A young, athletic Miami team just throttled Sacramento at home, without Dwyane Wade, Miami's own prize rookie.

"Daydreaming's over," said the prize rookie who performed so well for the University of Miami that he won the Heisman Trophy last year.

The Jets had a huge scare in practice today when their prize rookie wide receiver, Keyshawn Johnson, bruised and sprained his right knee.

So a new stadium would pay for last season's prize rookie, Eli Manning?

The other day, Coslet anointed his prize rookie, Rob Moore, as a starting wide receiver.

So far, Coach John Muckler is bringing his prize rookie along gradually.

His prize rookie, Kenny Anderson, was deprived of a desperately needed training camp because ownership couldn't bring itself to acknowledge the market price it eventually was forced to meet.

They feel they need an immediate hit and when their prize rookies don't become immediate successes, they ship them elsewhere with the general manager and the coach.

Fitch's prize rookie, Kenny Anderson, played just 13 minutes and afterward appeared ready to make a federal case out of it.

In his third season as the Nets' coach, Bill Fitch will give Kenny Anderson the ball after the front office gives the prize point-guard rookie the millions.
