The article "Roll Call" (July 23) listing the famous people and the high schools in Orange County they had attended was interesting, but I saw no mention of anyone from Magnolia High School or Savanna High School.

Quarterback Steve DeBerg, a Plan B free agent, returned to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday the same way he left four years ago--as Vinny Testaverde's backup. The Buccaneers, who traded DeBerg to the Kansas City Chiefs to allow Testaverde to develop without the pressure of an experienced veteran pressing him, signed the quarterback to a two-year contract. DeBerg, 38, enjoyed the best seasons of his 14-year career in Kansas City, helping the Chiefs to the playoffs the past two seasons.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Steve DeBerg was released from the hospital today, but said he did not know if he could play Sunday. "It's throbbing right now," DeBerg said of the broken finger on his left hand that he suffered Sunday. "Hopefully, the pain will lessen and I'll be able to handle the pain part of it. "I'm not exactly sure I can play this week. I think we're going to be able to put something on it and protect it." Officially, DeBerg was listed as questionable.
