeaserrmand (I us How's this fkor i I win both office NFL pools last wete blush modestly) and the fold dY football" 'taking was figuring and calculated to run in the season which I had or my winnings this neighborhood of buying all the SmunYdwayifeafataemrneoTnins2g)ndbilaedfano'trtaego craft ttd Inesdedsuk shop accumulaLea On we with her or get rid of themagaz newspapers tha!

"Atterrez le passeurl" Ellis was sacked only three times (twice by Tardits) but was pressured countless other times The closer the Gamecocks got to the Georgia goal the higher the heat from guard Bill Goldberg and ends Mike Guthrie Tyrone McClendon and Aaron Chubb And of course Tardits (6-2 220) a roamed up and down the field allowing Georgia's soft secondary to dictate mostly short throws to the sidelines But South Carolina came away with out a touchdown after driving on separate possessions to the Georgia 3 3 6 14 10 and 2 The first three came within South Carolina's first four possessions The last came in the middle of the fourth quarter and ended on a forced fumble by running back Harold Green on first-and-goal at the 2 "I never would've believed we could hold that kid (Ellis) and that offense without a touchdown" said Georgia coach Vince Dooley whose 20th By GLENN ROLLINS Staff Writer ATHENS Ga Georgia defensive end Richard Tardits who is from France yelled it over and over in the locker room after the game: "Atterrez le passeur!
