Lambright dismisses
post-dismissal suit
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — Jim Lambright,
fired in December as head football
coach at the University of Wash
ington, said Monday he will not
sue the school over his dismissal.
Lambright said at a news con
ference his problem was with one
individual, not the school. He did
not name the individual.
In February, Lambright said he
was unhappy about the severance
package offered him and might
bring a lawsuit over it. He said
that after 30 years of service, he
felt he deserved better than to be
shown the door and handed a
$276,000 severance deal.
“This is my school,” he told
The Seattle Times then. “I don’t
want to be made out a bad guy at a
school I lived and died for, but af
ter six weeks it appears my only
recourse is going to court.”
Lambright was fired in Decem
ber after six years as head coach
— a period in which the Huskies
won 60 percent of their games. He
was replaced two weeks later by
Rick Neuheisel, who is being paid
$7 million over seven years.
In all, Lambright spent 35 years
with the Huskies as a player, as
sistant coach and head coach. His
severance package was, by con
tract, one year of $176,000 in base
salary plus a $100,000 retirement
annuity.
Lambright had refused to cash
any of the checks he received,
saying that would indicate he had
accepted the terms.
UW Athletic Director Barbara
Hedges, who made the decision
to fire Lambright, said her hands
were tied on the matter of sever
ance.
“Certainly, I understand where
Jim is coming from,” she told The
Times. “The reality is we have a
commitment both parties worked
on for a long time. The contract is
clear. The university won’t allow
me to do any more because it is
outside the contract.
“We addressed 90 percent of
Jim’s needs in the last negotia
tions and the termination clause
was never even discussed.”
At his news conference Mon
day, Lambright said he is taking a
position as head of a charitable
group called “A Better World,” a
non-profit arm of the Seattle
based Pacific Institute, which spe
cializes in motivational speakers.
Lambright was sued last week
by former Washington quarter
back Shane Fortney over Lam
bright’s handling of Fortney’s
1996 knee injury.
That lawsuit, filed Thursday in
Snohomish County Superior
Court in Everett, about 30 miles
north, seeks unspecified dam
ages. It contends Fortney’s pro
football prospects were hurt by
Lambright’s “reckless, malicious
and unreasonable treatment” over
the injury.
Lambright, commenting on the
lawsuit Monday, said whether a
player plays is up to the medical
staff, not the coach.
Sammy not so super in
early-season struggles
By Rick Gano
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Back home at
Wrigley Field where his every
move, gesture and smile is greeted
with cheers and chants of his
name, Sammy Sosa wanted des
perately to please, to give every
one who came what they wanted
to see.
Instead, his struggles at the plate
continued. Not only didn’t he
homer, he managed just one hit—
a measly dribbler in the infield —
as the Chicago Cubs lost their
home opener to the Cincinnati
Reds 7-2.
The Reds had no power prob
lems. Mike Cameron, who never
fulfilled his potential on the other
side of Chicago with the White
Sox, hit two of Cincinnati’s four
homers as the Reds gave the Cubs
a fourth straight loss.
“I wish I could have a hit or
homer every time,” said Sosa, who
went l-for-4, dropping him to 3
for-25 for the season with one
homer.
“Now the pitchers don’t want to
give me anything to hit. I got to be
patient and relaxed, keep rolling.
We’re struggling, but it’s still early.
A lot of people cheered me, and
they know I’m in a slump and that
we can play better. ”
Sosa came to bat with two on
and no outs in the eighth against
reliever Scott Sullivan with the
Cubs trailing 5-2. He flied out to
shallow right, ending his frustrat
ing day before a spirited crowd of
30,092.
“I’m not swinging the way I’m
supposed to be. I’ve been chasing
bad pitches,” Sosa said. “I’ve got
to to come and find out what’s the
matter.”
Steve Avery (1-1) got his first NL
victory since 1996, and Barry
Larkin and Eddie Taubensee also
homered for the Reds.
“I had a tough time here in
Chicago last year. I put entirely too
much pressure on myself,” said
Cameron, who was traded away in
the off-season by the White Sox. “I
had to believe in myself before
anybody else could. This was one
of the best feelings I’ve ever had. ”
The Cubs’ depleted pitching staff
got another scare when Kevin
Tapani (1-1), a 19-game winner last
season, had to leave after three in- »
nings with tightness in his right
shoulder. He didn’t know after the
game if he would miss his next start.
The Cubs already are without
NL rookie of the Year Kerry Wood,
who will miss the season follow
ing elbow surgery, and reliever
Terry Adams is also on the DL
with an elbow sprain.
Tapani initially hurt the shoul
der while batting last week in
Houston and didn’t want to take a
chance this early in the season.
He’ll rest a couple days, do some
exercises and taike medication.
“It just grabbed on me,” Tapani
said. “It’s a little sore. It’s muscle
type stuff and I need to build up
my strength. I’m not looking at it
as a major thing. I just can’t let it
alter the way I throw.”
Avery, who took a no-hitter into
the seventh inning of his first start
against the Giants before losing, al
lowed three hits in seven innings
with five walks and five strikeouts.
“I took a little while to get going
with the cold,” Avery said of the
sunny 49-degree day.
“I know how to change speeds
now, and eventually with my fast
ball coming around, I will get
more strikeouts. Once I get rid of
the little blips like walks, things
will be where I want. ”
Larkin hit a two-run homer in
the third — his third of the year—
offTapani.
