Kosar decides to wait will play for Browns
By United Press International
MIAMI — University of Miami quarterback Bernie Kosar decided yesterday to pass up next week's NFL draft so he can play for his homestate Cleveland Browns rather than the Minnesota Vikings.
"I just wanted to go home," said Kosar, a 6-foot-5 of Boardman, Ohio, who led the Hurri-
gan as the national championship in 1983.
Kosar said he would complete his college studies and make himself available for a supplemental draft this summer. The decision paves the way for the Browns to pick him in the summer draft.
The Vikings traded with Houston for the rights to the second pick in the April 30 draft specifically to get Kosar after Buffalo committed its No.1 choice by signing Virginia Tech defender end Bruce Smith.
"I LOOKED INTO the Minnesota situation deeply because of the situation with their domed stadium and because of my relationship with (former UM quarterback coach) Mare Treestrant. "Kosar said at a
news conference at the university athletic complex. "I guess the decision came to playing for the hometown team."
The Browns obtained the rights to first choice in the supplemental draft through a trade with Buffalo.
In a ruling Tuesday, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle freed Kosar to sign with the Browns or join the Vikings.
Kosar played just two years at Miami, but he can graduate this summer. The Vikings contended Kosar has no college eligibility left and therefore was to be included among players available in the April 30 draft.
ROZELLE RULED KOSAR could enter the April 30 draft or wait until the supplementary draft this summer.
Kosar must graduate before he can sign an NFL contract. An Academic All-America with a 3.6 grade point average, Kosar is a possible Rhodes Scholar candidate and a University of Miami Law School applicant for next year, officials said.
Former pitching star faces life prison term
By United Press International
TAMPA, Fla. — Denny McLain,
the only major leaguer in the last
50 years to win 30 games in one
season, faces a lifetime prison
term when he is sentenced today
on four counts, including cocaine
possession.
On Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Elizabeth A. Kovachiev was swayed by an argument made by McLain's attorney, Arnold D. Levine, and postponed the sentencing procedure until 10:30 a.m. today. McLain could be hit with a maximum sentence of 75 years from prison if he pleads for office. Federal prosecutor Ernst Mueller is asking for a 55-year sentence while Levine is seeking probation for McLain, 41.
A JURY DELIBERATED three days before finding McLain guilty of loan sharking, extortion, bookmaking and cocaine possession. Co-defendants Seymour Sher and Frank Cocchiaro also were convicted on charges of loan sharking, bookmaking and extortion.
Sher, 59, was sentenced to a 20-year prison term and ordered to reimburse a victim $10,000. Cochiaro, 66, who has been behind bars for 30 years, received a sentence for mail fraud, received a concurrent sentence of 20 years.
McLain, who posted a 31-6 record for the Detroit Tigers in 1988, has spent the last five weeks County Court Jail in Sanford, Fla.
Levine skillfully argued for a sentence postponement, claiming a victim impact statement in the pre-sentence investigation report represented only the government's views. Kovachlevich granted Leed's delay in sentencing to present his own victim impact statement.
MCLAIN, WHO WAS denied bail the day after the guilty verdict, is expected to appeal the convictions and hopes to be released on bond after sentencing. He was found guilty by a jury of nine women and three men after an arduous 14-week trial. He was denied bail despite a parade of 10 character witnesses to the stand.
