NFL preseason plagued with injuries, hijinks
Teams experience turbulence before season's kick-off
By DAVE GOLDBERG AP Football Writer
On the day the Miami Dolphins opened training camp, Yatil Green, their first-round draft choice, tore up his knee and was declared gone for the season. It set the tone for the seven weeks leading up to Sunday's NFL opener a preseason filled with injuries and turbulence (on and off the field).
The final week of the exhibition season was the only one that passed without a major injury and that was because most coaches played their starters two series in the final game. The only star who got hurt was wide receiver Joey Galloway of Seattle, who may play Sunday against the New York Jets despite a bruised foot.
The teams that got hit the worst?
The teams that got hit the worst?
Try San Diego, which lost Junior Seau among others, and Miami, which lost Green, Larry Izzo and Kirby Dar Dar for the season, plus middle linebacker Zach Thomas with a broken leg that makes him questionable for this week.
Plus the two 1995 expansion teams, Jacksonville and Carolina, who found out how the other 28 teams have lived after reaching the conference championship games in their second year. Each lost their quarterbacks to injury
— Kerry Collins, Carolina Panthers, and Mark Brunell, Jacksonville Jaguars, — within an hour on the second Saturday of the exhibition season. Collins will be out with a broken jaw until at least the fifth week and Brunell with sprained knee ligaments will
miss the fifth week or longer.
Carolina also played terribly (0)
4) and had internal difficulties.
Kevin Greene, who led the NFL with 14.5 sacks last season, was a holdout and was released Sunday. Before Collins was hurt, he was decked by offensive lineman Norberto Davidds-Garrido in a bar fight and used a racial epithet to refer to wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad during a dorm party to celebrate the end of training
"We regarded it as a very serious matter," coach Dom Capers said of the Collins-Muhammad problem. "The appropriate apologies were made to — in my opinion — the satisfaction of the players involved. I know that Kerry regrets his comments. But we're basically moving forward."
Collins wasn't the only one who got into a fistfight.
Wide receiver Michael Westbrook of the Redskins, a disappointment in his first two seasons, suddenly decked running back Stephen Davis while the two were standing on the sidelines watching practice. Westbrook was suspended for the final exhibition game and fined $50,000.
The Panthers weren't the only team to run into trouble with a camp party.
The Dallas Cowboys (who else?) trashed their dorms at St. Edward's University in Austin when their camp ended, among other things tearing out the surveillance cameras installed by
But despite coach Barry Switzer's arrest for carrying a gun in the airport and the dorm party, team leaders like Troy Alkman and Chad Hennings declared the preseason a success compared to the turbulence of last season. Emmitt Smith is healthy again and even the local media, always eager for a tabloid-type saga, dismissed the dorm party as normal
Jerry Jones to help monitor their behavior.
party as normal
hijinks that wouldn't have started anybody if it had happened elsewhere.
Dallas' optimism notwithstanding, the best team last season was also the best team in preseason — Green Bay, which went 5-0 and has some players, such as the always euilulent LeRoy Butler, talking about becoming
the first team in 25 years to go unbeaten.
Coach Mike Holmgren, of course, squelched that one, but there seems a certain inevitability about the Packers, whose second team has about a dozen players who could start elsewhere; the stagnant salary cap kept several key players from moving on.
"We're pretty good, but I don't know if we have the best depth in the league," says general manager Ron Wolf.
He almost said it with tongue in cheek.
LOOKING AHEAD ... Some predictions for the 1997 season.
AFC Winners: East, New England (13-3); Central, Jacksonville (10-6); West, Denver (11-5). Wild
"We're pretty good, but I don't know if we have the best depth in the league."

Packers general manager
cards: Pittsburgh (10-6), Seattle
(10-6), Kansas City (10-6)
- Super Bowl: Green Bay 24,
Jacksonville 16.
— NFC Winners: East, Dallas (12-4);
Central, Green Bay (14-2); West,
San Francisco (9-7); Wild cards:
Detroit (10-6), Carolina (9-7), Minnesota
(9-7).
— MVP: Kordell Stewart, Pittsburgh. As much as he could do as a "Slash," he can do more at quarterback. Besides, it's boring to pick Brett Pavre.
— DEFENSIVE PLAYER: Tony Brackens, Jacksonville. Of the 2,143 guys who have been compared to Lawrence Taylor, he might be the closest. And he gets a lot of sacks, which gets you votes; Kevin Greene, despite a lot of flaws, was second last season.
— OFFENSIVE ROOKIE: Tiki Barber, New York Giants. He was supposed to be a third-down back. Now he's a third-down back playing every down — a Roger Craig type in Jim Fassel's California offense. The only reservation: The offensive line is questionable.
— DEFENSIVE ROOKIE: Jason Taylor, Miami. Jimmy Johnson's latest discovery is this year's Brackens, an undersized defensive end who gets to quarterbacks.
— COACH OF THE YEAR: Tom Coughlin, Jacksonville. He gets recognized this season for what he did in 1996.
K-State's new golf course to fulfill sundry objectives
The Associated Press
WICHITA, Kan. — Kansas State University is expected to get more than an 18-hole, championship golf course named for Jim Colbert in the spring of 1999.
The 305-acre complex also will be a laboratory for researchers studying the environmental impact of the course.
It will serve as a resident course for students studying golf course management and as a place for summer sessions for children who have been underrepresented in golf, especially minorities and youngsters from poor families.
At a news conference Monday in Wichita, officials outlined plans for the Colbert Hills Golf Course and explained its multiple partnerships with Kansas State. The course will be the first collegiate course managed by the PGA Tour. Although financed by private contributions, the course will be developed and owned by the Kansas State University Golf Course Management and Research Foundation.
Colbert, a Kansas State alumnus and senior member of the PGA Tour since 1991, will donate $500,000, while an anonymous group called Colbert's "Circle of Friends" has assembled over $3 million. The estimated course cost is $8.5 million to $10 million.
Colbert Hills will be managed by PGA TOUR Golf Course Properties Inc., a subsidiary of the PGA Tour that owns or operates 14 Tournament Players Clubs around the nation and has six others in the construction or planning stage.
The 7,400-yard course will have a clubhouse, driving range and nine-hole teaching course and serve as the home course for
Kansas State's women's and men's teams. Course-generated revenues will help endow golf and general athletic scholarships.
Colbert Hills will also serve as the internship resident course for a pilot program combining Kansas State's turf management curriculum with formal course work in business administration and hospitality.
Colbert and PGA officials hope the complex will be a place where aspiring young golfers, especially minorities, could get involved in the game. Although golf has begun to cross cultural and socio-economic barriers, Colbert believes more must be done to reach the underrepresented populations.
The Colbert Hills Skills Based Youth Golf Academy will bring about 100 youngsters ages 10 to 17 each summer for two- and four-week sessions. The participants - 75 from the Manhattan area and 25 from across the nation - would come from low-income families and would learn golf fundamentals while getting academic, career and social counseling.
The course also will be the centerpiece for a 1,040-acre development northwest of Manhattan. Long-range plans include an estimated 700 homes and other commercial development along the course, but Colbert said the major themes will remain athletics and academics.
