“The No. 1 thing was that he has dropped
the weight,” Andy Reid of the Philadelphia Ea
gles said. “That’s always a concern, some
body’s up 20 pounds from a normal playing
weight. You’ve just got to (come and) see. We
understood that he had been on the banquet cir
cuit. But he lost it and he looked sharp. That
showed me a little something.”
Being on the rubber-chicken circuit was
tough “only because you’re not working out,”
Williams said. “Eating wasn’t that bad, it’s just
that you’re traveling so much that it’s really
hard to take time to work out.”
As for his diet, “I just kind of made up stuff,”
Williams said. “1 got by. It changed almost
every day. I had to work extremely hard. It was
n’t just strictly diet.”
The hardest thing he gave up?
“Oh, all sweets. Doughnuts, cheesecake.
That’s about it. Just sweets. Right now I’m go
ing to a doughnut shop.”
Palmer said Williams was timed anywhere
from 4.6 seconds to 4.72 running against the
wind in the 40 and anywhere from 4.43 to
4.52 in two heats with the wind. Two other
college players who were being timed suf
fered hamstring injuries on the cold and blus
tery day.
Among those in the crowd of 200 watching
the workout were Cleveland general manager
Dwight Clark, Indianapolis CM Bill Polian and
coach Jim Mora, New Orleans Saints CM Bill
Kuharich and Minnesota Vikings coach Dennis

Rodman, 37, and Electra, 26,
were married in Las Vegas on Nov.
14 after what was reported to be an
all-night bender. Nine days later,
Rodman cried fraud and filed for
an annulment, saying he was of
unsound mind when he recited his
vows.
Electra, whose real name is Tara
Patrick, was with Rodman at Plan

announced he would be joining
the Los Angeles Lakers.
During that news conference.
Rodman said he and his wife were
happily married but living in sepa
rate homes.
Electra attended several games
to watch her husband play.
Then on March 13, Rodman, re
ceived permission to leave the Lak
ers to resolve personal issues. He re
joined the team in Orlando on
March 21.

Rodman later stated it was Elec

Rodman was an instant hit with
fans when he joined the team,
helping the Lakers win nine
straight games.
However, the team has per
formed erratically since Rodman re
turned from his leave of absence.
One of the lowest points came Sat
urday night when Rodman was
ejected after picking up two techni
cal fouls in the final minutes of an
81-76 loss to visiting Golden State.
