I' m >ure it will generate a collective sigh of relief from a few million TV watche" - and hopefully, a station manager or two might take notice. The weather reports all start with the terrific co mputer-generated map s and diagrams presented by both local and national TV meteorologists. However. they insist on standing in front of their display and waving their arms madly around. which is distracting , infuriating. and adds zi lch to the report. A typical example: The weather reporter announces the temperature in Boston is 74 degrees. then he walks across the screen to point at the number on 'the map. Then the reporter shows how a front is moving from the Southwest, following the station manager's instructions: "Crouch low, sweep arms around crazily and move to the center of the screen. Stand in front of the l10fne city data. Smile proudly. Point out the local forecast because the map i' now completel y obscured ... Why can't the old rubbertipped pointers used by our grade school geography teachers .( who stood thoughtfully off to the side while lecturing) be retired from the chalk trays of America and put back into service?

Bates improved to 3-3 since Dave Wannstedt resigned, but he'll be replaced after the season by LSU coach Nick Saban. who accepted the Miami job Saturday.

Halley's Comet comes around every 76 years. The Boston Red Sox hadn't won the World Ser.ies in 86 years. Nobody ever won a World Series or even a league championship down 0-3 in games, much Jess three outs from a sweep. . A gutsy bettor with blind faith in the Red Sox could have made mil _lions plunking down dough on them at that particularly bleak moment when a sweep by their ancient and annual enemy. the New York Yankees, seemed inevitable. It took a self-proclaimed team of "idiots," undaunted by his1ory or curses. to flip fate around and make 2004 one of the greatest vintage years of sports. There is no more enduring image of the year - what it took to win and what it meant to those who did - than the bloodstained sock of Curt Schilling. It gave new meaning to Red Sox and belongs in the Hall of Fame. Stitched to pitch. Schilling . inspired his teammates and lifted the suffering generations of Red Sox Nation scattered around the globe. It was a medical miracle. if not a heavenly one. the very opposite of what Boston 's many pessimistic fans had come to expect. The signs at Fenway read "Believe," and millions did, even if they feared down to the last out that something, somehow would go wrong as it always had since 1918. Yet Schilling delivered and David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez , Jason Varitek, )ohnny Damon. Kevin Millar, Orlando Cahrera and the others did the rest. stunning the Yankees and . sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals in the most amazing team comeback in sports history. "All empires fall sooner or later." Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said after the Yankees hecame the first baseball team to Jose a sevengame series from a 3-0 lead. ''1918 is gone forever." Boston outfielder Trot Nixon said when the Series ended. "We're not going to have to hear about that again." He was wrong, though in a good way. These Red Sox will hear forever how they broke the so-called Curse of the Bambino. Roll back the calendar to Jan. I and imagine betting on the New England Patriot' to win the Super Bowl en route to an NFL-record 21 game winning streak and the Boston Red Sox to sweep the World Series in the same year. What would you have won if you parlayed those with bets on the starless Detroit Pistons to win the NBA title and the Sunshine State's Tampa Bay Lightning to win the Stanley Cup'' What if. along the way. you ran up the winnings by betting that a single school would win the men's and women's Final Four in basketball. No school ever had. Connecticut did. And wl1at were the odds back then that Vijay Singh would win nine ·times in the year, become golfs first $10 million man. and replace Tiger Woods as No. I in the world'? Or that Switzerland's Roger Federer. uncoached, would become lhe first man since 1988 to win three Grand Slam tenni s titles? "R oger JU · St p1aye d too goo d today, " Andy Roddick said after losing to Federer in the Wimbledon final. "l threw the kitchen sink at him. but he went to the bathroom and got a tub." Singh and Federer weren't huge shocks to rise to the top of their sports after their strung play in the past. but to win on the scale they did was nothing short of extraordinary. There was far less surprise in seeing Lance Armstrong pedal to a record sixth straight Tour de France. Michael Schumacher win a seventh Formula One title or Kurt Busch capture NASCAR's Nextel Cup in a new championship format. Nor. despite their advanced age. was there astonishment in seeing Roger Clemens win a record seventh Cy Young award or Barry Bonds join Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron in the 700-homer club while winning a record seventh MVP. Clemens retired from the Yankees. unretired in a hurry for his hometown Houston Astros. and had one of his finest seasons . Bonds shrugged off a federal grand jury appearance, a thousand questiOns about steroids and the arrest of his personal trainer in the BALCO case. and, at 40, had a career year by anyone's standards. They, like lchiro Suzuki, whose record 26Z hits broke George Sisler's 84-year-old mark, gave the season a golden hue . Michael Phelps imposed himself in such a way at the Athens Olympics, winning eight medah, six of them gold and none a surprise. lf Phelps didn't quite match Mark Spitz's record haul of seven individu•il golds in 1972. he still ruled the pool as no other man since. Morocco's Hicham El Gucrrouj. the greatest middle-di,tance runner of all time. elevated the games by winning the I ,500 gold after failing twice before. then added the 5.000 - a double that hadn 't been ace ompli shed since Paavo Nurmi did it in 1924. Argentina pulled the upset of the games, winning the gold in men's basketball while a humiliated U.S. team. booed in Greece and lambasted at home, settled for bronze . It was a year to take pleasure in the overach1'even1ent ot· il.ttle Sal·n· t Joseph's. No. I in the men's basketball poll. and to cheer for Smarty . Jones. the Seabiscuit of our times. Smarty Jones won millions of fans in his bid for the Triple Crown, and they loved him still even when he came up a length short in the Belmont. Peyton Manning's pursuit of Dan Marino's season TD passing mark - 48 in 1984- has been a wonder to watch. especially seeing him doing it with poise and class and none of the phony celebrations that some other players have displayed to grab attention. "I thought 48 was something no one would touch or get close to." Marino said, adding that if he had to yield the record to anyone he'd be proud that Manning is 1he one.

