The Starting Five

Sporting News, The, Nov 22, 1999

What the sports world is talking about this week

1 Quarterback concussions. "I'm not thinking about retiring. Oh, and did I tell you that I'm not thinking about retiring?"

2 The Rockets. Proof there's a first time for everything: Scottie Pippen was right.

3. ESPN and MLB go to court. Or to quote Harold Reynolds' tailor, "This suit could get ugly."

4. Virginia Tech. What's harder to believe: That Hokies fans think an online campaign will affect the BCS rankings or that Hokies fans have computers?

5. Thanksgiving. It's a day to count our national blessings. Like, for the mute button during half-time of the Cowboys-Dolphins game.
