...changes this year even if its officials had wanted to. They did not; back solidly in the black, thanks largely to the success of the intermediate Cordoba and the compacts-Plymouth Volare and Dodge Aspen-Chrysler is tinkering with the three only a little. Volare, for example, gets a "super six" engine that is 20% more fuel efficient than...
That the Colts were ready for the race to the Super Bowl was obvious from the first day of training, when every member of the squad reported to Goucher with a signed contract. Thus the Colts began practice with no holdouts and no distractions-the only N.F.L. team to do so in an era of free agents and player unrest. While the players went through drills under muggy Maryland skies, the emphasis was on honing a club that would be young enough-average age: 25-to contend for years...
...Colts resemble the 1971 Miami Dolphins and the 1968 Minnesota Vikings-all sound, young clubs with rosters of largely unheralded collegians on the brink of Super Bowl seasons.

Along with cooperative pleasure, hostility, subservience, competitiveness, narcissism are all at play, sometimes in conflict with one another. Inner conflicts occur, however, when subconscious primitive urges (read id) and value systems (read super ego) clash. A player about to realize a "forbidden desire"?from simply winning to smashing a ball at a female opponent?is a player in trouble. There are other divided and ultimately unstrung souls: the man who needs to feel great hostility in order to play hard, but whose...
