Decorum and language that one would experience at a White House news conference it was reported that the patriots owner Victor Kiam has promised a Mammoth changes in the clubs management based on this incident.

Hahn features a Slick attack of William Cotton handing to Bobby Pierce pitching to Tracy Gamble and passing to Brenton Abram. The Hawks done to have much depth. Their defense Isnit As muscular As last year. But they can handle the rockets. Rhein Mains sorry season reminds me of preseason 1989. While Warren Stanley got ready to coach the rockets two of his former assistants Bill Carey and Gerry Jenkins sat in the stands and scoffed at How Stanley would go nowhere without their help. Stanley a rockets merely won a second straight Safe title. Now Stanley watches from the stands while Carey and Jenkins assist Jose Valentin. To nowhere.
