If Bill Walsh is so smart, can the 49ers do it again? For the answers to these and other questions, tune in this season – and turn to page 30); The Great Football Debates (The one-back. Instant replays. Future offenses. By those who know: Don Shula, Chuck Knox, Mike Ditka, Dan Reeves, Bill Parcells and Dan Hemming) Ed-Die…Ed-Die…(Eddie Murray is an enigma.

Now 26, he’s back in the big leagues with St. Louis, still trying to keep his promise) Dick Young’s America (Forty years ago Dick Young changed the way sports is reported in the newspapers.

Meet an American institution) Interview: Donald Fehr (Strike three? Baseball players are up in arms over drug testing and threats to free agency. And management is holding firm. Here’s what’s going through the mind of the man with his finger on the button) Departments – Fanfare; Sport Talk; Sport Quiz; Finish Line (Riding the buses in the bushes)
