FINANCE NOTES

          ESPN MAGAZINE's Malcolm Fitch looks at the stock market
     as it relates to sports, noting that publicly-traded teams
     and sports-related companies "would be fine if it wasn't for
     one small glitch: Big bucks have been squandered by
     investors who think that sports savvy can translate into
     investing smarts."  Noting the suspension of the NFL bond
     offering, Fitch writes, "Sports fans-turned-investors should
     act with similar humility.  It's one thing to buy a few
     shares of the Nuggets or the Tribe because you want to say
     you own a piece of a pro team.  But it would be a mistake to
     confuse a knack for drafting Rotisserie players with a
     talent for picking stocks" (ESPN MAGAZINE, 11/30 issue)....
     Broadcast.com agreed to acquire San Diego-based Web page
     provider Simple Network Communications for $20.75M in stock
