    Duke's Lacrosse Team Fiasco

    At Vdare.com, Steve Sailer has a lengthy piece on the Duke Fiasco, comparing it to Tom Wolfe's Bonfire Of The Vanities. I know that Sailer isn't always popular on this Forum, but he points out that "Three (!) minority football players have been accused of assault and rape JUST IN THE LAST WEEK."...

    Hernandez reprimanded for comments

    Hernandez made a big deal out of denying that he was a coke user. I think he even demanded apologies from those baseball officials who had called him a user. It turned out that Hernandez WAS involved, exposing him as a shameless liar.

    Favorite White Heavyweight

    When Rocky Marciano was champion, he was considered a good HW King, but not one of "the greatest." As WS says, Jeffries, Dempsey, and Tunney were rated ahead of him (and yes, so was Jack Johnson). Rocky wasn't thought to be in a class with the young Joe Louis either. These opinions were rendered...

    Mircea Simon, 1976 Silver Medalist

    I remember seeing Parlov stopped by Marvin Johnson for the WBC light heavy title on TV. Parlov had beaten John Conteh earlier that year, 1978. I haven't followed Boxing as closely over the last 15 years as I did in the 70's and 80's, so someone else will have to answer your question.

    Vitali May Return !!!

    Igor Visotsky is the name of the Russian who twice knocked out Theo Stevenson in amateur bouts. I mentioned this in my post on Romanian Silver Medalist Mircea Simon. It used to be said that Eastern European amateur fighters would not do well in the pro ranks because they had to much of an...

    Mircea Simon, 1976 Silver Medalist

    Mircea Simon, of Romania, was the Silver Medalist in the 1976 Olympics. Theo Stevenson of Cuba beat him for the Gold. Simon came to the United States and went 12-1-1 fighting out of LA during 1978-79. He drew with Eddie Lopez and lost a decision to trial horse Leroy Caldwell, and left boxing...

    Duke's Lacrosse Team Fiasco

    I'm watching the Nancy Grace show. You can see a replay at 10pm ET and 1am ET on Cnn Headline News. She has to be seen to be believed. Miss Grace thinks Duke is sweeping it under the rug. She says the suspects are getting preferential treatment, and demands an immediate arrest. Miss Grace is...

    Time To Put Up Our Dukes

    Hannity has indeed been pretty good on immigration. However, he still claims Bush "has a backbone of steel in the war on terror." I heard him say this two weeks ago. Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh attacked the Durham DA for "prosecutorial abuse" in pretty strong terms. Limbaugh has also been...

    Time To Put Up Our Dukes

    Today, Sean Hannitty was questioning the case on his radio show, a first. Slowly the story may be unraveling, assuming the truth is allowed anymore. On Catherine Crier's Court TV show today, a former NYC police official contradicted the DA's claim that DNA and other signs usually isn't present...

    Duke's Lacrosse Team Fiasco

    Last night Nancy Grace suggested that the defendants be charged with a "Hate Crime," as well as rape, because of the supposed slurs. The Durham DA went to the local black college and announced that despite the lack of DNA, "it isn't over." Next week, a Grand Jury will be convened, he said.

    Duke's Lacrosse Team Fiasco

    I saw the Nancy Grace show last night. She took the position that the case isn't over yet, "you get rape convictions without DNA," she said. Regarding Don's comment above on black on white crime, Nancy Grace's fiance was murdered by a somewhat retarded black man. The murderer had been fired...
