Show Thursday, November Chrisfensen oete rave Bruins' Sharee House selected as By JOHN NELSON AP Sports Writer Todd Christensen is getting a lot of rave reviews in his first season as an NFL analyst for NBC, and he's really Impressing himself, "Kind of like being the best surfer in Alaska, Isn't it?" That's just the kind of guy he is. A five-tim- e Pro Bowl tight end for the Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders, Christensen is making the transition from the playing field to the broadcast booth. He's keeping his new line of work in perspective as only he could. "I'm now Charlie Jones' 52nd 0 years as a partner in his MVP in Region 4 girls soccer Region Four soccer coaches have selected Mountain View's Share House as the Most Valuable Player in the league. Three other Bruin players : joined House on the first team list, along with four players from Orem and one AB-Regl- each from Provo, Pleasant Grove, American Fork and Timpview. The Brains were undefeated in league play this year. - House is a senior fullback for the Bruins. Other Mountain View players on the first team . -- ; included Teresa CardaH (Junior, forward), Tisha Cox (senior, forward) and Crystal Watson (senior, fullback). Orem players on the first team were Lori McArthur (junior, ferward), Jerilynn Honey-cu- tt (junior, halfback), Sheri AJlred (junior, halfback) and Wendy Farley (sophomore, full- back;. The remainder of the first team included Provo's Jenny Covey (junior, halfback), Pleas ant Grove's Kathy Luke (sophomore, halfback), American Fork's All Lamb (sophomore, fullback) and Timpview 's Shan- non Sudweeks (sophomore, goalie). The second team included: Joni Hemmond and Lindy McArthur, Orem; Jamie Dodge and Emma Rode, Mountain View; Jenny Tolman, Melissa Cosell," Christensen said. "Certainly, there have been some unqualified players in the booth, but there Just isn't a replacement for playing the game, particularly in understanding the nuances. "Nothing happens on the field that I haven't seen. That's not arrogance. It's a precursor to if being effective in the booth you have the other skills, the production skills, the gift of gab. The difficulty is in being tempted to use football jargon. There's a group out there that Ikes it and a group that doesn't. I don't want to sound too pompous." all-tim- Honorable mention honors went to Mountain View's Mandy Hodges, Shoehauna Brown, Debbie Ellis and Laurel Gooch; Orem s Jlii Martin, Alesis Smith and Jenni Cobb; American Fork's Mary Bates and Jill Anderson; Provo's Mia Zimmerman and AHyson Haws; Pleasant Grove's Angle Jones, Jay-ryn- n Jensen and Alice Howser; and Timpvkw's Tiff Seamons and Jen Warnkk. ing commentator for ESPN's st "SportsLook" and also was a fear the syndicated TV series "American Gladiators." He joined NBC Sports last June and was paired with Jones. Until now, Jones' TV partner probably was Frank Shorter at the 1388 Seoul Olympics. It was this team that misidentified the winner of the final as Nixon men's Kiprotich rather than Paul Ereng. ft was an understandable mistake. Both are from from Kenya, and both wore red shorts and white jerseys. Actually, it was Shorter who first made the bad call, but Jones tor the blame. "We have blown this call," Jones said on the air, his voice shaking in horror, "Gentlemen, we were wrong. ... We made the mistake of the Olympic Games." Then, be By ED SCHUYLER JR.

In his role as analyst, Christensen is and generally a plus. He makes a few rookie mistakes, such as calling the Houston Oilers the Raiders twice during an Oilers-Ram- s game on Nov. 4. But, that's not his biggest problem. His biggest problem is that he's a funny guy, and it doesn't always come across on TV. He occasionally sounds a little too bookish. He uses words like "antithesis" and "poignant," and admits to a "certain semblance of verbal perspicacity and generic academia." Try figuring that out without using an electronic chalkboard. d et Itr.gtv, 'i?d t iT stalUyfj - ATLA5TA Atiaua Ia a Sat V 3W5 tfcs- 5r- it srtjster fhii v.J ixieidA a VjfuM?7iiw r cry pajjj to yf'jorfj: atf.v hw Cnrri&al lype, pert&ps Tite AS-w- WiIitwfLi.'e a w taken crjt of trainirang in October because of tetiderrjes to the left tore arJde.

Bonds knows he'll be getting more money in 1991, but won't guess exactly how much more. Bonds, who won the MVP award Mocday, just hopes the Pittsburgh Pirates won't drag him through; arbitration again this winter. ',' Last February, the Pirates won in arbitration and paid Bonds S850 000. Bonds had sought $1.6 million, "I just want what I worked for," he said. "I Just hope they talk this time.
