NFL WHINES TO WEEPY VERMEIL


....about wine.

Frequently sobby Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil promised ancient kicker Morten Anderson a $500 bottle of Bryant Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon if he successfully booted the winning field goal against the Raiders last Sunday. Anderson came through and the Chiefs won, 27-24 improving to a league best 10-1. But there's no vino for Mort. Vermeil's offer constituted a violation of the NFL's policy against performance related bonuses that aren't included in contracts. "We'll have to wait until after the season to share a glass of wine at my house," said Vermeil. "I just can hardly believe it."


("Falcon Crest " cast members can't believe it either and show their disappointment at the NFL's draconian ruling)
