...troubling prospect for other NBA franchises is that the Wizards could be rebuilt not only by Jordan but also by bagmen from his corporate sponsor Nike and his agency, SFX Entertainment. With an eye toward parity, the NBA imposes a salary cap on all rosters. Jordan's longtime agent David Falk, who was at the Chicago lunch, is chairman of the SFX Sports Group and presumably will soon be negotiating with the Wizards' top basketball executive. He'll have to; he represents two players on the Wizards as well. If Jordan is in trouble on the salary cap, will Falk...
...during the NFC divisional playoffs. Losing to the St. Louis Rams in the fourth quarter, Moss grew angry when field judge Jim Saracino failed to call interference on a pass Moss tried to receive. Standing on the sidelines later, Moss squirted the ref with a water bottle. Moss's agent said he will appeal the fine.

And she, who by 1980 routinely talked about her gay bridge partners, said, "Absolutely...
Dunne handed his information over to a new friend--Mark Fuhrman of O.J. Simpson-trial fame. Fuhrman had just written a book about the trial and was seeking a possible sequel. (His agent was Linda Tripp's pal Lucianne Goldberg.) With the Sutton material in hand, he headed up to Connecticut and, despite being "harassed" by the police, published his own investigation as Murder in Greenwich in June 1998. Fuhrman believes that testimony from the tutor throws into doubt Michael's original alibi and that his new story is "a concoction that puts him at the scene of the crime...
