NEWS ABOUT THE NET: 10.23.00 John Manasso - Staff Monday, October 23, 2000 * Need tickets? Won't find them on eBay * Sydney Paralympics arrive live online * Football fans, get your goal posts here! * SAVE TIME ONLINE: All stories and urls in this column are one click away on ajc.com/enews NEW RULE: Ever-evolving Internet commerce added a new wrinkle last week, at least on eBay. Ninety percent of World Series tickets listings have been taken down. Because eBay doesn't know where a seller really is, the Internet auctioner recently created a rule that the seller will be subject to the law in which the event takes place. New York law stipulates that ticket sellers can only make a 10 percent mark-up when selling. Harvey S. Jacobs, managing director for Jacobs & Associates, an Internet law firm, believes eBay might be taking it too far. "It appears as though eBay has made a broad solution to a narrow problem," he said. www.ebay.com PARALYMPICS LIVE: They're here. The Sydney Paralympics, unlike that city's Olympics, can be seen live on the Internet. From last Wednesday's opening ceremony through the Oct. 29 closing ceremony, wemedia.com is showing video of the Paralympics live daily from 6:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. The site has taped highlights the other 12 hours each day. Wemedia.com will have rosters, schedules, biographies, photos and archives. NBC Sports' telecasts of the Sydney Games last month showed action entirely on tape, with the exception of the men's gold medal basketball game. wemedia.com GOAL POSTS FOR SALE: Perhaps its the English equivalent of getting a piece of those goal posts that were torn down at Sanford Stadium a few weeks ago. QXL.com will host an auction of memorabilia from England's Wembley Stadium to be Webcast live on Oct. 30. Memorabilia includes the goal posts from the last football match hosted at the stadium, various traveling rugs used by guests in the Royal Box, and the England shield and crest from the South Dressing Room. Visit the site to register or view the catalog. www.qxl.com FANTASY FOOTBALL LAND Today's checklist: Backup quarterbacks usually aren't the answer if your team is struggling, but other players sometimes step up when they're in the game. Trent Green: The exception to the previously stated rule, he was 15-for-21 for 205 yards and three touchdowns in relief of Rams quarterback Kurt Warner. While Warner is benched with a broken little finger on his right (throwing) hand, Green might be a sound alternative. www.sportingnews.com/nfl/teams/rams Scott Mitchell: Didn't complete any of his five pass attempts after Bengals passer Akili Smith went out with a possible concussion. He didn't need to, though, with Corey Dillon and Peter Warrick carrying the load. www.cincypost.com/bengals Jim Miller: Replaced Bears passer Cade McNown, who separated his throwing shoulder on a 1-yard scramble early in the second quarter, and was 14-for-34 for 128 yards. Nobody else did much, either, for 1-7 Chicago. www.suntimes.com/index/bears.html TUESDAY: What the experts say. SEARCH ENGINE: 10.23.00 SITES Snap to it and visit a special (teams) site Vince Dooley recognized the importance of the long snapper when he was Georgia's football coach, so much so that during a weekly press conference he made special mention of the player performing the duty for Vanderbilt. There are others who appreciate the work of players who are noticed only when they make a mistake --- the folks at Long Snap, for instance, who have elevated hiking a football to an art form. The site seeks to become the source for long snapping information, with tips from top NFL snappers and news about snappers in college and the pros. www.longsnap.com EVENTS PRO FOOTBALL: It's the age-old rivalry, at least of the post-Baby Boom Age: the Miami Dolphins at the New York Jets. Bill Parcells and Jimmy Johnson may not be there anymore, but it's for supremacy in the AFC East. Live audio is available at a variety of sites. www.nfl.com www.miamidolphins.com www.newyorkjets.com TOP CHATS: Broadcaster Mike Tirico noon at www.espn.go.com Baseball writer Stephen Cannella noon at cnnsi.com Football analyst Tom Jackson 3 p.m. at espn.go.com CBS Sports reporter Lesley Visser 7:30 p.m. at sportsline.com > ON ACCESS ATLANTA: Get NFL news, scores, statistics and injury
