Cowboys voice mixed views on NFL strike
DALLAS (AP) — Six Dallas Cow-
biys, including Danny White, say
they haven’t decided whether to sup
port a strike or refused to comment
on their decision in a poll of the 45-
nftn roster.
■White, Randy White, linebackers
Ehgene Lockhart and Jesse Penn,
cornerback Manny Hendrix and
rookie Ron Burton were the only
players who did not give their sup-
pOM to a threatened players’ strike
ejected Tuesday.
■'I have decided (what to do), but
it’s not for public knowledge,” quar-
terback White said.
■Defensive tackle Randy White
said he wants to wait and see what
happens. “1 just don’t like this part
of the game of football. I like the
game of football. I don’t even like
going through contract negotia
tions,” he said.
Other players were brief about
their intentions.
“Is there a choice? Yeah, there’s a
choice. I have no comments. Catch
me next week,” said Lockhart. Penn
had no comment and Hendrix said
he, too, would have to wait and see
what happens.
Burton said he was not sure what
he would do.
If a strike hits Tuesday, players in
the National Football League will
have to handle the game’s second
strike in six season.
Most of the Cowboys were unified
in support of the players’ associa
tion, although some questioned what
they are supporting or why they are
supporting it.
“I think it’s stupid,” Kevin Brooks
told the Dallas Morning News.
“All I know is they want free
agency. That’s not going to help
players in the long run. If they just
made some improvements on some
of the other issues, like the pension,
I think the players would like to
keep playing,” Brooks, a defensive
tackle, said.
“It looks like a short season for
me. Three weeks and one game. But
I’ll support a strike if we go out,”
said No. I pick Danny Noonan.
Running back Herschel Walker
said he supports the strike.
“For me, the reason I’m striking is
for the pension because the lifespan
of NFL players is so short. But one
thing you’ve got to have is some give
and take. We’ll have to give some
thing to take something. Right now
it looks like management doesn’t
want to give up anything.”
What will happen to those who
don’t support the strike is uncertain.
“I think there will be a couple of
players (cross the picket line),” said
defensive back Everson Walls. “Ev
erybody doesn’t think about it the
same way. You’ve got some in finan
cial binds and it’s hard on them. I’m
sure there will be some who get
weak, but they’ve got to realize the
owners depend on them getting
weak. I’d be resentful. I’d never for
get it, but I’d just handle it in my
own way.”
Her GM Herzeg arrested following fight at reception
UFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Houston
rs General Manager Ladd Her-
was arrested Saturday night fol-
ing an alleged fight with a man at
edding reception, authorities
erzeg was charged with misde-
i^anor assault in connection with
[^■alleged fight with James McDon
ald of North Tonawanda at a hotel,
S^fcektowaga police Sgt. Mitchell
Knnotek said.
^fcerzeg, whose Oilers lost 34-30 to
the Buffalo Bills Sunday, was ar
rested about 11:30 p.m., booked into
jail and later released on $100 bail,
Kmiotek said.
Herzeg had complained to hotel
management there was too much
noise at the reception party, Joel
Stewart, the groom, said.
The fight started about 20 min
utes after Stewart told the band to
keep playing, the groom said. Hotel
security arrested Herzeg.
Herzeg, 41, who also is executive
vice president of the Oilers,
punched McDonald, the brother of
the bride, in the mouth, Cheekto-
waga Police Sgt. E. Leahy said. Police
were then called to the scene.
McDonald suffered from bleeds
ing and swelling of the mouth, and a
bruised eye, police said.
Herzeg, who is scheduled to ap
pear in court Sept. 29, was unavail
able for comment to the media Sun
day.
But Oilers spokesman Chip Nam-
ias said Herzeg gave him the follow
ing account: “There was a wedding
reception in the big courtyard (in the
hotel) that some of the rooms over
look.
“The agreement between the
band and the hotel management was
that the band would stop playing at
11 p.m. (the Oilers’ curfew the night
before a game). They (the band) did
not stop playing at 11 and several
calls were made to the hotel security.
Each time, security said they would
take care of it.
“The band stopped playing
shortly after 11, then started again
before 11:30 p.m.”
Herzeg went down to talk with the
band director, Namias said.
“A guy who appeared to be
drunk, came up, grabbed me by the
shoulder and pushed me,” Namias
quoted Herzeg as saying.
At which point, Namias said,
“Ladd, in a defensive posture,
slapped him in the face.”
“I was concerned about our
coaches and players getting a good
night’s sleep,” Namias quoted Her
zeg as saying.
Kelly-led Bills defeat
Oilers in final minute
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP)
— Jim Kelly threw for three
touchdowns, including the 10-
yard winning score to Ron Har
mon with 57 seconds left, as the
Buffalo Bills rallied to beat the
Houston Oilers 34-30 Sunday.
Kelly, who completed 26 of 43
g asses for 293 yards, moved the
ills 54 yards in 1:26 before find
ing Harmon alone in the end
zone, capping a rally from a 10-
point fourth-quarter deficit.
A Ron Pitts interception of a
Warren Moon pass with 19 sec
onds to go snuffed out any
chance of an Oilers comeback.
Moon threw a 12-yard touch
down pass to Ernest Givins and a
2-yarder to Drew Hill, and Mike
Rozier rushed for 150 yards and
a touchdown for the Oilers. But
Houston was penalized 10 times
for 113 yards.
The Bills tied the score at 20 on
Kelly’s 8-yard touchdown pass to
Andre Reed early in the fourth
uarter. Then the Oilers took a
0-20 lead in the fourth quarter
on Moon’s touchdown pass to Gi
vins and a 30-yard field goal by
Tony Zendejas.
Zendejas also had field goals
from 27 and 52 yards.
But the Bills, who scored 21
fourth-quarter points, made it 30-
27 on a 2-yard touchdown run by
Robb Riddick with just under
four minutes to go.
Kelly’s other touchdown pass
was an 11-yarder to Riddick at
the end of the first half, while the
Bills other scores came on Scott
Norwood field goals of 45 and 38
yards.
The Bills drove for two field
goals in the first quarter, but the
Oilers controlled most of the first
half to take a 17-13 lead.
After Norwood ended a 52-
yard drive with a 45-yard field
goal early in the game, the Oilers
tied it thanks to the first half’s
only turnover.
A Kelly pass on the Bills second
possession was picked off by
safety Keith Bostic and the Oilers
got the ball on their 46. Five plays
later, the drive stalled and Hous
ton got a 52-yard field goal by
Zendejas, making it 3-3.
The Oilers got a break when
Ray Wallace fumbled after a 19-
yard run but teammate Jamie
Williams recovered at the Buffalo
8. Moon then found Hill for the
2-yard touchdown pass that put i
Houston ahead 10-3.
Aided by a 47-yard completion
from Kelly to Chris Burkett, the
Bills drove close enough for Nor
wood’s second field goal, a 38-
yarder that made it 10-6.
The Oilers then moved 71
yards to score on their next pos
session early in the second quar
ter. The drive would have stalled
on an incomplete pass on third-
and-11, but Buffalo safety Mark
Kelso was called for a late hit.
