St. Louis leads the pack for NFL expansion team
City has stadium being constructed
By R.B. Fallstrom The Associated Press
ROSEMONT, III. — After all these years of waiting, the favorites to get the second NFL expansion franchise today may be the Johnny-comelaties.
St. Louis' Gateway Football Partnership, hastily assembled the day before the league awarded the first franchise to Charlotte, N.C., on Oct. 26, was considered the front-runner when the NFL owners meet for E-Day, Take Two, at a suburban Chicago hotel.
The city has the nation's 18th-largest television market — the biggest without a team — and a domed stadium under construction. Plus, there's the threat that New England owner James Busch Orthwein would move the Patriots to St. Louis if denied an expansion team.
"Other people are talking about stadiums," said Stan Kroenke, head of the St. Louis group. "We're building ours. St. Louis has got to be extremely attractive to the league."
The group also is close to adding Walter Payton, the NFL's career leading rusher. Chicago Bears owner Mike McCaskey said he would cast his vote for his former player.
Coming up fast from a standing start is the third Baltimore ownership group headed by Al Lemer, a minority owner of the Cleveland Browns. This group wasn't formed until Charlotte got a team.
The other four entries — Jacksonville, Memphis and the other two groups from Baltimore — have been around for years.
But the two other Baltimore groups, headed by Leonard "Boogie" Weinglass and Malcolm Glazer, were spurned by their own city's expansion committee. Gov. William Donald Schaefer quickly threw his support to Lerner.
Baltimore likely needed one because of its proximity to both Washington and Philadelphia. Also, the league already voted in one East Coast team when it picked Charlotte
"I think if we had stayed pat, we would have been out altogether," Schaefer said. "It's a whole new ballgame. It gives us a whole new dimension."
and had indicated it wanted the two new teams to present a balanced ticket.
"We accept the fact that we're located where we are and that the TV market is not quite that of St. Louis," said Herb Belgrad, chairman of the Maryland Stadium Authority. "We can't change those things. But when it comes to the stadium lease and the selling of luxury boxes, we're better than all the other cities."
The day begins about 8 a.m., when the expansion and finance committee meets. This will probably last all morning, and each group has been asked to be available for any last-minute questions. Lerner also may get to make a presentation.
The committee then makes a recommendation to the owners. After that, it's anybody's guess when the waiting will end. The winning city needs votes from 21 of the 28 owners, and most in the competition expect a long day.
St. Louis and Baltimore are both trying to get back into the league. St. Louis lost the Cardinals to Phoenix after the 1987 season, and Baltimore lost the Colts in 1984 when owner, Robert Irsay backed up the moving vans in the dead of the night.
Injuries scratch all but golden oldies
There's Joe Montana, 37; Phil Simms, 38; Warren Moon, 38, and even Steve DeBerg who, at 39, is the oldest player in the league.
By Dave Goldberg The Associated Press
Thirtysomething quarterbacks have been the rage this season because their younger counterparts have been victimized by injuries and inconsistency.
Throw in John Elway, 33, and Steve Young, 32, and it seems that 24-year-old Brent Favre of Green Bay is a rarity among those leading their teams toward the postseason.
The Associated Press
When it comes to quarterbacking a team toward this year's NFL playoffs, older seems to be better.
Montana, a four-time Super Bowl winner, is a perfect example.
Simms, Montana's counterpart in the Giants-40ers games of the 1980s, passed for 337 yards Sunday, his highest total in six years. On the desperation drive that led to Brad Daluiso's game-winning 54-yard field goal for the Giants, Simms took a fierce hit on third and 18, yet completed a 23-yard pass to Mark Jackson.
"Idon't think I played very well," he said after completing 18 of 32 passes for 208 yards in Kansas City's 23-7 victory Sunday over Buffalo.
Maybe not, but his return from injury seemed to inspire the Chiefs — particularly the defense, which a week earlier blew a 14 lead in a loss to Chicago.
Moon, whose throws have been intercepted 15 times in his last five games against Pittsburgh, threw for 295 yards Sunday, including a 66 yard touchdown pass, helping Houston beat the Steelers and take the lead in the AFC Central with its sixth straight win.
Three days earlier, Miami's DeBerg wisely attacked Dal' las with a short passing game during an ice-bound drive to what could become the game's most famous blocked field, goal and an eventual victory for the Dolphins.
Young threw for 462 yards as the 49ers continued their march through the NFC West. Elway had a near-perfect game as Denver beat Seattle 17-9 to remain within striking distance of Kansas City in the AFC West.
Favre was knocked silly, but came back to throw a 2-yard TD pass with 1:16 left. That gave Green Bay a 13-10 victory over Tampa Bay and a share of the lead in the NFC Central.
"We kind of pitter-patter and step on our feet until our backs are against the wall," he said. "Then it's do or die, and we do it."
THE BUGEL SOUNDS TAPS?
The loss Sunday after Daluso's 54-yard field goal for the Giants was heartbreakting.
Phoenix coach Joe Bugel has exceeded the seven-loss quota allowed by Cardinals owner Bill Bidwil. Seven of the eight defeats were by a touchdown or less.
"What do you want me to do? Sit around and suck my thumb and say: 'The ultimatum, the ultimatum,' said Bugel, now 16-43 in his four seasons as head coach.
"I've been in this game for 19 years," he said. "I think know what it takes to coach. I've been a winner my whole life. The owner wants to win too, bless his heart. There's nothing wrong with that."
Bidwill said Bugel would need to win nine games in order to keep his job.
