A 'Win-Win' situation is due to occur for NFL Europe on Saturday as Miami
announce who will be their starting QB for the season opener. QB Damon Huard
(Galaxy 98) or QB Jay Fiedler (Admirals 97) will get the nod from Coach
Wannstedt. Fiedler is recovering from hip surgery and has been unable to
compete with Huard in the pre-season matches this far but is due to start
in the last exhibition match on Friday. Huard's inability to score a TD
in the three previous matches may tell against him if Fiedler has a good
turnout.

Coach Seifert has said that in the Panthers' last pre-season match he will
play Steve Beuerlein for one quarter then split the rest of the game between
Jeff Lewis and Dameyune Craig. He has no plans to bring in a veteran backup
at this point
QB Dameyune Craig (Claymores 99) is feeling the pressure after a number of
poor performances during the pre-season. He has apparently said that he
is losing sleep at night worrying about his lack of form in an offensive
system he feels he knows well. He also feels that due to the number of
injuries the Panthers have had that he is playing with a lot of inexperienced
players and routes are breaking down more often.

In the event that Queens Park fail to accept an offer from their
major creditors and the Scottish office it is believed that Hampden would
have to be sold off and QP would cease to exist. To date it appears that
the QPR board have not accepted the offer given.
It is believed that the offer falls a little short of what QP require and
