DECADES ago, the sportswriter Grantland Rice declared that it was is not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. Today, it seems, it is not whether you play the game, but whether you sponsor one. Eight executives from consumer-marketing giants and advertising agencies have been named to the annual list of the 100 most powerful people in sports, as compiled by The Sporting News, the weekly newspaper. They outnumbered the players by 4 to 1; the two active athletes on the list -- both, by no coincidence, busy product endorsers -- were the basketball superstar Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls and the golfer Jack Nicklaus.

Once Again, Bad News Nets

Date: 06 January 1992

By Harvey Araton

Harvey Araton

Just as the Nets began to generate some momentum, they stumbled at home Friday night against the Washington Bullets and collapsed on the road Saturday night in Chicago against the Bulls. A winning streak of four games suddenly seemed like ancient history and the coming week, because of one misstep by Derrick Coleman, became more of a daunting future. Coleman turned his troublesome left ankle late in the first quarter of a 140-96 pounding by the Bulls at Chicago Stadium. After taking a shot, he landed on Stacey King's foot and hobbled off to the locker room to have the ankle iced. Results of X-rays taken late yesterday afternoon upon Coleman's return to New Jersey were pending, but Coleman's status for tonight's game against the Los Angeles Clippers at Byrne Meadowlands Arena is at best questionable.

Denver Broncos Coach Dan Reeves spent most of the day observing game film and listening to the radio, his eyes dissecting videotape and his ears catching the roar from Buffalo. Fans were still gleefully replaying Elway's closing drive that shook the Houston Oilers, 26-24, but Reeves had already begun to ponder the Buffalo Bills and the American Football Conference championship game on Sunday.
