PRODUCTION STAFF Vinson Dewberry Cheryl Hines Anne Marion CONTRIBUTORS Robin Adams Fred Jeter Collie Nicholson / a INSTANT REPLAYS " Hey, Did Edited By-ALLEN JOHNSON i 5With apologies once again to Andy Roonfcy, ever notice ... -- now coaches, according to too many sportscasters,'don't get upset anymore? They<get "livid." - how, even when Winston-Salem State Coach "Big House" Gaines lambasted the media for ignoring small college sports, the media proved his point by ignoring his comments? -- how, when Natalie Cole is hospitalized, it's for a "drug problem" but, when Liz Taylor is hospitalized, it's for "chemical dependency?'1?* - all this foolish."talk about football players high-fiving and dancing in the end zone? Let lem dance. ii i were a coach and one ot my players scored a game-winning touchdown, he could do the Alligator for att I care. tfTom Landry had let Butch Johnson perform his "California Quake," maybe the Cowboys wouldn't have been ' thrown out of the saddle so early this year. As for John Riggins being so goshdarned dignified for Handing the ball to the official instead of dancing, I'll bet it's more 'cause he can't dance than anything else. What's more, how dignified was Riggins when he wore a Mr. T haircut before Mr. T even thought of it? -- how ESPN can televise : everything from day-old basketball games to Australian rules football fn Kiohliohtc rvf tKo 1 Q 1 A Cimnr Ds>??>l IU iligllilglUJ V.'l I I IV I 7 IT lJU J.7V1 UU W 1 (I know there wasn't a 1914 Super Bowl; I'm just making a point) to billiards, and still refuse to televise black college basketball? Foul!!! -- how only coaches whose games are televised are acknowledged by most media as "geniuses," and how all of them happen to be white? Here's my vote for Davie Whitney, John Thompson, Bighouse Gaines and, the most deservirfg of all, John McLendon, who ran the Four Corners in the '40s. -- how the ACC's arrogance knows no bounds? Before you accuse me of sour grapes, I have nothing against the ACC and, in fact, graduated from the school currently ranked No. 1 in the country. But the league's TV spots this year have got to go.
