Lame Yuk coach Jon Gruden, while talking about TE Jerramy Stevens, had to start the season by saying the one thing no coach ever wants to say: "We hope to have a Comspeedy trial." Bada-binedy gold. Turns out Gruden "guilty on all got his wish counts" for a DUI charge in 5 picks to pass George Blanda March. Apparently Gruden's next wish will be for "a speedy (277). One career record he sentencing." may not get: two victories to pass John Elway (148). JERRY SAYS: Eagles by 6. Seattle at Tampa Bay Let's NAM Y.

The tournament began 4 'a hours late Friday, and play was suspended again around 11 a.m. Saturday. All but 32 players had completed the first round when the second delay began and the remaining golfers were expected back this morning to finish.
