Bob Hille's Starting Five

Sporting News, The, March 6, 2000 by Bob Hille

1 Marty McSorley. His stick-work caused a ER. black eye. On the bright side, NHL licensing gurus envision a new arcade game in every Chuck E. Cheese: "Whack a Winger."

2 Yankees camp. The annual special on the Legends Field dessert menu: Strawberry court shake.

3 Ricky Williams. He spent two hours in the slam for refusing to sign a traffic ticket. Apparently it didn't have any impossible-to-meet incentive clauses.

4 Jim Harrick Jr. Rhode Island is investigating him for allegedly falsifying a university expense account, the same thing that got the old man canned at UCLA. You know the old saying: The American Express year-end statement doesn't fall far from the tree.

5 The NFL on CBS. Mike Ditka will join the studio show, which makes perfect programming sense: Touched by an Angel, preceded by Kiss of Death for the Saints.

Playing the game well is about defending your position, earning respect, exchanging favors, and keeping your sanity amid the chaos. To get started, you need to know what you really want from work, then orient your political moves toward those goals. It all starts with strong relationships and helping others; those people in return make up the support system that helps you realize your goals. Here’s how it’s done.
