Hugh McElhenny was the California State Champion in the high hurdles. Some are better in the sprints. At 6-1, 200 pounds, is too slim for heavy duty RB. Sometimes spectacular but streaky. Has attitude problem. Selfish, arrogant and self-centered. Probably would be better at WR. Could be No.3...

I don't live close to a major league baseball team and have only seen three major league games in person. However the parks were Sportsmans Park, St. Louis, and Crosley Field in Cincinnati. Anybody else ever seen games in those two long-gone ball parks? Sportsmans Park was called Busch...

The killer left an invective-filled note in his room. He railed against "rich kids, deceitful charlatans, and debauchery." As I wrote above, that will be the excuse used for what happened.

Alienation from a racist society.

The killer was a South Korean resident alien named Cho Seung-Hui.

You can walk right onto most college campuses if you can find a parking place. Sometimes I go to a college library to do some research. I have done that at Middle Tennessee State University and also at the University of Tennessee. At UT football games there are over a 100,000 at each game. Any...

Hank Aaron was, shall we say, influenced to say some of the things he said during the mid-70's and later. People who knew him in the 1950's and 60's said, "Henry never used to talk this way." Aaron was the most respected hitter in the National League for a 15-year period. He had an amazing...

Don, do you remember what caused the "criminal element" remark? During the 1975 AFC East Champioship game, Raider safety George Atkinson hit Lynn Swann with a forearm smash, giving Swann a concussion. The next year, in the season opener, Atkinson did it again, hurting Swann even worse. This hit...

It is going to be hard to convict any athletes of rape because of the Duke Hoax. On the one hand, a legitimate victim may have trouble being believed. On the other, people will say, "Those rich white boys got off. So should these black football players." I can hear that already.

Yes, it is sad what happened to Darryl Stingley. I once knew a man who played college football at Cincinnati, and was on the Steeler taxi squad one year. "Those are the chances you take," he told me. The book, "They Call Me an Assasin," came out in 1979, as I remember. Tatum ripped Franco...

He gave Wilt Chamberlain and Abdul-Jabbar a hard time, I recall. During, I believe, his third season, SI had a big story on Cowens. One theme of the article was how strange it was that a white center was so athletic.

It should be remembered that both SI and ESPN were among the most aggressive "news organizations" in denouncung the Duke LAX players. I wonder why media sources dedicated to covering sports were most eager to believe college athletes were guilty of a crime on very flimsy, if not nonexistent...

One of the best (or worst) remarks in this line were made by a Duke professor name Peter Wood while attacking the Duke LAX players last April. Wood was quoted in the April 1 NY Times comparing the LAX players unfavorably with Duke football players. "The football players here," he said, "are...

The media never has given a lot of coverage to crime with black victims because they would have to identify the race of the perpetrator. The press thinks it is better to play down the crime in black neighborhoods. Thus, the wailing about "not caring when the victims are black." This case has...

The thread below is from Lawrence Auster's View From The Right site. Auster is a self-described Traditionalist. He points out that it is not out of the question that Obama could be elected President. the reason is that white people are so consumed by guilt that they will vote for a black...

A term I have seen used to describe at least one black player on a pro football team for around 40 years is, "the most respected player on the team."

How often have any of you seen black men working on or repairing complex high-tech machinery? Curiously, there don't seem to be many complaints about this. Not even by people who otherwise trumpet their love for "diversity."

I love the term "sneaky speed." In the early 90's, the University of Tennessee had a WR named Craig Faulkner. He was decribed in the press as having "good hands and smarts." Faulkner did have those qualities, but was also the fastest Vol WR at the time, and often blew by defenders.

Today, in USA Today, Jon Saraceno called for Jones to be "booted from the NFL." Saraceno wrote a very strong column. However, he expects another team to sign him even if the Titans were to release him. Saraceno wonders why the fans accept thugs as pro football players. Every few years, the...

Several years ago, I was reading something by Joseph Sobran, whom I suppose is a favorite of some on this Forum. Sobran wrote something like, "Wilt Chamberlain scored so many points because he played against a lot of white centers." A good many people on the Right would agree with Bayless that...
