I dialed George Michael's "Sports Machine" hotline, but no mention of
this story.

I do recall this happening a few years ago, and I believe it was within
the NFC East, involving the Cardinals under Gene Stallings.  He was
fuming when a defensive back crucial for his special teams was picked
up when trying to clear waivers.  I even think it was the Redskins who
picked up this player, but I do recall the reasons were legit ...

Folks, we are now seeing the results of the restrictive rules with
regards to the Injured Reserve.  The Giants were well within their right
to claim him, albeit the image that it may produce ... the attitude of

	"Well, since we're having a crappy season and aren't going to the
	playoffs, why should we let the Redskins come up here and trash us
	so that they can go?"


Bob - I don't like it either, Jon   :-(
