Jackson
Continued from Page 7
January 1989, he arrived in the middle
of the season and didn’t get a full
season of training.
In the following two seasons, his
training was interrupted by illness
and a pulled muscle. It wasn’t until
the 1990-91 season that he had an
entire fall of practice.
His recovery allowed him to fi
nally run at full speed, and he showed
that speed when he won the 400
meter intermediate hurdles in the Big
Eight championships.
“I knew I had a certain strength in
me, but it’s a new experience to actu
ally be able to go into a season after a
full preseason of training,” Jackson
said.
Jackson said he planned to run
well indoors in the 400 this season
and then go back to the hurdles during
the outdoor season to defend his Big
Eight title. He also hopes to place
high in both the NCAA champion
ships and the Olympics.
Last August Jackson was in Tokyo
for the World Championships and ran
his personal second-best time in the
hurdles to gain pre-selection for the
Canadian Olympic track team. His
personal best is 49.99 seconds— 1 to
1.5 seconds away from what would
qualify him for the finals in the Olym
Pic§. .
“I spent all this time trying to
reach that level,” Jackson said. “But
it always seems as if there is no way I
could ever be at that level — like
national champions.
“My God, I could never be as good
as (someone of Olympic caliber) is,
but here it is now. I’m as good as the
people who were there before I was
and, pretty soon, hopefully, I will be
even better than they are.”
Madden

team as well as some of the comments
Madden made about them:
John Elway, quarterback for the
Denver Broncos.
“Elway has no place in the NFL,”
Madden said. “The guy can’t take a
hit. He scrambles around to avoid the
rush instead of standing in the pocket
and having some 300-pound defen
sive tackle blindside him. If he was a
real man, he’d stand in and take the
punishment.”
On the screen is footage of Elway
scrambling around lor wnai seems
like an eternity before a receiver breaks
open and Elway hits him for a touch
down. While the footage rolls, Mad
den is livid.
“This just disgusts me. He gets the
snap and SCREECH! BOOM! WHAP!
He makes defensive linemen slip and
fall. This isn’t football, it’s dance
class. Get Elway the pair of ballet
slippers he deserves.”
Mike Croel, linebacker for the
Denver Broncos.
“I was impressed with Croel early
in the season,” Madden said. “But
then he had to miss some games be
cause of a case of the chicken pox.
Chicken pox? Come on, give me a
break. I know guys who have played
games with broken bones, and he’s
sidelined with a kids’ disease.
“Come on, Mike, if you’re going
to miss games, it should be to the
DRIP! DRIP! DRIP! of blood from
your body or the BLIP! BLIP! BLIP!
of a heart monitor in the intensive
care unit, not the OOHHH! and
BLETCH! of chicken pox.”
Rich Karlis, former kicker for the
Denver Broncos.
“Maybe he doesn’t play anymore,
but I can never forget one incident in
his career that will keep him on the .
Un-Madden Team forever,” Madden
said.
Karlis was known lor not only
being a good kicker, but for choosing
to do it barefooted.
“Look at this,” Madden ranted as
footage ran of Karlis lining up to kick
a field goal in snow y weather. “He’s
got a sock on his kicking foot. Now, if
he’s going to be a barefooted kicker,
he can't go slipping on a sock. I don’t
care if it was snow ing and the tem
perature was 20 below . Instead of
hearing his bare foot hitting the ball,
SPLAT! all you hear is his foot slip
ping into a sock. SWISH! I hope
Karlis and Elway go to the same bal
let school.’’-*
Napolcan McCallum, running back
for the Los Angeles Raiders.
“I used to think McCallum had
what it lakes to make the All-Madden
team,” Madden said. “But he’s only
good enough for the Un-Madden team
now.
“I mean, he used to play college
ball for Navy. Heck, he should be
able to kill defenders seven different
ways with the training he had. And
his name: Napolcan. Now that’s a
football name. It just screams out
bloodshed. But now look at him. He’s
just a bench-warmer.”
On the television screen appears a
shot of McCallum standing on the
sidelines.
Look at him, Madden spouts.
“His pants aren’t even dirty. What
kind of a football player doesn’t even
get grass stains on his pants. Roll
around on the sidelines. GRUNT!
OOOOF!”
Finally, Madden named the last
spot on the Un-Madden Team. The
final spot went to the Tampa Bay
Buccaneer fans.
“These have got to be the worst
fans in the league,” Madden said.
“They don’t throw anything at oppos
ing players, not even snowballs, that’s
what football is all about: players
battling the weather as fans throw
snowballs at them.
“Just because Tampa is in Florida
isn’t an excuse. Make snowballs out
of ice cubes. Or, better yet, just throw
ice cubes. They’re much harder and
think of the welts they could make on
a player’s arms. PING! DOINK!”
After the excitement of silting
through Madden’s tirade and hot air,_9
I decided it would be too much to sit
through the All-Madden show.
I’d had more than enough of
Madden and turned off the television.
