NFL steps up security measures
(AP) — Things will be differ
ent when the NFL reopens
Sunday. Tailgating, the sched
ule and how many teams get to
play for Super Bowl spots all
could be changing.
There probably will be a 16-
game season — commissioner
Paul Tagliabue is expected to
announce Tuesday that the
games called off Sunday and
Monday will be made up on
what would have been wild-card
weekend Jan 5-6.
But fans who blithely drive
into parking lots three hours be
fore a game, tailgate for 2 1/2
hours, then casually walk to their
seats just in time for kickoff,
won’t be able to do that anymore.
“The commissioner has de
cided that our No. 1 priority is
security,” said Milt Ahlerich, the
NFL’s senior director of securi
ty, Monday.
“Our fans are going to have to
he more patient. We’re suggest
ing that they get to the stadiums
early and then get to their seats
early. We want to alleviate that
last-minute game crush.’’
There will be more uni
formed police at games. Fans
will not be allowed to bring bags
into stadiums, and cars will be
required to park a good distance
away. Those were among the se
curity measures used during the
1991 playoffs, which took place
during the Gulf War.
But there will not be fighter
planes circling stadiums while
games are being played.
“The threat has not come to
that level,” Ahlerich said.
As teams returned to practice
Monday, things still seemed a
bit awry.
“As you might have expected,
our focus wasn’t quite at the lev
el that we would normally ex
pect it to be,” said Detroit coach
Marty Mornhinweg.
Some players and coaches re
mained concerned about travel.
Carolina coach George Seifert
said the Panthers were consider
ing driving to Atlanta for this
week’s game rather than flying.
“I’ve never been on a bus for
4 1/2 to 5 hours before. That
might be a new experience,” said
tight end Wesley Walls. “We’ll
see how I like it.”
Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and
New Orleans will be off next
weekend, and Arizona, which
was off the first week of the reg
ular season, hasn’t played since
its last exhibition on Aug. 3 1.
That will make it 24 days with
out a game when the Cardinals
face Denver in Tempe on Sun
day night.
The Steelers, Saints, Bugs
and Lions now will not have
a
The commissioner
has decided
that our No. 1
priority is

fans are going to

more patient.

of security
home games until the fifth
weekend, with Detroit playing
St. Louis on Monday night that
week. That is particularly disap
pointing to Pittsburgh, which
had been scheduled to open
brand-new Heinz Field on Sun
day night.
Another potential problem
caused by the six-day postpone
ment of baseball games was alle
viated Monday when die Balti
more Orioles moved Cal
Ripken’s final game from Oct. 7
to the previous night. That avoid
ed a conflict with the Tennessee
Titans-Baltimore Ravens game
scheduled next door to Camden
Yards at 1 p.m. on Oct. 7.
The playoffs will be changed,
if Tagliabue does as expected
and makes up last weekend’s
games on the wild-card week
end. The playoff teams would be
reduced from 12 teams to eight,
with just one wild-card team in
each conference instead of three.
No team seeded lower than
fourth has made it to a champi
onship game since Jacksonville
upset Buffalo and Denver to
reach the AFC title game after
the 1996 season. And only one
has made it to a Super Bowl —
New England after the 1985
season, when there were just two
wild-card teams per conference.
Each AFC division appears
to have two strong teams: Mia
mi and Indianapolis in the East;
Baltimore and Tennessee in the
Central; and Oakland and Den
ver in the West. Recent history
tells us that there is at least one
sleeper every year that turns
180 degrees from a horrible
season — San Diego, 1-15 last •
season, opened with a 30-3 win !
over Washington.
With only one wild-card team
er conference, the division races
ecome far more important.
Tennessee’s opening-week loss
to Miami might be pivotal if the
two contend for a wild card spot.
In the NFC, the reduction in
wild-card teams probably would
mean the Giants or Eagles ;
would have to win the East to
make the playoffs. Each will
have to sweep the Redskins,
Cardinals and Cowboys, all of
whom seem to be among the
league’s weakest teams, then at (
least split against each other.
Overall, the mood around the
NFL on Monday was expressed
by Arizona coach Dave McGin
nis as the Cardinals resumed
practice after their long layoff.
“We’re hack to work,” he
said. “As our president said
when he got off the helicopter
from Camp David, he wanted
America to go back to work.
We’re back to work. Our
work this weekend is the Den-" j
ver Broncos.”

