The Chicago Bears' search for a general manager is down to three names. The three finalists are Tampa Bay vice president of player personnel Jerry Angelo, Baltimore Ravens pro personnel director James Harris, and Denver Broncos collegiate scouting director Ted Sundquist. Bears president Ted Phillips plans to interview the three again this week and hopes to make a decision by June 13.
Tom Modrak, former Philadelphia Eagles director of football operations, was thought to be the frontrunner for the job. But on Monday Modrak told Phillips he didn't think he was the right fit for the job.
Every day will be take your child to work day this summer for Green Bay Packers general manager and head coach Mike Sherman. The Packers hired his eldest daughter, Sarah, 18, for a 12-week internship in the team's public relations department.
She will scour newspapers each day, clipping Packers- and NFL-related articles before starting as a journalism major at Marquette University in the fall.
Sherman said having his daughter nearby will be more than just training.
'Very seldom do you have a chance to be with your son or daughter in a situation like this,' he said. 'She's going off to college, and I'm going to miss her because she was always there for me when I came home late at night and would be waiting up for me.'
The assistant of indicted sports agent Tank Black was sentenced Monday to six months' house arrest for helping pay former University of Florida football players while they were still students and defraud NFL players of millions of dollars. U.S. District Judge Stephan Mickle also sentenced former sports recruiter Alfred 'Tweet' Twitty, 31, to five years' probation and fined him $5,000. Twitty's six months' home confinement was to include electronic monitoring, the judge ordered.
Denver waived veteran defensive lineman Lester Archambeau, who spent one year with the Broncos after seven seasons at Atlanta and three with Green Bay.
Washington Redskins coach Marty Schottenheimer indicated he is inclined to wait until the eve of training camp to decide what to do about Deion Sanders and the cornerback's huge contract. Sanders is currently playing baseball for the Cincinnati Reds.
