HERE WE GO AGAIN? CLOCK TICKING ON NJSEA/DEVILS PACT

     The Devils and NJSEA have a court-mandated September 15
deadline to solidify a tentative agreement reached on July 13
that would keep the team in NJ until 2007.  If the deadline
passes, either the deal will fall apart, or the two sides can ask
Superior Court Judge Peter Ciolino for an extension when they go
before him next week.  The Devils didn't submit their proposal to
NJSEA until last Friday and NJSEA didn't start reviewing it until
Tuesday.  Michael Rowe, the exec in charge of Byrne Arena and
Giants Stadium, said NJSEA attorneys have looked at the proposal,
but declined to say if there are problems (AP/ESPNET, 9/8).
