Fox goes to Green Bay
Look for PFL champion Kevin Fox to go with the Green Bay
Packers for the 98 season. Fox made the season after the 97
season exercising his right as stated in the By-Laws as
champion to choose any franchise that is not currently
owned. Early in the season the Packers were being reserved
for Doug Farrar who opted not join just prior to the start
of the regular season. Green Bay will be hard to beat this
year with Favre and Levens and Freeman as potent offensive
weapons. The Pack also have a stingy defense as well. Look
for Fox to be as competitive as he was last year.
Allen, Womack, Hilton Remain -
Gresham, Barrow Questionable
A horrific season in Oakland has Alvin Barrow
contemplating whether or not he will return to the PFL to
coach the Oakland Raiders. Barrow after being asked his PFL
plans for 98 stated he had not decided whether or not he
plans to continue. Though he has been playing some
exhibition games with Hilton and Charles and Brown, he has
not yet purchased the 98 version on the game. If Barrow did
not return it would be a huge disappointment to the league
as he is one of the class gentlemen of the PFL.
In other AFC news, Allen, Womack and Hilton are expected
to remain with their respective teams and return for another
exiting season of 98. Meanwhile, there has been no word on
the intentions of Wayman Gresham and whether or not he will
return to St. Louis next year.
Drake May Sit Out
After a successful year at Carolina, Kwon Drake may sit
out a year of PFL action to pursue attaining a high degree
in Education. Drake is currently in school pursing his
Master's degree and contemplating not participating this
season because of the time commitment. Drake is another
class act the PFL would hate to lose. However, he did state
he will be reserving the right to the Denver Broncos until
the league gives him a deadline in which he has to make a
final decision.
Charles, Smolka, Rubio Back for
98
Brown Questionable
Teddy Brown, scheduled to be married in September, has
also contemplated not returning to the PFL. If the league
doesn't complete play before the end of June, it may be
impossible for Brown to participate. The executive Council
is currently discussing starting the season as early as
March or April to compensate for Brown This should not be a
major issue as many teams have expressed interest in getting
it on before June as voted on by the league in early fall.
