I'm afraid this farce will go to a trial unless the accuser backs out. Once at a trial before a local jury, anything can happen. There will probably be jurors who will vote to convict despite the (lack of) evidence. This is what Nifong seems to be banking on. If brought up on disbarrment...

Nifong has finally changed his strategy because of the absence of DNA. The kidnapping charge is supposed to be that she was held in the bathroom against her will. Simple sexual assault is a lesser charge than rape. The new charges theoretically require less evidence to prove. There were two...

The charges of sexual assault and kidnapping are still there. I'm watching commentary on Court TV by Nifong's supporters, who say it will be easier to prove now.

Have any of you ever heard of Eldridge Dickey? He was a black QB who played at Tennesse State from 1965-67, and was drafted in the 1st round by the Oakland Raiders in 1968. Ken Stabler was picked by Oakland in the 2nd round that year. Dickey was "fast,smart, athletic, with a cannon arm." Al...

Interesting that two mainstream sportswriters would like to write what J.B. Cash writes. A few years ago during the Limbaugh-McNabb Affair, USA Today's John Saraceno wrote that he knew "many sportwriters who were to the right of Ann Coulter." He should have mentioned that they aren't allowed to...

That was "Jefferson Street" Joe Gilliam. We have mentioned him before.

I just dragged out my Neft's Pro Football Encyclopedia. In Super Bowl XIII against Dallas on 1-21-79, the Steelers started 13 white players out of 22. This was the high for the four Championship teams. They were Bradshaw at QB, Bleier at RB, Grossman TE. Kolb, Webster, Mullins, and Ray...

The NFL wouldn't give Johnny Unitas disability benefits either. This was ironic considering the fact that Unitas did so much to make the NFL such a popular sport in the late 50's and 1960's.

I have read about Brown since the early Sixties and saw him play on TV many times, which is different from seeing highlight films decades later. He never has made claims of Black Athletic Superiority, possibly because you could then say that white people are smarter. Brown wasn't help up as an...

So-called "conservatives" like Fred Barnes use the term "white male." Once, reporting on a Bill Clinton vacation, Newsweek said that Clinton had a "white guy" look while playing golf. It wasn't meant as a compliment but was saying that Clinton had a goofy look.

The Giant DL who just let Vince Young go after having both arms around him. It cost his team the game, about the dumbest play I have seen in almost 50 years of watching football.

This afternoon I went to see the latest Bond film and saw a preview for "Rocky Balboa." It's being released December 20. Rocky is now in his late 50's, but is coming back to fight an exhibition with the reigning (black) champion. A few weeks ago, I heard Don and J.B. Cash discuss the longing...

Tonight, Joe Namath is scheduled to be on Hannity & Colmes. This is on the Fox News Channel at 9pm ET. The subject is supposed to be Namath's "trials and tribulations." Namath was recently on 60 Minutes, but I missed it. Mamath has the distinction of being the last white athlete who was promoted...

As I wrote in another thread, Jim Plunkett (a favorite of mine) was always considered a "white QB."

Craig Morton was doing it when with the Giants in the mid-70's.

The Titans have come back to win after a Manning int set up a last-second FG. The Titans were able to tie the score when on 4th and 10, a Giant DL backed off after tackling Young, who ran for a 1st down. I've never seen a DL do that in all my years watching football.

Have you seen our Tennessee coach Phil Fullmer in that orange jump suit and cap? Fullmer looks even worse in that outfit than middle-aged men do in baseball uniforms. He would actually look better in a suit and tie. I remember the first Tennessee football games I went to in 1964 and 1965...

In Buffalo, a petition drive is underway to remove O.J. Simpson from the Buffalo Bills "Ring of Fame." The petition has over 1500 signatures so far. Do a google search for details. The man behind the petition is named Jeff Bryski who says: "He's an embarrassment to the stadium. He's an...

Former aide to Tip O'Neill and a long time TV talking head. Hosts "Hardball" on MSNBC. Mathews has a thing about "white racism," and harps on it endlessly. For instance, he thinks "whites didn't react to Katrina because the victims were African-American." Some years ago, I read in the Washington...

Yesterday, I sent Don an email about a Sport Magazine article about then Heavyweight Champion Ingemar Johansson. It was the July 1960 issue rather than June. Today, I went and dug the magazine out, and read the article again. In the article, Roger Kahn writes among other things, "Every inch...

This kind of spectacle (if it comes off) might get Wladimir Klitschko some much-needed attention.

Don, I heard it on GCN. Thanks to you and J.B. for reading my question.

I read several articles on Pat Tillman's death that were published the last few days. You can find them with a web search. The problem has been that the Army didn't tell the truth about what happened. PR flacks created a story of Tillman leading a charge up a hill and being killed during a...

Post-WWII, there was a lot of pro-Soviet sentiment. Soviet Agents and sympathizers tended to be one of two groups. They were either of Jewish extraction, or old-line WASPS. The execution of the Rosenberg's helped stamp this out. The prosecutor in the Rosenberg trial, and the judge who sentenced...

Webb is now 1800 votes ahead of Allen. Depending on Missouri, the Democrats may well have both houses. I believe Bush actually wanted this, so as to ram through amnesty. The only hope is that there will be more attention to it next year than there was last Spring.
