THEY'RE GOING TO GRACELAND: OILERS SAY GOODBYE TO HOUSTON

          NFL Oilers Owner Bud Adams announced that the team and     the Astrodome "had signed off on the club escaping its     lease, freeing him to move the franchise to Tennessee,"     according to Oscar Dixon in USA TODAY.  The Oilers, now     known as the Tennessee Oilers, unveiled a new logo     yesterday.  A patch with the logo will be worn on the left     shoulder and on the helmet of the old powder blue unis. The     logo features "the traditional blue oil derrick on a     background of a slanted, red Tennessee flag with the words     'Tennessee Oilers' along the bottom and the number '97'     beside the derrick.  At the top edge is a blue circle with     three white stars from the state flag" (USA TODAY, 6/13).
