FRANCHISE NOTES

          NFL: In Oakland, Art Spander called the announced
     attendance of 45,702 for Sunday's Browns-Raiders game at
     Network Associates Coliseum "pitiful."  The crowd was a
     "dropoff of some" 17,000 from the previous week.  Spander,
     on the decline: "A reason to wonder, indeed, when are they
     [Raiders] moving back to L.A.?" (OAKLAND TRIBUNE, 9/25).
     ...In Akron, Terry Pluto: "The Cavs say the [Shawn] Kemp
     trading [to the Trail Blazers] created no backlash in terms
     of ticket sales.  We hear that the Kemp deal of three years
     ago led to a bump in sales, but since then, Kemp really
     hasn't helped sell tickets" (AKRON BEACON JOURNAL, 9/25).
