AL DAVIS CONTINUES TO CALL FOR POLICY, BOWLEN EXPULSION

          Raiders Owner Al Davis "wants" Browns President Carmen
     Policy and Broncos Owner Pat Bowlen "expelled from" the NFL
     "for at least a year for alleged violations" of the league's
     salary cap, according to USA TODAY's Gordon Forbes.  Earlier
     reports had both possibly being fined by the league, but
     Davis said, "A fine is not satisfactory.  Both Policy and
     Bowlen should be expelled for a year or two and then you can
     try for reinstatement. You're talking here about the
     credibility of the game on the field.  It's worse than
     gambling."  Davis named Giants co-Owner Wellington Mara,
     Ravens Owner Art Modell, Bills Owner Ralph Wilson and Saints
     Owner Tom Benson as being among those "demanding" that NFL
     Commissioner Paul Tagliabue "bring down the hammer on the
     guilty parties" (USA TODAY, 9/11).  CBS' "The NFL Today"
     reported Sunday that despite Policy's "recent offers to pay
     a fine for salary-cap violations, league officials have told
     the NFL Today that currently they are not optimistic that
     there will be a settlement in the case, and expect to go to
     trial before a league special master" ("NFL Today," 9/10).
