Engineer, that might get the Anti-Trust people all hot and bothered. Also, there is the matter of a bit of debt to be paid [it might not be too bright to take on debts with hagfish liabilities hidden in the slime]. I think it's better to just let Ericsson slowly sink and die. Motorola too. I don't want to own obsolete GSM patents. Mqurice

Andy Rooney / women as NFL sideline reporters - business (for those who were unaware). The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: 10/11/02 Rooney blasts women as NFL sideline reporters Knight Ridder News Service San Jose -- While appearing on Boomer Esiason's syndicated TV show over the weekend, "60 Minutes" commentator Andy Rooney caused a fuss when he offered this tidbit after it was mentioned that Esiason had been fired from "Monday Night Football" two years ago: "The only thing that really bugs me about television's coverage is those damn women they have down on the sidelines who don't know what the hell they're talking about," Rooney said. "I mean, I'm not a sexist person, but a woman has no business being down there trying to make some comment about a football game." If Rooney, 83, was specifically pointing to "MNF" sideline reporter Melissa Stark -- and it sure sounds as if he was -- he's being even loopier than usual. Sure, there have been, and are, terrible female sideline reporters, just as there have been, and are, plenty of male sideline fops -- ABC's Jack Arute and former "MNF" mumbler Eric Dickerson, to name two. But, combining her work ethic and camera presence, Stark never brings a telecast to a halt. "What I've always said about Al Michaels is that he's the consummate pro....I'll say the same thing about Melissa," MNF's John Madden said Thursday when asked about Rooney's comments. "Melissa is the consummate pro. She puts in a heckuva amount of time at practice; we'll be watching the Seahawks practice on Saturday, and Melissa will be right there, talking to coaches, players and watching film. "She does her homework....There are times in the booth you can't see things and can't know things, especially on injuries. A guy isn't there, leaves the field, where did he go? Did he go to the hospital? She's very good at those kinds of things." © 2002 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
