NEW YORK — Quite often, the
pople who call in on talk shows
jon’t really have much to say,
ley’re only looking to throw in
ship qualib ie ' r tl,v0 cents or give the host a
he team. S 3r jj l ‘ me u
ness andt ^’ s ca H e i' was different.
not a gifi be was Steve Grogan, the New
3 passer. n fd an d Patriots quarterback who
back Mib ^ thrown five touchdown passes
3 He’sali ’^astthe New York Jets in a 56-3
dequaten rus her the day before, and he
eadyfor* a snt calling for himself, but on
ehalfofone of his teammates, cor-
uled for ’! F^ack Raymond Clay born.
idium ft G r °g an had been listening to one
Valley Jill r Nesv England’s most popular
[ghwayjjj!r' 0 talk shows, “Calling All
[ports,” handled so well consis-
e by Upton Bell and Bob
.
/% T Monday evening a segment
■ f I the show was given over to a
W [atriots-Jets’ postgame dressing
pom episode in which Clayborn
~M t first threatened to “bury” Boston
4/1 bbe sportswriter Will
W 1/I/I IcDonough and then stuck a finger
I i his eye. Defending himself from
m this t« 1Un P rov °ked attack, McDonough
'oceeded to punch out Clayborn.
Grogan had heard most of the cal-
ts side with McDonough, and that
as when he made his own call.
I abhor what happened but a
/’s career is on the line here,”
nWrc«J ro § an said ' 1 respect Will
b / ,,, IcDonough as the best football
r ™riter around and one of the l>est
liters I’ve ever met. Most of the
ays on the team feel the same way.
ootball is an emotional game,
lough. Raymond apologized today
id I hope the fans accept that. I
ipe Will also will accept it. All I’m
iking is give this guy another
lance. ”
Grogan said he thought Clayborn
louldbe fined. He was sincere and
loquent, and I’m with him all the
'ay when he talks about giving
eople another chance, but he loses
ie in the case of Raymond
'layhorn, who from all evidence,
id plenty of chances already and
is run out of them.
McDonough thinks so, too. The
ist I heard, he plans to file a joint

suit in Boston District Court against
Clayborn, the Patriots and the Na
tional Football League. To that, I
have only one thing to say. Hooray
for Will McDonough.
Ballplayers are always talking
about getting respect. That’s fine,
but to get any respect, you also have
to give some.
Clayborn apologized publicly to
McDonough Monday but the news
paperman refused to accept the
apology.
There are two words Clayborn
seems to be hung up on. Linked to
gether, the words come close to
being the ultimate obscenity.
Clayborn directed them at some
other writers in the Patriots’ dress
ing room last week and used them
again after the Jets’ games when he
came back to his locker and an
nounced: “Any
sports writer near my locker today is
gonna get buried.”
McDonough was speaking with
Grogan and wasn’t anywhere near
Clayborn’s locker. Later, when
McDonough was talking to Jackson,
who dresses three lockers away from
Clayborn, the Patriots cornerback
made the same announcement even
though nobody was in front of his
locker.
According to witnesses, Clayborn
shoved a newspaperman and then
struck a TV man with his elbow.
McDonough was the third one to be
pushed and he bumped into
Jackson.
“We re just trying to talk to
Harold, McDonough said to
Clayborn. “We re not even near
your locker. Clayborn then
reached out with his hand toward
McDonough.
“Listen, , better
get out of my way or I’ll bury you, ”
he said.
“Ray, you’re not burying me,”
McDonough said.
That was when Clayborn stuck his
finger in McDonough’s eye.
Seeing Clayborn’s hand coming,
the newspapennan hit him on the
chin and Clayborn went tumbling
into his locker, and when the player
got up, McDonough hit him again
before Grogan and others broke up
the fight.
