(AP) - Dennis Miller changed his
game plan.
Through three preseason "Monday
Night Football" broadcasts, the irrev-
erent comedian-turned-commentator
seemed to be saying each and every
thing that popped into, his rapid-fire
mind.
When the game counted for the
first time, though, he appeared to
have hit upon a new and winning for-
mula: moderation.
During the Super Bowl-champion
St. Louis Rams' 41-36 victory over
the Denver Broncos in the regular-
season opener for both the teams and
ABC's program, Miller refrained
Despite slow start,
U.S. crushes Spain
SAITAMA, Japan (AP) - Maybe
it was the jet lag, maybe it was the
food. Whatever the case, it took the
U.S. Olympic team longer than they
would have liked to shake off the
blahs and knock off Spain.
After staying even for 10 minutes
and leading by just I I at halftime,
the Americans opened the second
half with an 18-0 run that included
another highlight-reel dunk by Vince
Carter to defeat the Spanish Olympic
team 95-66 Tuesday night at the
Super Dream Games 2000.
Taking the court just a little more
than 24 hours after arriving in Asia
and bunking down at a five-star
hotel, the U.S. team looked lethargic
and out of sync for the first 20 min-
utes.
It was a different story in the sec-
ond half, though, as the Americans
trampled a team that is expected to
contend for a medal in Sydney. -
Carter, Ray Allen, Gary Payton
and Allan Houston led the U.S. team
with 10 points apiece.
from too much over-the-top esoteri-
ca, picking his spots to go for laughs.
The network could not have asked
for a better contest and the ratings
brought good news for ABC, consid-
ering the game was played on Labor
Day (the NFL has said it will start its,
season after the holiday in the
future).
The overnight Nielsen rating forO
the broadcast was a 15.9 with a 26
share, down just slightly from last
year's 16.1/27 for the opener. More
impressively, Monday's preliminary
rating was 9 percent higher than the
last time the NFL opened on Labor
Day weekend, in 1998.
Cyclist Armstrong
injured in accident
(AP) - Two-time Tour de France
champion Lance Armstrong brokera.
vertebrae in his neck when he collided
with a car last month biut still plans to
race at the Sydney Olympics.
The injury, which caused Armstrong
to drop out of two races in Europe next
weekend, was detected Monday after
he had an MRI at a clinic in Monaco.
Armstrong, of Austin, Texas, had
complained of pain around his neck,
prompting the additional tests. He said
he can train "on a limited basis but that
is very painful."
Armstrong, 28, is scheduled to com-.
pete in the Olympic road race on Sept.
27, and the individual time trial, where
he is among the favorites, three days
later.
He will miss Saturday's Paris-Brus-
sels race and Sunday's Grand PrixO
Fourmies, but plans to compete in the
GP des Nations, a time trial event, on-
Sept. 16.
After that, Armstrong will make a
final decision on whether to ride in
Sydney.
