January 7, 2004

The Arizona Cardinals announced today that they have signed former Viking
coach Dennis Green to a five year deal, and have included former Different
Strokes child-star Gary Coleman in the package. Green has been working in
tandem with the diminutive Coleman, where Green watches the action on the
field while Coleman tracks the bench personnel from a kaboose on Green's
back.

This real-life "Mini-Me" has been a very successful arrangement for Green
and Coleman. Says the long-time NFL coach, "It's another pair of eyes for
me. And as a head coach you need as much help as you can get. I've also
lost 12 pounds since I started carrying him around, so it's a win- win
situation for me - and Gary needed the work"

Said Coleman to his portly partner............."What you talkin 'bout,
Dennis?"
