6The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, October 7, 1987 Sports : Rappin' a while with author LT Exuding his trademark confidence and exhibiting his natural gift of quotability; New York Giants star linebacker Lawrence Taylor rolled into town Monday to promote his book LT: Living on the Edge. Since the NFL players' strike began two weeks ago, Taylor has been taking it easy, visiting Atlantic City for a few days and spending a week at his home in Houston. Golf, and not "gassers," has occupied his time. Taylor stopped by Chapel Hill on his way to Washington for an appear ance Tuesday night on the Larry King Show. Monday morning he shot a 75 at Finley Golf Course in his bare feet. "I didn't have my clubs or my shoes with me," he said. I bought a new set of clubs in the pro shop, but they didrrt have any shoes to fit me, so I played without them." Monday night, adoring fans and old friends streamed into the Intimate Book Shop at University Mall to share a word or two with the man many consider the greatest defensive player in NFL history. Six straight years as an All-Pro. Four times named the league's Defensive Player of the Year. A living nightmare for opposing quarterbacks everywhere. And it all began right here at UNC, where Taylor earned consensus All America honors in 1980, his senior year. That season North Carolina went 11-1, and only a loss to Okla homa in the eighth week prevented the Tar Heels from a New Year's Day bowl and a shot at the national championship. Decked out in a dark blue wind breaker and Giants cap, and sporting a top-of-the-line Rolex watch, his Super Bowl XXI ring and a gold medallion with his number "56" outlined in diamonds, Taylor signed copies of his book for nearly two hours, fielding questions from repor ters and fans as he did so. "Are you guys gonna play the Bears in the Super Bowl?" one painfully uninformed fan asked LT. MI don't think so," Taylor ans wered, leaving to someone else the task of explaining to the chubby man that the Bears and Giants are in the same conference. "What about the strike," a reporter queried. uDo you really believe in the Heels looking to stay intense for Wake By JAMES SUROWIECKI Sports Editor The mood was subdued in the Skipper Bowles Room Tuesday, as a rather quiet UNC football coach Dick Crum fielded questions from a group of reporters who seemed often disinterested in the proceedings. The press conference resembled in tone Crum's brief and curt appear ance after Saturday's 20-10 loss to Auburn, a loss which was especially painful because for much of the game the Tar Heels had outplayed the then-sixth-ranked Tigers. Crum, though, was much more expansive Tuesday, apparently reco vered from Saturday's post-game blues. It was instead the press corps who wielded the weapon of muteness, creating long, painful silences as Crum waited for another question. The end, when it came, brought with it an almost palpable sense of relief Avoid the lottery blues. Apply now' All apartments on the bus line to UNC.

