A Philadelphia Inquirer columnist, Phil Sheridan, had a column regarding Woods, with these comments: "The possibility for another embarrassing Philly fan moment had to be in the back of the minds of tournament organizers. Let's put it this way: Nobody got tasered." "Indeed the only...

Today's NY Post has this headline: "Rose Hangs On; Tiger Ties For 46th."

At Steve Sailer's site, he has a post on the World Cup. Most of his posters want American blacks to become "interested" in playing soccer. Only with blacks can the US soccer team become competetive, they say.

Yes, I too remember seeing those comedians making Polish jokes on the TV "variety shows" of the 1960s.

"Writers, announcers, and fans routinely made fun of his supposed lack of athleticism." I've been looking back at threads about Pat Tillman. The above reflects what I have thought Tillman's motivation for joining the army might have been, at least in part. Did the fact that Pat Tillman...

Since the late 1960's, a main value of society has been what is called "self-expression." What would have seemed ridiculous became part of the culture.

Months ago, several posters expressed the view that the ritual gatorade shower for the winning coach is one of the negatives of the "modern" NFL. Was Bill Parcells the first coach to have this done on a regular basis? It looked ridiculous but Parcells seemed to enjoy it. Someone expressed...

Roethlisberger is a variation of Tom Wolfe's Great White Defendant. The GWD is useful to pacify white liberals and nonwhites who constantly whine about law enforcement.

During the Duke Lacrosse Hoax, I was reading the Liestoppers forum devoted to the case. A DWF type posted something like, "When African-Americans get interested in lacrosse, they will take it over. Stand back and watch."

Absolutely. Alyssa Milano is very easy on the eyes but the narrator makes you want to hit the mute button.

As I wrote in another thread, Super Bowl XIV is on youtube.

Someone has put Super Bowl XIV on youtube. You can find it by googling "Super Bowl XIV." It is in segments. I'll make a post if the NFL Network shows it again.

I do remember Ferragamo throwing for a huge amount one day. I looked it up at pro football reference and found he threw for 509 yards in a losing effort against the Bears in the 1982 season. Ferragamo played well for most of Super Bowl XIV. With about 8 minutes left and the Rams trailing...

Another commercial the NFL network runs around 200 times a day is the one with Alyssa Milano. It has the same grating narrator.

The NFL network must run that commercial 200 times a day.

I agree. The "sports" channels are giving it more hype than ever before. I have posted before my opinion that nowadays we are TOLD who our favorite athletes are supposed to be, rather than choosing them for ourselves. We are supposed to look upon the World Cup as the year's top sporting event...

Westside, Do you remember when Cromwell dropped an interception that hit him right in the hands in the 3rd quarter? It would have put the Rams up 26-17. Another thing about that game. I have read on a LA Ram fan site that the ticket-scalping carried on by Georgia Frontiere and her new...

I have read that Eddie Brown (as I wrote above, Brown was in on passing downs) was supposed to help cover Stallworth but didn't get there in time. The NFL Network showed the original broadcast a few weeks ago. The Ram starting defensive backfield was Pat Thomas and Rod Perry at the corners with...

No, they are not.

Today against Kansas City, Strasburg allowed one run in six innings and struck out 10, but took his first loss 1-0. Unfortunately, he's with a team that isn't going to score a lot of runs based on their current performance.

A grand jury indicted Taylor today on the charge of rape. All of the major internet news sources are reporting it.

The DWFs go crazy when a white safety appears to be chasing someone across the goal line not knowing whose responsibility it was.

This is one of SI's all-time favorite articles. Little is only a side note in it.

Eddie Brown is who you mean. He was a special teamer and backup safety who played on passing downs. Pat Thomas and Rod Perry were the Ram starting corners in Super Bowl XIV. The 70s Rams were a favorite team of mine.

I have thought that the reason even some DWFs don't like Tiger is BECAUSE of the unlimited hype he receives ("Woods finishes third"). Generations past, people picked their own sports heroes. Now, we are told who are favorite sports stars are supposed to be. Woods is the best illustration of this.
