First, the bad news: the lawsuit against the school is back on in the case of the bonfire collapse. The thing that gets me about this case is this: what would the kids who were killed want to have happen? I doubt seriously if they would see the years of legal wrangling as the right…

A National Championship for a Real College – Hoorah!
It’s nice to see a real academy of education win an NCAA (baseball) championship for a change. Congrats to the Rice Owls! I’d love to see something like that happen in basketball. When pigs fly…
No Reason for Washington Coach to be Canned
Coach Rick Neuheisel was fired for betting on the NCCA basketball tournament. The thing is, for those who may not know or care, he’s a FOOTBALL coach. So where’s the crime? The U. of Washington seems to have fallen in with the mob of schools firing their coaches over non-athletic “moral violations”. But this is…
Hang in there, Mr. Singh
Apparently Vijay Singh isn’t going to hear the last of Annika Sorenstam for some time. Certainly not if John Lopez has anything to say about it. Let me say it again: Vijay Singh would be an American hero, if only he were American. But I don’t hold that against him, not if he’s going to…
Men’s Golf is for Men
Vijay Singh says Annika Sorenstam doesn’t belong in a men’s PGA Tour event and he’s absolutely right. If Tiger Woods wants to play from the ladies tees, NOW would burst a collective blood vessel. Unfortunately, Vijay seems to have caught some flack and has backed off of his stance, somewhat. But he’s right on the…
Baseball Player Beats Wife Before Game

True Grit
A Colorado climber amputated his own arm to stay alive. Now that takes some sort of will to survive, friends. Amazing!
Stay in School, Fool
UT’s point guard T.J. Ford is likely to go pro. I’m something of a basketball player myself, if being a weekend warrior qualifies, and I was subjected to several of T.J.’s games recently last month. This kid is no pro ball player. In my circles, he’s known as “Turnover T.J.” for a reason. Stay in…
Chicago = Idiot?
What is it about baseball fans in general, and Chicago fans in particular, that makes them such morons?
Martha Burk, Augusta, KKK
The Klan’s going to counter-protest at Augusta National. Geez, crawl back under the rock you came from, KKK. Sometimes the best support is no support at all. BTW, here’s the current MSNBC.com numbers on the issue: Should Augusta National include women as members? Yes – 25% No – 75% * 61643 responses
