I went to an auction this weekend. The father of a friend
passed away and they were auctioning off his estate. So, I was looking
in the classifieds and I ran upon some pretty strange listings.
I thought you'd be interested in what I found.
Quarterback - Must be mobile, have a good arm, and posses
good football intelligence. A major college degree or experience
is not necessary (See Culpepper, Duante). If your ready for a challenge
and are willing to re-locate the Pittsburgh metro region please
contact… B. Cowher

Duante). Good team in place missing one ingredient… you! If your
ready for a challenge and are willing to re-locate to Florida please
contact... T. Dungy
Defensive Lineman - My team is ready to take control of the
AFC if YOU can help me put pressure on opposing quarterbacks. If
you posses a bull rush or weigh over 300 pounds and actually have
some muscle we can make sweet music together. Please contact...
J. Gruden
Leathersmith
- to make muzzle to keep boisterous wide receivers' mouth shut.
Wide receiver spouts off without provocation and despite being paid
$55 million for the contract of a lifetime. If manufacture of muzzle
can also throw the deep ball that would be even better. Please contact…
T. Dungy
Hired Assassin - Looking for a professional that could slow
down a quarterback that is on pace to erase my name from record
books. Looking for Nancy Kerrigan type of "accident". If you are
the right man or woman for the job please contact... D. Marino and
coaches of the NFC.
Offense - My
offense has been missing since week 2 of the NFL season. M y high
powered offense has been left to Matt Stovers foot for the last
3 weeks. If you have seen my offense please call immediately! The
kids really miss it! B. Billick
Talent - The coaching change helped us compete defensively
but what we really need is an influx of talent. If you played at
least division 3 college football consider trying out for our high
school/pro football team…you could be a starter! Also seeking a
qualified candidate for the position of General Manager. Current
occupant of the job left all knowledge of football on the field
as a quarterback at Yale. Please contact... The city of Cincinnati.

Make
Chicken
Soak chicken in milk to cover for 20 to 30 minutes.
Spray a baking dish (one that will accommodate all the
chicken pieces comfortably in one layer) with nonstick
vegetable-oil spray. Preheat oven to 400°F. Put the
butter in the baking dish and heat it in the oven until
the butter melts. Mix flour and seasonings together
in paper sack or plastic baggie (1-gallon size). Shake
each piece of chicken in seasoned flour. Place chicken
pieces, skin-side down, in baking dish. Bake for 20
minutes. Turn chicken over and bake an additional 20
minutes or until cooked through and crispy. Remove chicken
and set aside in a warm place.
Make Gravy
Sauté the scallions and mushrooms in the drippings over
medium high heat, until soft. Mix the seasoned flour
with milk first until you see no lumps. Whisk milk mixture
into the sautéing onions and mushrooms. Taste and add
bouillon cube, if desired (You may want to use additional
milk if you do). Boil until thickened to preferred consistency.
Put into a gravy dish and serve alongside the baked
chicken. Serves 4. |
