Unlike Joe DiMaggio, Tom Brady's legacy and his legend will never be enhanced by his inclusion in an Ernest Hemingway novel. Hemingway - who used "The Great DiMaggio" as a symbol of courage, inspiration and resilience for his protagonist fisherman, Santiago, in his battle with a marlin in The Old Man and the Sea - has been dead for 46 years. It's also unlikely, when Brady retires, that Paul Simon will write a song that uses Brady's quiet dignity to lament America's lost sense of innocence.

What the World League of American Football was supposed to do, offer players a chance to further their professional ambitions, has fulfilled its objective. Subject: Kirk Maggio, punter for the Birmingham Fire, who continues to prove himself on the field and in the record book.Maggio can kick the daylights out of a football. At UCLA, in 1989, he was second in the nation, by a mere fraction of a point, and was picked as the punter on The Sporting News All-American team. The Green Bay Packers drafted him on the 12th round, staged an intra-squad game where he averaged 53.5 yards per kick, and, for reasons known only to themselves, dispatched Maggio to the waiver list.

The departure of Howfield awards the kicking job to Donald Igwebuike, attempting a comeback of his own after a four-year exile from pro football.
