What is surprising is this: Maddox might become the No. 2 quarterback behind starter Kordell Stewart. Maddox's six-year odyssey to get back to the National Football League ended yesterday when he received word he had made the Steelers' final roster. The team will try to trade Graham, who opened last season as their starter, but if it cannot, it will release him by the 4 p.m. deadline tomorrow. "Two years back, when I decided to play in the Arena League, I really didn't know where it would lead," Maddox said yesterday. "I just knew I wanted to be part of the game."

That is like asking a question like why the wind blows. Birth records in Dudleyville (where all Dudley's must be born to be considered real Dudley's) are worst than those kept in the Dominican Republic. What I can do is tell you the Dudley's that have left Dudleyville to seek their fortune. We all know of Bubba Ray and D-Von (sometimes spelled DeVon - both are considered correct by Dudleyville University's distinguished Linguistics Department), who are brothers. Some of you may not have noticed that there is not much of a family resemblance between them. The reason for that is why D- Von is called "The Brother From Another Mother." Big Daddy Dudley got around a little, and was married to D-Von mother for one night - the night he met her. D-Von's mama's name is Delafina Duprois-Dudley, but friends call her Hot Mama. She lives in Beautiful Uptown Dudleyville. Some might call this a one night stand, but Big Daddy assures me he loved every woman he ever spent one night with. Big Mama Dudley is Bubba Ray's mama. She also assured me that she loved every man she ever spent a single night with, and she has been in love many times. She lives in Beautiful Downtown Dudleyville, in upscale Dudleyville Downs, overlooking Dudleyville Bay. Next comes Little Spike Dudley (LSD), known affectionately as "The Runt Of the Litter." He has always been the White Sheep of the family, and hence sort of an outsider. He was also sired by Big Daddy Dudley, out of Dolly Dooley-Dudley, another of Big Daddy's short time marriages. After Dolly became with child, she moved into Big Daddy's house and Big Mama treated her like a daughter, and help her raise LSD. She still lives with them. When Bubba Ray, D-Von and LSD were in ECW, two other Dudley's were there with them. They were Big Dick Dudley and Sign Guy Dudley. Both are Bubba Ray's full brothers. Big Dick is the oldest of Big Daddy's boyz, and the nastiest. He didn't wrestle much because of his tendency to do vast bodily damage to his opponents. It is said he is so mean that he once beat a man half to death just for keeping him awake on a long train ride with his snoring. No man was ever more appropriately named. Sign Guy Dudley was Big Daddy's second born, and is the brain of the family, going all the way to 7th grade in school. He spent very little time in the ring. He used his superior intellect in a creative way by making signs and banners that he brought to the ring during Bubba Ray and D-Von's matches. Then there are Snot Dudley and Snerd Dudley, who also consider themselves The Dudley Boyz. Last I heard of them, they were wrestling in the boonies of Florida. Snot and Snerd are the sons of Big Daddy Dudley's younger brother Diamond Dallas Dudley (DDD) (before you ask, no there is absolutely no relationship and DDD gets very pissed when asked), and Mama Mae Dudley, a former Miss Dudleyville. DDD and Mae also live in Beautiful Downtown Dudleyville, but in a must more modest area. Although it is rumored that there are other Dudley's wrestling, that concludes today's lesson. Should you attend a Indy House Show anywhere in the world and a Dudley be on the card, let me know and I'll keep the world apprised. That concludes today's lesson. Next time I may discuss the founding of The Acme Corporation, whose World Headquarters is in Beautiful Downtown Dudleyville. Since this is reputed to be a wrestling column, I thought I might comment on a small piece of news that came out earlier in the week. Chuck Palumbo, who was WCW Tag Team Champion at the time of The Demise and The Rebirth, is receiving high marks from the powers in The WWF. Unfortunately his partner Sean O'Haire has not scored real well and looks to be ticketed to the minors for a bit of training. It seems that when Palumbo first came over he didn't speak to anyone in The WWF, especially some of the bigger names, and had begun to get bad reputation over it. It was being said that he didn't look like a team player. This past week it was revealed that he didn't approach or speak to people like Stone Cold Steve Austin (SCSA), HHH, The Rock, etc., because it was verboten to do so with people like Nash, Hall, etc., in "Old" WCW. I mention this because it shows yet another reason why WCW ended up in the junk yard of history. How the hell do you run an operation like a wresting federation when the young, up-and-coming talent can't talk to the veterans. It is how they learn. When there are people more interested in protecting their turf than they are in the success of the company, it is a recipe for disaster. It is yet another reason why Emperor McMahon should avoid signing Nash when he becomes available. While popular with the fans, he can be destructive to the overall health of the company. Nash will never impress anyone with his work habits or ring ability, so IMHO the benefits of signing him are far outweighed by the negatives be brings to the table. I have always found Nash to be entertaining with his easy going style cutting promos, but think his presence could be a cancer in the locker room. No matter what anyone thinks; Nash and The Emperor are a*shole buddies. Although working his a*s off in WCW (Choke), he knew where his future paychecks were and stayed close to the man. ====================================================================== Remember...=========================================================== -Remember that if you've missed any TV Shows, PPV's or more?
