Vermeil
retires
Rams head coach Dick Vermeil
with new coach Mike Martz, center, and Vermeil's
wife, Carol. (Karen
Elshout/P-D) | It's official: Dick Vermeil ended two weeks of
speculation and announced he's retiring as head coach of
the Rams.
"I don't want to be the head coach in the next season
and say I should have retired when I was on top,"
Vermeil said at a 5 p.m. news conference at Rams Park.
"The time is right. Very few in this profession get this
opportunity."
Just 48 hours earlier, Vermeil, 63, led his team into
its first Super Bowl and brought it out a winner. It was
the second time in 19 years that he'd coached a Super
Bowl contender. He led the Philadelphia Eagles to the
Super Bowl in 1981, and that 27-10 loss fueled his
return to the profession in 1997. >>

Romance of the
road You've all felt it: the breeze in your hair, the buzz
of the car engine, the sheltering glow of the Vacancy sign in
front of the motel or RV park. What monks on Himalayan
mountaintops achieve by meditation, Americans achieve by
hitting the road. The Web is full of places for road
romantics and many of them are right here in our
network:
Gateway
Avanti Owners: The first
requirement is a car, preferably one with the top down,
a radio that tunes right into the music of your
imagination, and chrome for the sun to shimmer on. Why
not a classic? |
Apache
Village RV & Camping Club: Then there's a place to stay. Why not bring your
own? Like the dinosaur of old, the recreational vehicle
is the lumbering king of roadside America. You can go
away for a weekend, or be Lewis and Clark for a week -
with hookups! Check out the
Heartland Jays as
well. |
Pallottine
Renewal Center: But the ultimate
aim isn't physical distance but spiritual: renewal,
cleansing, coming back to life refreshed, and there are
places where you can have that only a short drive away.
You can find more by picking through the Recreation
& Travel area of our
network. |