Sources: Millwood nearing deal with Indians BY TOM WITHERS Associated Press CLEVELAND Free agent right-hander Kevin Millwood is working toward agreement on a one-year contract with the Cleveland Indians. baseball sources told · the Associated Press on Sunday night. Millwood is scheduled to arrive in Cleveland on Monday for a physical, said the sources speaking on the condition of anonymity. But there are still several other details to work through before a contract can be finalized. "This is still a 50-50 proposition, at best," one of the sources said. The sides are still negotiating· the eventual structure of the contract. which is believed to be around $7 million. To this point, a starting pitcher has eluded the Indians in their offseason search to upgrade their rotation. The club has offered multiyear deals to starters Jon Lieber and Matt Clement as well as a one-year contract to David Wells. But in each case, the Indians have been outbid. The 30-year-old Millwood. who spent the past two seasons with Philadelphia, would fit in nicely into the middle of a Cleveland rotation featuring C.C. Sabathia. Jake Westbrook. Cliff Lee and Scott Elarton. Millwood went 9-6 with a 4.86 ERA in 25 starts for the Phillies last season. However. he made only two starts in September after spraining a ligament and tendon in his pitching elbow. Millwood's injury appears to be the main reason why teams have not pursued the eight-year veteran more aggressively this winter. In six seasons with Atlanta. Millwood went 75-46. He was coming off an 18-8 year when the Braves traded him to Philadelphia on Dec. 20. 2002. for catcher Johnny Estrada. Millwood, who has won at least 17 games three . time s. got off to a nice start in his first season.

At least this time Fresno State faces the 18th-ranked Cava'liers of the Atlantic Coast Conference on a neutral field Monday in the MPC Computers Bowl.

"As great a player as Reggie was, he was a better person. and it isn't close,'' Detroit Lions chief executive officer Matt Milien said. "Every life that Reggie touched is better for it." After an All-American senior season at Tennessee. White began his pro career with .the Memphis Showboats of the USFL in 1984. He jo ined the Philadelphia Eagles, who held his NFL rights. after the USFL folded in 1985 . For eight years he was as an integral piece in Philadelphia' s "Gang Green Defense." Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie called White "one of the greatest men ever to play the game of football" and said his "legacy on and off the . football field will never be forgotten." . White then signed as a free agent with Green Bay in 1993 for $17 million over four years. Hi s signin'g, along with a trade for quarterback Brett Favre. helped make the Packers champions again. He was the fjrst major black player to sign with the Packers as a free agent. His decision to choose the Packers was a ·surprise. While visiting various teams. he suggested he would prefer a major city. where he could minister to black youth. The Packers made consecutive Super Bowl appearances, including a win over :"Jew Eng land in 1997, when White set a Super Bowl record with three sacks. White worked tirelessly in .the offseason with inner-city youths. But his image was tarnished when he gave a speech in which he denounced homosexuality and used ethnic stereotypes. White later apologized. White was 39 when he finistied his NFL career with Carolina - his third retirement. He retired for one day before the 1998 season. but then said God had told him he needed to play again, and he returned to the Packers. White retired again after the 1998 season and took a year off from football. After the Packers allowed him out of his contract, White returned to the Panthers last season. White spent eight years with the Eagles and six with the Packers before a final one with the Panther s.

Mayor Juhn Musser said Monday that the national rating service which establishes building classifications has reduced Pomeroy's rate from a 5 to a 4.
