...Junior Mike Cataldo and sophomore Jon Perry were the projected starters at inside linebacker heading into the season before injuries sidelined them in camp...
...Acts who broke through in the '80s and '90s opened the show. A newly blond Sheryl Crow strutted her stuff in Victorian hippie garb followed by Hendrix aficionado Lenny Kravitz (playing rather louder than the comfort zone for most middle-aged Democrats), a soberly besuited Jon Bon Jovi and a beaming k.d. lang. The performers each contributed one or two of their hits, an astute choice for a benefit crowd that nuzzles more contentedly on familiarity than new terrain. When the artist roster first reached back into the 1970s it yielded the laid-back Buffet, who revealed the "play...
...Young Guns But in an evening where musicians perform their own hits, the most telling statements come from the songs specially chosen for the occasion.

...Tittle? Our prognosticators turn their lonely eyes to you and ask "What the--? Can't anybody play this game?" Exhibit A: Miami, where the 'Fins start off the year 1 AM (after Marino) with either Damon Huard or Jay Fiedler calling the signals. On the other side, Mr. Jon Kitna steps in to try to make Mike Holmgren forget Brett Favre, which is a bit like trying to make Gwyneth forget Brad. Not a great game to watch, or to pick, but making the tough calls is what the Line is all about, so take the Hawks and two points...
