...never really wanted to. I came close once and it was a time when I was working at Fox and Jimmie Johnson was also at Fox and he?d left the Dallas Cowboys and was doing a studio show and had just accepted the job at the Miami Dolphis. And we were having dinner and he and I had started talking about it-like what you?d learn by being in television that you would use if you went back as a coach. And I?m getting excited about it.

Guests, who paid $1,325 to $2,670 for the trip, could experience the thrust and heave of great tectonic plates of nourishment at prebreakfast, breakfast, midmorning bouillon, lunch, tea, a five-course dinner and, of course, midnight buffet. Jay Johnson, 23, a well- and happily fed store owner from Durham, N.C., speared a chunk of king crab and admitted that anyplace else ''it would cost me a fortune to eat like this.'' Passengers on such cruise ships tend to be middle-aged or elderly. They have, perhaps, toured Europe's museums...
