...first season. This year, following a reorganization, the "new" W.F.L. did little better. By the time it died last week, few fans cared. Meanwhile, 380 players were jobless. Among them are a handful of celebrated N.F.L. expatriates, including Running Backs Larry Csonka and Jim Kiick and Wide Receiver Paul Warfield from the Miami Dolphins. When, if ever, they can overcome legal entanglements to rejoin the Dolphins or sign with another N.F.L. team is uncertain. What is certain is that an era has ended. The gold-rush days of expansion are over...
...unlikely fight in the A.F.C. East with the Buffalo Bills and the New England Patriots. Heading into a showdown game with the Bills last Sunday, the Dolphins finally seemed to be regaining their championship form. Quarterback Bob Griese was passing with authority after a shaky start, Wide Receiver Paul Warfield was back in business after missing five games with a leg injury, and Miami's brilliant defense was once again throttling opposition attacks.

Theodore Sorel hoots his way through Prince Escalus, Wyman Pendleton is a hoarse Montague, and Donald Warfield's Paris is a proper stuffed shirt...

When Csonka, Kiick and Warfield signed with the Toronto Northmen for a combined total of $3 million, everybody figured the World Football League was on its way a lot quicker than the old AFL. After all, the AFL was knee-deep in pro wrestlers, cowboys, antique Olympians, mystics, and castoff construction workers for a good part of their first five years of existence. Back then, no one thought of tapping Paul Hornung or Bart Starr on the shoulder and asking him if he would be interested in mere cash. These were gods and they were playing in the big leagues...
