Headlines for November, 2007

Conference Championship Quandary

There is no doubt anymore that college football, on a week-to-week basis, produces better games than the NFL. This is no shot at all of you Sunday lovers, because I also have a fantasy team to manage and sit through three hours of exciting Devin Hester kick returns and questionable Ron Turner play calls every week. But even George Halas [read more...]

Bonds - Another Target in War on Drugs?

What does the war on drugs have to do with baseball? Ask Barry Bonds, who was just indicted by federal prosecutors on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. Bonds is now facing up to 30 years in prison if convicted. Anti-doping advocates, including America's deputy drug czar, are calling for jail time for baseball players who use steroids, saying [read more...]

The Murder of Sean Taylor: Trying to Express All That’s Inside

Evil man make me kill you…If Sean Taylor was Sean Doe in Liberty City, Florida; in Anacostia, Washington, D.C.; in Hunter's Point, San Francisco, nobody would give a damn about his death. We wouldn't hear Michael Wilbon saying that he isn't going for the, "Taylor changed his life" story, because it is his belief that the story is the creation [read more...]

Near Miss in New England

In three weeks we will know with certainty the effect of Philadelphia's 31-28 near-upset of New England. Granted, an upset over the Patriots would have been a feather in the Eagles' caps. Granted, a win over the Patriots would have moved Philadelphia to 6-5, one game behind the New York Giants in the NFC Wild Card chase.But it appeared the [read more...]

Tim Tebow – Touchdown Machine

Every season, thousands of arguments between friends occur on the subject of college football. Some quarrel about different teams, others take aim at certain coaching decisions. But no subject in the sport causes more of an uproar than the Heisman Trophy, given annually to the best player in college football. There are several different theories on who is most deserving [read more...]

Midnight Lute Scares Away Cigar Mile Nominees

Twenty horses were nominated for Saturday's $300,000 Cigar Mile. But only a handful will show up to challenge the impressive winner of this year's Breeders' Cup Sprint.Midnight Lute, who roared from far off the pace in the Sprint on a sloppy Monmouth Park surface Oct. 27 to catch Idiot Proof en route to a 43/4-length victory, is tackling eight furlongs [read more...]

The Essence of Bonds

There is something inherently wrong with the federal government and its four-year investigation and now prosecution of Barry Bonds. Something is wrong about spending millions and millions of dollars of taxpayer money - and there is no law mandating that we even pay taxes - to chase evidence to prove that Bonds lied to a grand jury. There is something [read more...]

November Madness - Year of the … ?

In the Chinese calendar, every year is named after an animal. For example - right now, we are living in the Year of the Boar. Last year was the Year of the Dog. Next year will be the Year of the Rat. College basketball kind of works the same way, except instead of an animal, NCAA hoops seasons are named [read more...]

Money Matters

The holiday season is upon us and, for the record, I couldn't be happier. My elation isn't caused to the usual holiday festiveness, however. Sure, Starbucks is brewing its peppermint mocha beverage, storefronts are dressed with cheery Christmas displays and 2,396 satellite radio stations have already switched to 24/7 holiday programming. But in all honesty, to me, being inundated by [read more...]

The Bonds Indictment - Nothing Is As It Seems

If you watched closely enough, there was one sure sign that the Barry Bonds case would arrive at an indictment. For two-and-a-half years the story was told - one man's obsession that became one nation's possession.IRS agent Jeff Novitzky was watching a San Francisco Giants baseball game at a bar with a friend, and every time Barry Bonds came to [read more...]
