Newsome Holden Masters, Philadelphia’s scrambling, five-time All-Pro Quarterback, who has eluded serious injury for all of his eleven seasons in the NFL, was allegedly blindsided on I-95 by a drunk in a 1988 Chevrolet while on his way home from a banquet in his honor two nights ago, this reporter has just learned. Although Masters’s familiar cherry red Ferrari was totaled in the accident, his injuries, says his agent, Sidney Feldon, are minor. University of Pennsylvania doctors agree that Masters did not require hospitalization, but both the extent of his injuries and his whereabouts since being treated in the Emergency Room are already a closely guarded secret, even from the team’s management. With contract negotiations for the eight-million-dollar grid star promised to begin in earnest shortly, and hopes for a return to the Super Bowl running high in the City of Brotherly Love, Feldon assured the media at a hastily gathered predawn press conference that Masters will be one hundred percent for the fall season.
