Don gets 50 demerits for even thinking such a thing. Edited by: Quiet Speed

It's been many, many years since I've seen it, but Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of Captain Bligh in the 80's version of the mutiny on the Bounty (titled The Bounty) was a performance that stuck out for me. As far as least favorite, I would have to say Richard Dreyfuss.

I read a real doozy of a blurp about Freeman over on Yahoo where he was ranked as the third QB. Hope it has not been mentioned before. Freeman has questions concerning his accuracy and ability to throw to open receivers. It's too deep for me.

Good news. Hope she has not lost too much of her once wonderful combination of speed and power. If Sharapova can return, we may be able to enjoy tennis like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4EKndqm1Yw&feature=related

In another poll regarding Austin Collie, nearly 70% of the voters had not heard of him. It's a small sample, probably mostly Jaguar fans. I figured it would be on the high side, but it's still surprising the percentage was that high. I wonder if it is like that in most NFL cities, It's possible...

The nutty professor, Jerry Jones, is considering drafting a quarterback to run in the wildcat scheme. Dallas Cowboys will use Wildcat formation We may want to do some things on our offense this year with a third quarterback," Jones said. "That's something other than be there as a backup...

I've always considered the drafting of Matt Jones by Jacksonville a kidnapping more than anything else. I like Jimmy's idea of Matt going to the Colts. Dwid, is there any early talk of the Saints being interested in Matt? Are the fans open to it?

Congratulations!

There is something called Sundown Syndrome which can effect Alzheimer's and dementia patients. It's a phenomenon where agitation or moodiness can increase in patients at sunset. Don't know if it explains this unfortunate incident. Don said, "Don't get old." I read a little about...

It's been discussed before. John Mellencamp is in the mix of rockers who excel in caste behavior. He really outdid himself when he wrote the tune Jena.

I was going to ask if someone knew if the tournament had anything to do with the denial of the visa or if the United Arab Emirates was solely responsible. I found an article which sheds a little light. I am not sure if it fully answers the question. The article also brings up the unfairness...

Andy Roddick is not to keen on mixing politics and sports, so he takes a stand and pulls out of the Dubai Tennis Championships. He disagreed with United Arab Emirates denying a visa to Israeli player Shahar Peer for the prior week's women's tournament. The UAE had decided to granted a visa to...

I calculate that I've watch the Home Shopping Network more than basketball over recent years, and that is very little. You might find a good deal or two every so often on these shopping networks, it seems everything they try to sell you during one of these hoop games is junk. I made a...

This case was reported (Who shot Billey Joe Johnson?) on by Charlie Robinson and Dan Weztel on Yahoo and discussed at American Renaissance. Accusations of wrong doing by a white deputy in the death of a young black football star is the upshot of the story. Authorities contended suicide. Today...

I remember seeing her play at the US open. She played no. 2 seed Jelena Jankovic in the main stadium, I believe it was a night match. For a sixteen year old and being on such a big stage she done ok. The second set got away from her, but she did not come out overwhelmed and deliver a clunker by...

I've been reading sport historian's and bigunreal's posts for years now. I would be disappointed to see either depart. The knowledge sport historian brings to the forum is always welcomed. Bigunreal's posts are some of the most articulate and entertaining. Edited by: Quiet Speed

You know jaxvid, I was thinking I wouldn't mind seeing Fed vent a little during a match. Nothing drastic, maybe mangle a water bottle or something on a change over.

Tommy Casanova is another player from yesteryear who is now a doctor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Casanova NFL In 1972, Casanova was drafted in Round 2, pick 29 by the Cincinnati Bengals. He played safety for the Bengals from 1972 to 1977, being selected to the Pro Bowl in...

Another display of terrific tennis even though the 5th set was anti-climatic. Nadal's brilliance is undeniable. Some of those counter-punching winners he hit were unbelievable. Roger had some stellar moments as well. All in all, I must say, Fed's play was puzzling. His passivity on second serve...
