The Book that is. The linebacker whose full name is Brian bos Worth goes for $11 million Over 10 years. But that the Seattle sea Hawks problem. Bosworth s autobiography the Boz is scheduled to hit bookstores next month. Which is when the Boz is scheduled to hit people s brains into their or so he writes about War on the foot Ball Field. Actually Rick Reilly wrote it. Bosworth merely spoke into a tape recorder about his life in Texas Oklahoma and Seattle. Reilly rallied the ideas into the funniest Book i be read since Ball that s the same Reilly whose hilarious piece in sports illustrated two years ago revealed Bosworth s spitting and Eye gouging. Reilly is simply one of the Cleverest sports writers in America. Team him with the Boz and you have a Book that makes Jim Mcmahon s Best Selling autobiography read like a bed time Story. Samples from the land of Boz the Best tackles for me Are when i get a flying hit with a forearm right against his ear Hole. I always go for the ear Hole. The head s the target but the ear Hole is the bulls Eye. Anytime you hit the ear Hole you re hitting the head sideways and that mean you be got a Chance to give a Guy a pinched nerve and that Means he s got to go out. One Down. Ten to Well maybe there s one Guy i d like to wipe out for More than a game maybe two or three games and that s Elway. I can t stand Elway. The Way he walks. That horse face of ill even wipe out a referee if i have to. And i have. I kind of like it. I la catch them right in the Middle of their stomachs. They just lie there for the longest time trying to get their wind Back wondering Why they did t stay Home and mow the everybody gives me grief about my earrings. Well not everybody. Just nerds and University " Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer hardly said anything at halftime. He just smokes his cigarette and listens in while the position coaches go Over what we re doing wrong. Switzer in t a coach. Switzer is a Recruiter with a big office and a big name. But he s the Best Recruiter in the " Switzer never pulled an Ayatollah Paterno on us either. He never put up a list on the Tea bulletin Board what you can say and what you can t say and anybody that screws up gets a Finger chopped off. Switzer was never sure what he was going to say much less try to Tell us what we could some places i went visiting colleges were unreal. At Texas tech i showed up and they begot a limousine and a girl waiting for me. They Don t say it but it s pretty obvious you could Havethe girl right then and there and you would t have to feel bad about not calling her the next Day if you know what i Bucky Fox Bozman Bosworth Switzer in t a Cheater. Switzer does t have a slush fund and does t set up payments to players or any of that. He s smarter than that. Switzer just turns his Back and lets players fend for themselves. He never wanted to know How it was that i was living in a Nice $500-a-month Condo watching a big screen to driving a jeep and a Corvette and always operating with $2,000 in my checking account. And he never asked. Neither did our athletic director Donnie Duncan or our Bonehead univer sity president Frank e. For error Horton higher learning s answer to College football is a year round full time Job not some stamp collecting Hobby. And the National brain deals in Kansas City want you to get a summer Job bagging groceries at the local a a. " professors hate the line the of football team wants a school it can be proud of because they know it s really True. At of the Tail wags the dog. I mean when was the last time you saw 75,000 people pay 20 Bucks on a saturday afternoon to watch the debate team i knew a Guy at another school who took almost nothing but correspondence courses. All he had to do was write three papers for each class and the three papers were sitting in the football office files. All he had to do was copy the things and he passed. The Guy s degree should be been in advanced playing Kansas state is about As exciting As visiting a great aunt in a nursing Home. They were i was never worried because we were playing the Oklahoma state aggie and the aggie gag More in Norman than Reagan reaches for grecian there were Only a few Guys i did t get along with on the team and Tony Casillas was one of them. Casillas was just dumb. He screwed up and let his wife negotiate his pro contract. So he s stuck in Atlanta with a contract that pays him like a part time Burger King some Guys at of especially some of the City Guys would freebase a lot of cocaine. One Day 1 happened to see them doing it on the Day of the game. I m not one to preach to anybody not with All the stuff i be done. I said at least come tothe game with a Clear head. There s a lot Riding on this season i never saw it happen on game Day i did t like a few of the Miami hurricanes because i could Tell they were All coked up. Their eyes were big As Spaghetti plates. I asked Vinny Testaverde about it later on in the year and he said that yeah a few of their Guys always got coked up for games. I Don t think he liked it much our defense at the end was tighter than Michael Jackson s new Why does every other sport have a human being for a commissioner while the nil has a Guy with a face like a Turtle without a Shell the Denver fans were screaming profanities spitting tobacco and Beer at me and grinning their Black Teeth off. And some of the men were just As bad. Drum cymbals " the oilers were the dirtiest team we played All season and i liked i cold cocked the chiefs quarterback Bill Kenney so hard that when they turned him Over his eyes were rolled up in his head and his Mouth was bleeding. I must say Mike Tyson could t have done a better you la like Reading the i especially like that hard hitting reference to Bill Kenney since he stole my Girlfriend 10 years ago. More than the Coke and cheating and Switzer Srole i found Bosworth s helmet Hunting the most jarring Section of the Book. Really though what s shocking this is football. It s a vicious game even on the local level. Take the Boz s namesake William Bozman of the Greenham common crusaders in the . He was my Choice As Safe s preseason All Star safety although when stripes Magazine showcased the team i acc Dently ran Greenham linebacker Ter ence Carter s picture where Bozman s should have been. That face next to Bosworth does belong to Bozman. Bozman s coach Randy Garibay Calls the free safety a gentleman off the Field but a Savage head Hunter on the Greenham assistant coach Dick Madden says his nickname is the Boz just like Bosworth. He hits like Bosworth too. If you Don t think so ask Todd Jackson of Milden Hall. Last year Bozman put him out for the year. He just waxed hey Bozman you need a ghostwriter the stars and stripes Connors Curvin Rodriguez win by Ben Abram staff writer Berlin Ellen Connors Bob Rodriguez and Ken Curvin won Safe Golf championships thursday As anticipated. The Continental sports conference s Connors and Curvin took the women s an men s open titles respectively in a Breeze. But Mediterranean sports conference Veteran Rodriguez had to stave off a determined bid by the United kingdom Larry Barnes before finally emerging a two shot Victor in the men s masters 40and Over Competition.

This is the Best week i Ever have Hadin Golf Connors said following a Surpri singly easy 24-stroke Victory Over Csc teammate Georgia Catoe who turned Ina last round 82. I struck the Ball superbly All week could have putted a lot better but All in All it was Good steady Golf Connors said. I slipped up on a couple of Hole today once when a photographer got to me. I asked him not to snoot when we were putting and he told me lady the colonel told me to get pictures or the leaders he went away after that and i was alright again Connors said. Catoe played Golf in High school an also at the air Force Academy but this was the first serious Golf she has played in three years and she was Well pleased with her efforts. I was burned out after eight year of competitive Golf when i got out of the Academy. So i completely stopped playing the game for a couple of years. I got my interest Back late last summer and i took things seriously again tins year she said. It rained thursday and Curvin said i affected his game More than it should have. I was playing really Good until the Rains came he was two under after 10 but my hands and gloves got wet and i lost control of the club. It should t have happened but i just could t Cope with the situation too Well. I played Good steady Golf All week but As every golfer always says i could have been better he said.
