The Starting Five

Sporting News, The, Dec 14, 1998

What the sports world is talking about this week

1 Baseball's payroll disparity, Small-revenue teams are caught between a rock and last place.

2 Officiating in the NFL, It's so bad, major league umpires have noticed.

3 Gambling at Northwestern. A clue there was a problem: The university library has "no-limits" tables.

4 Hall of Fame voting. Baseball writers choose Cooperstown's inductees for '99. One has McGwire No. 7 on his ballot.

5 The Fiesta Bowl. If you think it's a true championship game, then you probably didn't know the C in BCS is silent.
