Steelers want Kordell Stewart to regain old 'slashing' style
PITTSBURGH — Really, Kordell Stewart can still go deep. Turn on a TV for 10 minutes, and it's hard to miss him zinging passes in one of his numerous commercials.
The Associated Press
But on the field, it's much different. The season is one-quarter finished, and the Pittsburgh Steelers have glimpsed only flashes of the Kordell Stewart of 1997 — the quarterback equally adept at throwing or running 80 yards for a touchdown.
In their last two games, Sunday's 13-10 win against Seattle and a 21-0 loss to Miami, Stewart has thrown more touchdown passes to opposing defensive backs — one — than to his receivers — none. His 60 passes produced only 190 vards.
The Steelers have tried to help him regain his nickname, Slash, by having him run 11 times Sunday. His 10-yard run set up their only touchdown, by rookie running back Chris Fumatu Ma'afala.
So far, the same player who twice threw for three touchdowns and ran for two others in a game last
season is 58-of-117 for 500 yards, two touchdowns and six interceptions. As a runner, he has 22 carries for 64 yards and a touchdown. He has been sacked eight times.
They include the transition in offensive coordinators from Chan Gailey to Ray Sherman, the loss of star receiver Yancey Thigpen and an emphasis on shorter, more precise passing. An ever-changing offensive line infrequently gives him time to throw. And some question if Stewart lost confidence by throwing three interceptions in the AFC championship game.
The theories vary for Kordell's crash.
"I went up to him (coach Bill Cowher)—actually, he came at me first—and he said, 'Good job, but we still have some work to be done.' Stewart said. "We're 3-1, regardless of how bad the first three weeks were, and now we've got a bwe week to get things worked off."
As upbeat as he is, Stewart realizes the Steelers cannot hope to keep winning if he's only a facsimile version of his former's form.
"I don't have to'have a 200-or 300
yard passing game," Stewart said.
"And even if I get only two or three yards on a run, the defense still has to watch out for it and be alert to it."
But what about getting only two or three yards per pass? Doesn't that encourage defenses to play the
Steelers' receivers man-
to-man, freeing
extra defenders to rush Stewart
or stack the line of scrimimage
against Jerome Bettis' running?
"When you utilize the talent I have, the offense has and Jerome has, it gives us the opportunity to get out there and make some things happen," Stewart said. "When Jerome is pounding the ball and pounding the ball, the defense can get so caught up in the pounding and ... it opens up things down the field."
But when will the Steelers open up their offense? When will they let Stewart be Slash again?
"There's more to come," Stewart said.
Jordan testifies in movie lawsuit
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — For days, Michael Jordan sat quietly at the defense table while lawyers did the talking in a multimillion-dollar lawsuit alleging he broke a promise to star in "Heaven is a Playground," a film that flopped without him.
The Chicago Bulls star assumed his accustomed starring role yesterday, loping across a downtown courtroom and settling his towering frame into the witness box as he testified that he never refused to act in the 1991 film.
"I maintained enthusiasm about the project. I wanted to participate," Jordan said, even when filming was postponed several times while the producers sought financing.
Jordan said he even agreed to return the $50,000 producers paid him up front and offered his signature to help draw prospective backers when financing hit a snag.
mately was made with former Loyola Marymount star B Kimble in the role Jordan was to have played. It made just $168,000 at the box office, its
producers allege, and never got national distribution.
The producers are seeking between $16 million and $20 million in damages, or what they believe could have been the film's profit.
The movie, filmed in Chicago, ulti-
Jordan: Says he was enthusiastic about production
Jordan was called by the
plaintiffs as a hostile witness, and much of his nearly four-hour testimony involved dry minutiae about contractual obligations. But he provided comic relief as the plaintiffs showed scenes from a video featuring
film clips of Jordan's soaring basket- ball feats.
Jordan bit his lip and smiled uncomfortably as the video announcer called him "this offensive juggernaut" and "the greatest scorer since Wilt Chamberlain."
When attorney Dean Dickie asked whether Jordan, "as the greatest basketball player ever," had considered how successful "Heaven is a Playground" would have been with him in it, Jordan demurred.
"I guess I shouldn't assume that I'm the greatest basketball player," Jordan said humly, prompting smiles from jurors and audience members in the packed courtroom. "I try to be the best I can be."

Jordan appeared testy just once, when Dickie repeatedly tried to show that Jordan had broken his agreement.
"At no time did I refuse" to act in the film, Jordan said later under questioning from his attorney, Fred Sperling.
