Considering the make-up of pro football crowds I can't see that it makes much difference where the game is played and who is attempting to entertain at halftime. I would hazard a guess that if the Stones were polled as to who their major musical influences were, they would almost all be...

Arlen Sphincter is the senatorial equivalent of Feral Owens.

WL, is there a good site you can recommend for keeping up with Aussie T&F?

This is out of left field but the (fill in your own favorite superlatives) player in the game has a career qb rating of 77.8, his per attempt average is 6.8 and his completion percentage is 54.3. Doug Flutie, one of the all-time favorite whipping boys has a career qb rating of 76.4, his per...

None of the schools purportedly showing interest in him will give him a shot at rb. Stand-out white rbs need to promote themselves to schools where they might at least have a fighting chance. What happens is that players like Attaway are scooped up by the FSU's and such and then put through...

It was a Thanksgiving game. That was a really unbelievably dumb play. You'd think that anything that the average fan knew about the game might have seeped into his conciousness at some point in his playing days.

On his first carry tonight he hurdled a would-be tackler in a way that is almmost indescribable! You have to see it to believe it.

Apparently these two aren't into shiny poles.

After Zbikowski's punt return Patsy Haden tried to explain his success at punt returning with the usual mealy-mouthed comments about finding a way and being "just fast enough".

As a rule the D-1 and professional coaches are as imaginative as lemmings. They seem to follow the latest trends in lock-step unison. It is amazing that any innovations happen at all and the ones that have happened lately are to the detriment of sports generally. If these coaches don't want...

The "Williams Sisters" combined totals for the season so far...27 catches for 368 yds. Steve Heiden the never mentioned TE of the Browns has 23 catches for 248. Heiden's YAC is 131 while Roy's(Serena?) is 47 out of his total of 187.

"He's ingenious."! "He's creating his own mold for greatness as a quarterback."! If you tried to come up with a parody of Vick worship you could not do any better than this stuff. Why do I think that when it comes to watching black athletes Mora is getting a little more than just "goose bumps".

Ostertag has had a good ride. Kansas has a way of producing white centers that manage to keep themselves employed in the NBA for about a decade. Ostertag, Greg Dreiling, Paul Mokeski.

Did any of you see Stanford v. UCLA? Frank is a fullback converted from nose tackle. He only had 20 carries coming into the game but against the Bruins went 13 for 61. He seemed a bit awkward at times but was very effective. If they used him more often he would be quite a weapon. Needless...

Exactly right Colonel! LSD is the drug that put American running into a stupor. I got so sick of Runner's World pushing the wonders of slogging around for hours blah, blah, blah. They seemed bound and determined to make running a non-competitive sport where everyone's a winner just by takng...

Good article JD. It put me in mind of an article I read many years ago(about 15) that made the same point about the level of training intensity possibly being the difference. Some said that black Africans may have physiological advantages that allow them to train harder, others thought that...

Capelletti was a tough runner. A Penn State tandem I enjoyed watching was Matt Suhey and Mike Guman in the late '70's. Both of those guys went on to have nice pro careers.

Don, I can only imagine how painful it must have been to listen to Madden's splutterings. And imagine I must because I won't watch MNF with him on it. He has ruined enough games for me. 16.3 is the actual QB rating the most dangerous player in the game managed tonight. But hey, he did...

David Boston is an example of what I heard Tony Siragusa say several years ago regarding many NFL players..."looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane."

Actually, an Hispanic rb started for Oklahoma tonight. Jacob Gutierrez of San Antonio got to start because Adrian Peterson and his back-up were injured and Kejuan Jones managed to get himself suspended for the game. The 5'6" Gutierrez ran 30 times for 173 yds. So, if an Hispanic, Asian or...

The lad in the avatar is Valery Brumel who held the world record in the high jump for the greater part of the '60's. In that picture he is demonstrating the white man's lack of hip flexibility by touching a basketball rim...with his foot! Can you say groin pull? A good article for an...

SteveB, it is exactly how many folks in San Fran think. In fact, they think that way about almost everyone that doesn't inhabit Frisco, Manhattan or Hollywood. The saddest part is envisioning the Gates' readers nodding in agreement as they read such a rancorous attack on what seems to be a...

Tom Jackson on Primetime said that Jones didn't look like a former QB but was a "present wide receiver". Odd phrasing but good to hear a commentator say positive things re Jones. This came after nice comments about his TD catch.

BTW, he was also on the basketball team... Basketball starter who averaged 17.2 points on 58-percent shooting as a senior and set school career records for blocks (161), steals (225) and assists (325); a first team all-state selection for all divisions by the Capital Journal; Mercury's...

Nelson won 4 events at the 2003 Kansas 3A state track meet. BOYS' 100 METER DASH: Jordy Nelson, Riley County, 10.63 BOYS' 200 METER DASH: Jordy Nelson, Riley County, 21.64 BOYS' 400 METER DASH: Jordy Nelson, Riley County, 48.79 BOYS' LONG JUMP: Jordy Nelson, Riley County, 22'09.50"
