ASHBURN, Va. -- They came at different times, for different reasons, and with different perspectives. When Brandon Lloyd arrived at Redskins Park last spring after spending his first three seasons in the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers, he looked at the trade as a chance to play with a winning team and a veteran quarterback, and in the new high-powered offense Al Saunders had just brought from Kansas City.

MIAMI -- San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deion Sanders is lobbying for a chance to play more than defense in the Super Bowl.Sanders put his arm around coach George Seifert at one point during San Francisco's practice yesterday and the two talked for a few minutes. It ended with Seifert laughing."If he puts his arm around me, you know exactly what he's asking for -- offensive playing time," Seifert said. "Hopefully, we'll be in a position [Sunday] to do it."That's an indication that Seifert may not want to risk Sanders as a kick returner unless the 49ers have the game in hand.

EMMITSBURG -- As a sophomore at Mount St. Mary's, the challenge for Kevin Booth was delivering points as a reserve, not a starter. He did just fine, averaging a team-high 18.5 points, most from long range, and earned second-team All-Northeast Conference honors.This year, coach Jim Phelan wants Booth, a 6-foot junior, to play the point. He has been a shooting guard since his days at Salesianum High in Wilmington, Del., but Booth knows he might have to sacrifice his scoring average if the Mount is going to continue to improve in Division I."

Normally, when children find out they are going to Disney World, all they can think about is riding roller coasters and meeting Mickey Mouse. But 13-year-old Brandon Oliver has more important business on his mind: winning the Super Bowl. Oliver and his Charm City Buccaneers teammates are heading to Orlando, Fla., to compete in the Pop Warner Football National Championships, which begin today at Disney's Wide World of Sports complex. Their first game is Tuesday against the Tri-Town Raiders of Indiana.
