ATTICS OF MY LIFE: NFL FILMS WORKING TO PUT FOOTAGE ONLINE

          NFL Films President Steve Sabol said that he is working
     on plans to put the company's entire film archive on the
     Web, according to Brendan Schurr of the AP.  NFL Senior
     VP/New Media Chris Russo said the plan is to offer the
     league's archives for free.  Russo: "Perhaps down the line
     there may be some limited content that would involve
     subscription fees, but for the near term we're talking about
     free content for fans" (AP/HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 10/15)....NFL
     Films Senior Producer Louis Schmidt is finishing a
     documentary on "The NFL Today," CBS' pre-game show in the
     '70s.  He has interviewed "all but one of the surviving"
     members, as Brent Musburger is "still bitter over his
     firing."  The one-hour documentary will air in December on
     ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN Classic (Clev. PLAIN DEALER, 10/15).
          RIGHT WING FORMATION: Rush Limbaugh discussed the
     controversy around him possibly joining ABC's "MNF" booth:
     "There's no evidence that I have problems with people of
     color.  I don't have trouble with people of color.  There
     were people saying black players will refuse to play if
     Limbaugh is in the booth.  It's total ca-ca.  I know a lot
     of black players in the NFL.  I know a lot of black
     athletes" ("The News With Brian Williams," MSNBC, 10/13).
