Fish story?

Prime Time's new ambition is a whale of a tale

Click here for more on this story

It's Week 4 of the NFL season and Sports Illustrated's Peter King joined Bob Lorenz, Trev Alberts and Irving Fryar on the NFL Preview Show to discuss some of the recent developments in the NFL.

Bob Lorenz: We know Deion Sanders from football, baseball and now he is with CBS. Are his days in professional sports numbered?

Peter King: There is something fishy going on here, Bob. Sanders told me this week that he is done playing football and baseball. The one thing that he wants to do, and he is serious about this, is fish professionally. He wants to join the BASS fishing Tour and do BASS Masters or whatever. We might see him out there with sponsors on his back.

Lorenz: On Monday, bad boy of the Patriots, Terry Glenn, will report. Who is going to throw to him?

King: That's a good question. This weekend the Patriots go to Miami. Drew Bledsoe wanted to travel with the team, but the doctors said no. I assume they are afraid of what the air pressure will do his internal injuries. So, if the doctors are afraid to let him fly, are they going to let him play within the next few weeks? I doubt it. Look for Bledsoe to be out for at least three weeks.

Lorenz: That doesn't sound good. Because of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, the NFL and the networks have lost some revenue what is the NFL going to do to help out?

King: The NFL will try to things that don't cost them a lot of money, but will help out the networks. One of the first things they are going to do is consider playing the Pro Bowl in prime time either the Saturday or the Monday eight days after the Super Bowl, to try to help ABC make more money in ad sales.
