Gooden calling Mets even for mild cold in future

NEW YORK (AP) - Dwight Gooden, who posted a 24-4 record in 1985, is fine in the opinion of the New York Mets team physician, who examined the injured ankle that jolted club officials when they found out about it through the news media. Dr. James Parties called the injury “an uncomplicated mild sprain of the left ankle” and said the National League Cy Young Award winner would be “100 percent by the beginning of spring training,” Mets publicity director Jay Horowitz, reported Wednesday at a news conference at Shea Stadium. Gooden said he injured the ankle Jan. 5 when he tripped over a drainpipe while shagging fly balls hit by

Gary Sheffield, his 17-year-old nephew in a Tampa, Fla., park Jan. 5. Gooden said he didn’t report the injury to the Mets when it first happened because “I didn’t think it was serious. I thought it was just a sprain.” But Gooden said he went to a hospital for X-rays, which revealed no break. “I was never on crutches,” Gooden said. “At the hospital they gave me Xrays and the phone number of a bone specialist. But I never called him “Everybody’s got their opinion, but I think it was blown out of proportion,” said the right-handed pitching star. “Next time, I will call the Mets. If I get a cold, I’ll call the Mets.”

are similar to 1963 NFL championship team

EDITOR’S NOTE - Joe Mooshil, AP sports writer in Chicago since 1954, covered the Chicago Bears’ last NFL championship game in 1963 against the New York Giants. He’s in New Orleans to cover the Bears in their first Super Bowl and reflects on the comparison between the 1963 and 1985 Bears. By JOE MOOSHIL AP Sports Writer NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The long wait is over for the Chicago Bears. It has been 23 years since they last challenged for the National Football League championship. Little has changed. They won the title in 1963 with a great defensive team and they reached the Super Bowl this season with another team that ranks No. 1 in defense. “You win championships with defense,” said Coach Mike Ditka, who was a tight end on the 1963 team that was coached by the Bears’ late owner, George Halas. “Every team is different every year,” Ditka said. “The 1963 team was a great team. It was a great defensive team and we’re a very great defensive team. “But there are a lot of similarities. In 1963, the offense wasn’t given the credit it deserved. It’s the same with this team. The offense is not given the credit it deserves.” Ditka chuckled in recalling that the 1963 team had its cast of characters. “There are characters on every championship team, whether it’s Pittsburgh, Dallas or Green Bay,” he said. Where the 1963 team had such characters as Doug Atkins, Ed O’Bradovich, Rick Casares and a guy named Ditka, this crew has the likes of Steve McMichael, Jim Me-

Patriots got message

NEW ORLEANS (AP) The players didn’t know what to make of their coach’s bizarre behavior. Raymond Berry gathered them around him at the New England Patriots’ minicamp last May, dropped a football on the ground and flopped his lanky 6-foot-2 frame on top of it. “We were in shock,” wide receiver Cedric Jones said. “We had no idea what he was doing.” The Patriots know now. Berry was demonstrating the importance of recovering fumbles and collecting turnovers. Berry got up off the turf, Jones said, and told his players, “This is your basic fundamental that can separate the good teams from the bad teams.” As the season progressed, the point was proven. New England was third in the NFL with 47 takeaways. In their three playoff games, the Patriots have capitalized on 16 turnovers to score 61 of their 84 points. They have scored three touchdowns in their last five games after recovering sum-

MIKE DITKA '63 Bears' tight end

Mahon and William “The Refrigerator” Perry. There are also similarities in the head coaches. Like Halas, Ditka is intense, colorful and stern. Unlike the 1985 edition which cruised to the divisional title and has not been seriously extended in the playoffs, the 1963 Bears had to go down to the final game of the season to qualify for the right to meet the New York Giants for the title. It was defense that won it in 1963, and if the Bears are to whip the New England Patriots on Sunday the defense will have to do it again. Atkins and O’Bradovich were the key men in the 1963 line. They were backed by

bled kickoff returns. They are hoping for more of the same when they meet the Chicago Bears in Sunday’s Super Bowl. “The first thing we do is get the guy tackled,” special teams standout Mosi Tatupu said. “Then you get your hand on the ball.” The Patriots practice falling on loose balls and picking them up and running. They also learn the proper way to recover fumbles, by sliding into them rather than pouncing and having the ball squirt away. “When we first started this drill, most of the players weren’t crazy about it,” said Greg Hawthorne, who forced a fumble on the second-half kickoff of New England’s AFC championship game victory over Miami on Jan. 12. “Now when we do that, everybody looks forward to it.” The Patriots also practice stripping the ball from opposing players. “The last time many players did all that was in high school,” said linebacker Steve Nelson. “That’s the last time I did it.”

a trio of linebackers as good as any the league had seen up to that time in Bill George, Joe Fortunato and Larry Morris. Behind them were such defensive backs as Richie Petitbon, Bennie McCrae, Roosevelt Taylor and Dave Whitsell. The 1963 Bears, like the 1985 team, lost only one game, 20-14 at San Francisco. It was after the Green Bay triumph that Halas ran up and down the field with a clipboard in his hand crying, “This isn’t a game plan; it’s a war plan.” The day of the championship game was Dec. 29. It was bitterly cold in Chicago. The Giants, led by quarterback Y. A. Tittle, were slight favorites. Before the game was to end, the Bears would intercept five of Tittle’s passes, with two of the interceptions leading to touchdowns and a 14-10 victory. The Giants scored first on a 14-yard pass from Tittle to Frank Gifford for a 7-0 lead. The Bears tied it before the end of the first quarter. Morris intercepted a pass and returned it 61 yards before Bill Wade scored the first of his two touchdowns. Don Chandler’s field goal gave the Giants a 10-7 halftime lead. Another interception, this one by O’Bradovich, led to another quarterback sneak by Wade and a 14-10 lead in the third quarter. That was the final score. Tittle tried valiantly to rally the Giants to victory, but McCrae, Whitsell and Petitbon kept the Giants in check with interceptions. Before leaving the game late in the fourth quarter, a battered Tittle sat at midfield, his helmet torn from his bald head, tears streaking down his cheeks. It became one of the great pictures of the year and the last time the Bears were to win a championship.

McMahon has an altercation NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Jim McMahon, the Chicago Bears’ iconoclastic quarterback, had an almost inevitable altercation with a photographer Monday night at a Bourbon Street restaurant. McMahon, who has been followed around this week by a pack of paparazzi, chased one away from a table where he sat with some friends. “I didn’t want my picture taken,” he said Wednesday. “I was just having a drink with my buddies and I didn’t want to be bothered.” Then, looking out through his dark glasses at a room filled with reporters and photographers, he added: “I don’t like to do this but I have to do it. When I’m on my own time, I don’t want cameras shoved in my face.” NEW ORLEANS (AP) - When 37-year-old Julius Adams of the New England Patriots retires after Sunday’s Super Bowl against the Chicago Bears, the National Football League will be losing a living time machine. Adams, who will be playing his last game Sunday, was asked Wednesday to name some of the quarterbacks he played against when he came into the league in 1971. He listed Johnny Unitas, Earl Morrall, Joe Namath, Bob Griese and Fran Tarkenton. NEW ORLEANS (AP) - New England guard Ron Wooten said the Patriots ceased being awed by Chicago’s reputation when they saw the Bears coming into the Superdome on Tuesday. “We saw them getting off the bus and we thought they’d have an “S” on their chest. They didn’t. They were limping the same way we were.”
