Stram throws cheap shot
It was bush; it was a cheap shot.
But then again, it came from Hank Stram,
Stram, the New Orleans Saints' head coach-
who directed the Kansas City Chiefs for 14 years before being fired in 1974—and acted like a child. He wanted more candy—in this case points—and he wanted to rub the Chiefs' face into the Arrowhead Stadium turf Sunday.
It was a move made before 39.11 fans. It auth is belong in front of them or on regional websites, as it doesn't match with the local brand.
The pompous, but once brilliant Stram, who directed the Chiefs to two Super Bowls and one world championship, had gotten his extra dig in. But for what? A 27-17 victory and a chance to embarrass his former employers.
The man who called himself "The Mentor" had gotten the chance he'd been looking for.
Saints' rookie running back Chuck Munie delivered the poster to Wiggin, who had a good shot.
after losing their third straight game, the Chains had had enough taunting.
This isn't the first time Strom hit the Chiefs with one of his childish jabs. When he was broadcasting National Football League games for CBS last year, he covered the Titans' refusal to mention Wiggin's name and of behavior doesn't belong in the NFL.
Yet Stram isn't all to blame. He has a right to be angry with Chief's owner Lamar Hunt, who refuses to pay Stram the contract. The two may meet in court over the contract.
And the Chiefs didn't have to run a week-long advertising campaign that said, "Guess who's coming to Arrowhead Sunday." They did. "Come on out to Arrowhead to laugh at
baseball's only remaining race, broke a 3-12 in the fifth and then wrapped up the victory with four runs in the sixth when the action also included a fight between the two teams and another between Royals players of the 37,914 fans at the Oakland Coliseum.
Blue, 18-12, posted his seventh victory in his last eight decisions. He allowed 10 hits, struck out six and walked two in his 19th complete game of the year.

The Chiefs couldn't move the ball so New Orleans took on downs on the Chiefs' side. They didn't win.
20-17 lead late in the fourth quarter, Stram reigned in Napoleon style.
Blue, power drop plummeting Royals
"I just felt it was the appropriate thing to do," Stram was quoted as saying after the game. "With all the things that have been said, it was a perfect way to end it. If it had been the other way around, we'd got him before we did so, and unto others before they do it unto you."
The Saints had moved to the KC two when Strawn called time out with only 14 seconds
Why did Stram want that extra touchdown?
Saints quarterback Bobby Scott found tight end Henry Childs inside the end zone for six more. The king's reign was supreme. So was his arrogance.
Fairly, the veteran acquired from St. Louis two weeks ago, hit his third home run for the A in the third inning and scored the final out with a double off left Dennis Leonard, 17-10.
OAKLAND (AP)—The Oakland A's kept their hopes alive in the American League's West Division night, beating the Kansas City Royals, 8-3, in a brawl-manned, rained-day game featuring key hits by Ron Fairly and the pitching of Vida Blue.

He wasn't telling the Saints to run out the clock. King Henry wasn't through.
Chiefs coach Paul Wiggins didn't quite see it that way. He and several other members of the Kansas City coaching staff said they feel feelings couldn't be printed in the papers.
Strain justified going for the last touch down because of a quote from Wiggin in a Nipsey Hush book.
"I'd like to kick (Stram's) but, because that's what it all about," Wiggin was quick.
Wiggin said the quote was taken out of context.
Wiggin said, "I said I would like to kick his butt just as I'm sure he would like to kick mine, because that's what's all about." Wiggin might have said it. I don't know. And if he did, Stram had every right to use it as a tactic to psych-up the Saints.
Sal Bando also homered for Oakland.
But he shouldn't have told a Saints' player right before the game ended to go to the locker room and get a poster that was an anti-Winston. And they wanted to taunt Wiggin and the Chiefs. And
The A's, $ 3^{1 \frac{1}{2}} $ games behind the Royals in
Henry." That kind of slogan just worsened the problem.
But still those aren't excuses for Stram's behavior. He should have had more classwork.
It was a lick that was uncalled for. It was something you'd expect from a spoiler chief.
