Though Jerry Rice is hoping to return on Dec. 15, the 49ers
think it's virtually impossible that their star wideout, who
underwent reconstructive knee surgery on Sept. 2, will play this
season. But as club president Carmen Policy says, "Jerry Rice is
not of this earth, so we don't judge him by mortal or earthly
standards."... With their initiative for a new stadium crushed
by a 58% to 42% margin in their home county, the Steelers may
trigger a clause in their Three Rivers Stadium contract that
allows them to break the lease two years after giving notice.
The End Zone
The name of the New Jersey judge who will preside over a hearing
for Eagles center Steve Everitt, who faces charges of speeding,
drunken driving and possession of drug paraphernalia, is John
Madden.
