NFL coaches discuss job pressure
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Pro football is a game of big crowds, big expectations and big money. NFL coaches say these factors can combine to generate big stress. This stress can lead to events like the heart attack suffered Wednesday by Bears' coach Mike Ditka.
Some of his colleagues said yesterday that they accepted stress as part of the game.
"Coaching is no more stressful than being in management at a place like Honeywell or 3M," said Minnesota Vikings coach Jerry Burns, who believes Ditka's personality, more
than his job, may have set the stage for the Chicago coach's coronary.
"mike is just more excaution. Burns said. "I don't think it had anything to do with football, really . . . It could have happened to him if he was a car salesman or insurance salesman."
But Gene Stallings, coach of the Phoenix Cardinals, said he could well understand how much pressure Ditka was under.
"It's surprising there are not more of them," Stallings said of the attack that hospitalized Ditka "You hear of the stress all the time. And the bad eating habits. I should know about
that. And you don't get a lot of sleep with a job like this."
Ditka, 49, the Bears coach since 1982, suffered a mild heart attack following a workout at the team's suburban Lake Forest practice complex. His condition was upgraded to fair yesterday, and he was reported o be joking with his doctor and free of pain.
Steve Kazor, an assistant Bears coach, was one of two coaches who brought Dika to the hospital. He said the episode caused him to reflect on how much time and effort goes into the job.
You get here at 4 o'clock in the
morning Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday," Kazor said. "I get home late at night . . . There's the pressure of trying to win a game.
The Bears won two weeks ago on a Monday night, beating San Francisco 10-9, then lost on Sunday to New England 30-7.
Tom Landry, coach of the Dallas Cowboys, said that stress was definitely part of the job — especially when fans get unhappy.
Landry, who has been with Dallas nearly three decades, said he followed an exercise program three to four times a week to keep in shape.
NHL reviews tape, nullifies suspension
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The National Hockey League rescinded the final eight games of a 10-game suspension against Chicago Blackhawks' defender David Manson yesterday, saying it could not determine whether he started a fight after a game against Vancouver.
Referee Bill McCreary originally ruled that Manston instigated the fight with Camucks forward David Bruce after last Friday's
game, which Vancouver won 5-2. That led to the automatic suspension of Manson, who sat out the Blackhawks' next two games.
Manson received a two-minute penalty for instigating, a five-minute penalty for fighting, a match penalty and a game misconduct.
Manson and Bruce each were fined $500. Their teams each were fined $25,000.