“The force was so great the
seat belt was actually broken.’’
Murphy said.
The other six SUV passen
gers also were ejected. AH the
SUV occupants died at the
scene.
The others killed were
Nicholas J. Schabron, 20, of
Laramie; Justin Lambert-
Belanger. 20, of Timmins,
Ontario, Canada; Kyle N.
Johnson, 20, of Riverton; Kevin
L. Salverson, 19, of Cheyenne;
Joshua D. Jones, 22, of
Laramie; Morgan McLeland,
21, of Gillette; and Cody B.
Brown, 21, of Hudson, Colo.
Sunday night, members of
football, basketball and other
teams met with counselors and
school officials in meeting
rooms at the sports arena.
Some athletes sought addition
al counseling.
“It’s hard to put it into
words. There are some kids that
are absolutely scared to death,”
Moon said. “There’s some that
simply don't understand. They
can’t understand.”
The deaths have disqualified
the men's cross-country team
from competing because only
four runners are left, he said.
The university will decide
whether to recruit more runners
or cancel the season. The team
needs five runners under
NCAA rules. Moon said.

game. Junior middle blocker Jenny Tanneberger,
who transferred from Texas, is one of only two
players to be hitting above .200 with a team-best
.273 efficiency.
As a team, Houston is hitting .188 and aver
aging 15.17 kills, 18.34 digs and 1.76 blocks
per game. Opponents are hitting .192 and aver
aging 13.86 kills, 16.28 digs and 2.69 blocks
per game.
The Aggies are slated to begin Big 12 compe
tition at Missouri on Saturday. A&M was
stunned by the Tigers in the conference opener
last season, losing in three games in Columbia.
Both teams ended the season tied with Kansas
State for second place in the Big 12 standings
with a 14-6 record.
Jordan makes NBA
comeback on Net
For 90 minutes Monday,
Michael Jordan was listed as an
active player for the Washington
Wizards on the team’s Web site.
Apparently, someone pressed a
button a little too soon.
“Just a clerical error,” NBA
spokesman Tim Frank said.
“Our Internet department was
making preparations in case he
comes back.”
Jordan had all but confirmed
he would announce a comeback
at a news conference as early as
this week. Because of the terror
ist attacks, he is now more likely
to announce his decision in a
SPORTS IN BRIEF
more low-key manner, such as a
faxed news release, in the next
two weeks.
Wizards spokesman Matt
Williams said he was inundated
with phone calls after Jordan was
included on the Web page, tucked
alphabetically between Popeye
Jones and Christian Laettner.
Jordan was listed as a 6-foot-6
guard, 198 pounds. The uniform,
of course, was No. 23.
The Web site also included a
brief biography, complete with his
career statistics down to such triv
ial information as the fact that he
wore his blue North Carolina
shorts underneath his Bulls shorts
when he played for Chicago.
Jordan’s name was taken off
the active roster late in the after
noon by the NBA, which controls
the rosters on the Web site.
This would be the second
comeback for the 38-year-old
Jordan, who led the Bulls to six
NBA championships. He retired
in October 1993 to play minor
league baseball and returned to
the Bulls in March 1995. He
retired again in January 1999.
At the NBA Store in Manhattan,
employees said they were stock
ing several blank Wizards jerseys
that will be embroidered with
Jordan's name and number when
the comeback is official.
For now, the only Wizards jer
seys available at the store are
Richard Hamilton’s No. 32 and
rookie Kwame Brown's No. 5.
