To the e reader, please call me an ambulance and a Medical Response Team. By now, it is common knowledge that my wife believes me man to be a narrow-minde- d who sleeps, eats and thinks of nothing but hunting. Her frustration over my caveman mentality, primitive vocabuinterests and lary has resulted in yet another call to authorities for domestic violence. Now recovered from my beating, this latest incident reminded me of a previous column. She (my wife) insists that if I don't broaden my interest and vocabulary, I'll soon be hunting for another "doe." In an effort to salvage this sinking ship and buy time for its ailing captain, I've sue- - . cumbed to her request that I not engage in conversation which includes the words elk, estrus, rack, rut, shoot, stalk, sneak, scope, hunt, hike, horn, huge, hog, muzzle, monster, mulie, deer, doe, duck, bugle, buck, bull, bow, binos, cow, calve, camp, climb, cougar, cat and camo. With the greater portion of my communication skills now severed and lying in a corner of the house we call 'time out,' I fear this week's column would best serve the reader if watched through the mystical methods of mime.

"This is a game for Europe and a game for hardcore fans of both teams," said Alistair Kirkwood, managing director of NFL UK. "The challenge we've got is to keep all the various stakeholders happy." Ticket preference will go to season ticket holders and members of fan clubs, particularly in the United Kingdom. About 10,000 fans are expected to travel from the United States, only a fraction of the anticipated sellout crowd of 90,000.

Landis is accused of using banned synthetic testosterone during his Tour de France victory last year. He appeared for the second straight day at his arbitration hearing in a yellow tie, one that matches the color of the jersey he won. A three-ma- n panel will decide whether to uphold his positive doping test. If it does, Landis could face a two-yea- r ban from cycling and become the first person in the history of the race to have his title stripped.
