The Starting Five

Sporting News, The, Nov 1, 1999

What the sports world is talking about this week

1 World Series festivities. Funny, did you notice that the All-Century Team's manager wasn't a minority?

2 The Jets' QB situation. It could be worse--Bob Davie could be calling plays for Rick Mirer.

3 Halloween, Get the kiddies in the mood by telling a scary story: "Once upon a time, the bases were loaded and Kenny Rogers was pitching ..."

4 The Sabres. The season's rallying cry: Win one for the Dominator, which may be exactly what they do if they keep up this pace.

5 Kobe's broken hand, It affected his shooting and passing.... OK, it affected his shooting.
