Just think how much better the Falcons would be this year if they still had Michael Vick's unique talents.

Over the years, I have read several times that many pro athletes don't realize that the fans pay their salaries. The late columnist Jim Murray wrote about this in his autobiography. Murray started out writing about film stars, who were willing to give interviews and promote their product because...

Years ago, I heard an NFL personnel director on a radio show talking about drafting players. He said that a 1st round choice is expected to start for you in his rookie year. A 2nd round choice is a player who is projected to have the talent to start if you need him.

I just typed "castefootball.us" in the Google box and it went directly to it.

Many of us felt that McCain was running to prevent a conservative from winning the GOP nomination, and then to run a Dole-type losing race in the gerneral election. From Lawrence Auster's VFR site (http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/011803.html) is confirmation. McCain saw it as "patriotism"...

In 1961, when I was 11 years old, the 49ers started the season with the Shotgun offense. They were running it on almost every play. It was a sensation at the time in the sporting press. They got off to a 4-1 start, scoring 35 or more in the 4 wins, and losing only to the Packers. One win was...

Obama comes across as young, dynamic, energetic and perhaps most importantly, non-threatening, akin to Tiger Woods or pre-murder spree O.J. Simpson.  Funny thing, soon after the murder spree, I read something relevant about Simpson. It seems that after LA Mayor Tom Bradley was almost...

George W. Bush is more responsible for Obama's victory than anyone. A Democrat with any kind of credibility was going to win in 2008, especially with an opponent like McCain. Mickey Mouse could have won as a Democrat. Obama was lucky enough, along with his massive MSM support, to run in a year...

We would have been in very bad shape if McCain had won. McCain would have pandered to liberals as hard as he could with the GOP dittoheads mostly supporting him. There will be an eventual comeback by the "conservative" side. It may not amount to all that much, but the Dems will lose again. If...

At Lawrence Auster's VFR site, there has been much comment about who to vote for in the Election From Hell. Here (http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/011772.html) a reader tells why he will cast a symbolic vote for McCain even though it will likely be better in the long run if Obama wins.

Because of his lead in the big electoral vote states, Obama has the advantage. Kerry would have won in 2004 if he had carried Ohio. He would have still been over 2 million behind in the popular vote, but would have been elected by the electoral college. Obama's popular vote total may well turn...

I think MLB would be better off if they did do it as in the old days. This means playing in the afternoon in pleasant October weather instead of late at night in freezing cold. The WS would probably get more attention this way, as it used to.

He doesn't look like the next Jim Brown. Or, the next Jim Taylor.

I have seen that show. It is one of the NFL Films Lost Treasures. Ernie Ladd was indeed considered exceptionaly large in the 1960's. He was listed at 6ft 9in, and 300 pounds. Ladd was pretty well built, and fairly fast. He did some pro wrestling in the off-season, I believe. In the 1960's...

The Phillies are up 3-1 and can end it tonight. I can recall when the World Series was played in the afternoon and started the first week of October. The Series was the most talked about event in the America in those days. In fact, during election years, it was said that the campaign did not...

My impression was that it was stupidity about the rule. It is similar to the way you often see DB's intercept a pass on 4th and long rather than simply knock the ball down and give his team 1st down at the former line of scrimmage.

The leaders of the Democratic Party are in fact what would be called in Europe, Democratic Socialists, Social Democrats, or Laborites in Britain.
