RAVENSWOOD, CHICAGO (AP): After a lunch of Connie's Pizza and Coca-Cola, Hudson Valley Undead GM Jeremy Morse returned to his office and made a fateful phone call.

Somewhere in America, a phone rang. A trembling hand hesitated, then lifted the receiver. "Hello?" a voice quivered.

Mr. Morse, on the other end, allowed a pregnant pause. "What do you get when you cross a duck and a lion?" he asked.

The trembling voice was nonplussed. "Um, I think maybe you have the wrong number?"

"QB Joey Harrington, of the Detroit Lions, with that response you have just made yourself pick number 1.02 in the Feeding Frenzy 2002 Draft!"

"I can't believe it!" Harrington exclaimed, unconsciously wrapping the phone cord around his fist in his excitement. "I've never won anything before in my life!"

"Don't worry, that will change probably by next year."

Harrington's elation was quickly tempered by doubt. "But my center exchange," he whimpered. "Didn't you hear about my problem the other day?"

"Son," Mr. Morse soothed avuncularly, "That's the stuff of legend. That's all they'll be able to talk about when they're inducting you into Canton."

"Gee thanks, Mr... say, who am I talking to anyway? Did the Predators trade up for me after all?"

"No, nobody wanted to trade up. This is Mr. Morse from the Undead."

"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

Mr. Harrington was heard to whimper softly into the phone for several minutes.

Jeremy Shockey was seen celebrating with family and friends at the Rainbow Room upon receiving the news.