Both sides are dead wrong," LT said. I look at what we are asking for, and I see nothing worth going on strike for. But then I look at what the owners are offering, and I see nothing worth going to work for." And on it went from 7 p.m. until almost 9. Thirty-seven people bought the book, nearly doubling the pre vious number of sales since its release in mid-July, according to store employees. Somebody asked Taylor if he was going to watch the Giants replace ment players play against San Fran cisco's scabs on Monday. "Only if the TV happens to be on and I happen to be in the room and I happen to glance that way," Taylor said. "I was planning to play some marbles tonight anyway." That remark was just one of many which drew a chuckle from the crowd of 50 or so which huddled around the display counter turned pulpit. As usual, Taylor held the fans' rapt attention without even trying. "What do you think about the scabs?" someone asked. "I have nothing against them," Taylor said of the replacement players hired by the owners in an effort to break the NFL's third strike in the past 13 years. "If some guy is making $300 a week and he suddenly has a chance to make $5,000 a week, he should do it. You've got to go with the economics. "The guys I have hard feelings toward are the owners. I think they are showing what they think of us by going out and hiring new players to take our place." s "Have you thought of crossing the picket line at all?" another reporter asked. "Yes, I have. I wanted to go back a couple different times last week, but each time something would happen to keep me from doing it," Taylor said. "The last time was on Friday. I was ready to go back to work, but from the tense atmosphere which ruled the conference. It was a half-hour dominated by a discussion of the past, of the road which UNC has traveled while com piling a 3-2 record. On the minds of everyone was the Auburn game, and how the Tar Heels would rebound from such a disappointing loss. "The game was one that we thought we could go in and play with them, and we did," Crum said. "The team played hard, and their level of competitiveness was very high, so I can't fault their effort. We made some mistakes offensively and one big mistake on defense, and that cost us." Crum seemed less concerned about the impact of the loss than did certain of the reporters, as he emphasized that UNC had not made an extraor dinary investment in the outcome of last Saturday's game. "It was not an emotional blowout," he said. "It was not an emotional, last-ditch effort to save the farm. I think these guys will be back around. You play hard so that playing with fiagwaaBSigB is NO WAV OUT 7:15 9:30 iA iwiil IIMII THE LMnS DAYLIGHTS 7:00 9:45 E uti win tram that morning I saw a picture of some of the guys in the picket line and I said, 'No, I can't do it. "I have no respect, though, for the guys who never even gave the strike a chance to work. At least stay out a week and give it a chance to develop. As for the guys filing back in now, I have nothing against them. They've got a life to live, too. You've got a family, a wife, a girlfriend some times both." Not all questions merited such lengthy answers. The toughest offen sive lineman? "Jimbo Covert on the Bears. He's a real nice guy. Like, hell spit on you and say 'I'm sorry. " And what about Jets lineman Mark Gastineau? "He's arrogant, he's self-centered and he's a son of a bitch." And Mark Bavaro, the Giants tight end? "He's real quiet, real strange. If he asks you a question, you feel real honored that he actually talked to you. I don't think he said 20 words to me all last year." How about Walter Payton, the NFL's all-time leading rusher? "He's all right. But Kevin Mack and Herschel Walker are tougher to bring down." Later, the conversation turned to matters closer to home. Topics like fraternity parties and Dick Crum came up, and Taylor was more than happy to give his opinion on them. "You still have fraternities on this campus?" Taylor joked. "We used to tear them up. What's that one over near Granville? The Pikas? Yeah, those are wild guys. I loved those guys." It's no secret, however, that Taylor never held a similar place in his heart for his college coach. "It's not that I dislike Crum as a person," LT explained. "It's just that we never saw eye to eye as far as football goes. Another problem is that I don't think he knows people. I don't think he can handle people. "But that's all in the past. I'm not here to criticize the man. I had a great four years here. We were lucky enough to win some ACC champion ships and go to some bowl games. Hopefully they (UNC) can do it again. And maybe Crum's the man who can do it for them. "But I don't think so." intensity becomes a habit, not a happening." ' Perhaps the Tar Heel who has been most successful at remaining consist-' ently intense this year is nose guard Carlton Bailey, who had a pheno menal IS unassisted tackles against Auburn and was in Tiger quarterback Jeff Burger's face all day long. Bailey has keyed the resurgent UNC defense, and Crum, as has become his custom, raved about his dominant lineman. "He's having an exceptional year," Crum said. "He's doing everything we thought he could do and hoped he could do. He's matured a lot, leadership-wise, and he's been a real key to the success of our defense. He has had as outstanding a season as any player we've had here." Talk did eventually turn to the Tar Heels' upcoming game with the 4-0 Deacons of Wake Forest, who are led by former UNC head coach Bill Dooley. Crum dismissed any notion of a rivalry between him and Dooley as a product of media hype, but adopted his usual attitude of warning when speaking of the Deacons. "Wake comes in with an unde feated football team and a defense that has only given up one touch down," he said. "It's going to be a real tough, physical football game and one that we're going to have to play hard." Of the miserly Deacon defense, Crum said, "They're extremely well coached, they're aggresive and they pursue well." He also had praise for his own defensive squad, though, which has played in stark contrast to the defense which last year gave up 30 points in seven of its last eight games. Crum's one bone of contention was Satur day's 33-yard Burger-to-Freddy Wey gand touchdown pass, a pass which resulted from a blown coverage. "Other than that one play, I thought our defense played really well," Crum said. "They're coming along, and they've made progress. They aren't the kind of guys who are going to sit there and rest on their laurels." Given Crum's vision of the games before the ACC schedule as making up a "preseason," resting on their laurels should be the last thing the Tar Heels are thinking about.

The talks, the first in 11 days, involved only the chief negotiators management's Jack Donlan and the union's Gene Upshaw. The site was undisclosed. The two sides returned to the bargaining table following an eight hour meeting in Chicago of the union's 28 player representatives. The new talks also followed a weekend in which both sides seemed to lose owners, because stadiums were filled to just 25 percent capacity rather than the usual 90 percent; players, because of nearly 90 defec tions and reports that many more, including entire teams, might cross picket lines this week. "I think the pressures are beginning to build up on both sides," Commis sioner Pete Rozelle said in Washing ton where he was testifying before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee on the NFL's TV package. Owners, meanwhile, put more pressure on players by moving up the reporting deadline from Friday to Wednesday. That means a player who wants to get paid for this weekend's games must report to his team by Wednesday, two days earlier than last week.

"When you have other players out there playing and you know you should be out there it feels a little bit ridiculous," said Mike Singletary, the Chicago Bears' player rep, who added that he was "very optimistic" a settlement would be reached by this weekend.

"He (Upshaw) made a com mitment to the reps that he would not let any single issue hold up reaching an agreement," it said. Boomer Esiason, Cincinnati's player rep, said afterward, "We agreed that if they reached agreement in all other areas, free agency would not be an issue." If true, that could mean a quick settlement because Donlan has said he thinks the two sides could agree on other issues such as pensions, severance, drug testing and roster size.
