Terry Bradshaw, the former teammate, golfing buddy and dinner companion of Mark Malone, has joined the critics of the Steelers' starting quarterback. "I've come to the conclusion that in the big games he has yet to learn how to play well," Bradshaw said recently on Pittsburgh's KDKA-TV. "Whether or not he's nervous or apprehensive or doesn't have the confidence to face the Dallas blitz...I don't know. I know they don't want to play [second-year pro] Scott Campbell, but I think he can do the job."

What did old pal Malone have to say about all this? " Bradshaw never knew any loyalty before," Malone said. "He's the same guy who would come into a locker room after a game and tell three reporters one story and tell three more the opposite story. He'd tell me to meet him at a restaurant or golf course and then not show up. The next day, he would say it looked too cloudy, or that he got tied up on a phone call. That's just Bradshaw. He's as wishy-washy now as he was when he played here."

The 1-7 Falcons have approached Rollie Dotsch, coach of the USFL's Birmingham Stallions about Dan Henning's job. George Allen's son, Bruce, also may join the Falcons as a vice-president.
