This happens frequently in Big HighSchools such as the ones in the Florida area. The PG system is employed strictily in Private Schools, but major recruiting powers none the less. The repeat a year with additional eligibilty is actively employed. Many big highschool players are twenty years...

Curt Schilling. Paul Konerko? Jason Giambi.

I have heard Varitek get called the carmine. As for the rest of the team, I think everyone simply calls them" the idiots" humorously.

How black is the CFL? What is the whitest position? How many players went to Canadian colleges?

Man, what a game he had. He was so dominating on screen passes. As a short receiving back, he was Marshall Faulkish. Ranek could turn a 5-yard dump into 20 yards. He looks ideal for a west coast type offense. However, whites are not allowed to be prolific west coast offense receivers because...

Marcus seems to be much more scummy than Michael. Haven't heard ANYTHING about Brian Finneran. </span>

Texiera is Portuguese I think. Roger Clemens definitely should have started no if's and's or but's. Texiera is Barry Bonds not on steroids. His versatility is a valuable asset in addition to his power. It was nice to see him homer from the right, because he was criticized so much for his...

I usually disagree with some of the comments made on multiculturalism, but this is ridiculous. They are emphasizing diversity and not baseball. I don't hear announcers(Morgan and Berman) discussing people's swings as much as I hear them talk about the domincan flag. Andruw Jones somehow...

The CFL is not a good place for someone to develop ball carrier skills. It is not a rusher's league I don't think. Bennett's duties will primarily be as a receiver in this league. Why? Not because of any Caste propaganda, but because Canadian football evolved differently. There are only...

Vick has only really played in the NFL for 2 seasons, 2002-2003 and 2004-2005. He has done reasonably well and is good enough to be a starting quarterback in the NFL . As far as respect goes, selling more Jersey's to kids than anyone and having a 10 million dollar a year contract sounds like...

A lot of it has to do with the nations auctioning themselves off to the US or USSR. The nation that gave the African country the most aid would be promoted in that country. The US gave a lot of aid out of fear that the Russians would take them over. Of course, with more aid, there seems...

Here is a real long-shot, but the BYU jumper has a 46-02.75 triple jump.

Greater Boston is the whitest metropolitan area in the US I think. This is why it appeals to college kids and is the number one destination for young people I think.

I have heard a few Chinese with Boston accents, but it is a different accent than Kennedy's accent. Kennedy's(despite being Irish) accent is the old Brahmin accent with some New York words thrown in. The more common accent is the south Boston accent, which originated as an Irish grove...

The Greater Boston Area has, to this day, many race conflicts between the Irish and Black communities. It is very liberal in politics, but it can be very conservative in practice. Gays get elected, but no one wants to be near them. The city is heavily Catholic, but the Church is constantly...

Francona's big mistake is not allowing Haffner to be nominated as the 32nd man. Shea is a popular player in Boston still; Maybe that could have had an impact. Plus, the All Star game is not an All-Most Valuable Player Game, but a popularity contest. It can be hard at time for DH's to become...

I am from Boston. Less than 10% of the city is Asian I would say.

Rychlak has re-defined athleticism with his feets of strength. In a traditional test of athleticsm, the bench press, Rychalk has set new standards. He is currently the world record holder with a bench press of 1005 pounds. Edited by: IceSpeed2

Armstrong is neck and neck with Zabriskie. He is in the thick of it, but it will be Lance's most competitive tour yet. Tom Boonen has won twice in a row now.

Windsurfing is a really fun activity. It takes some athleticism, but can be done by all age groups. Balance is a big part of it as well as maintaining control of the boom. At elite levels, tons of tricks and flips are done. Top windsurfers can ride some unbelievable waves.

Did you guys know that the opposing team in the film Hoosiers was portrayed as predominantly black. In reality, the team was largely white despite being in a heavily black area. Oscar Robertson was the teams best player though. I do not think this was outrageous though because it showed that...

Don, it would not be such a big deal if the image was supposed to depict a standard, recreational football team. However, the image represents SI's picks for the top high-school players. By showing the team as black, it dismisses the fact that a lot of the excellent athletes are white. It...

This concerns high-school ball directly, but effects the NFL tremendously. SI has in its recent issue implied that all football players are prototypically black. They listed their high-school all-american team and above the list is a computer generated image of an offense. Each player has a...

A lot of the reason why the league became so prestigous is because of the coaches. Ted Williams used to give a lot of the players tips and even remembered Nomar Garciapara play in the Cape Cod league. Old time Red Sox players are also involved in the league. Coaches have harnessed the...

I do not play, I just watch. This league is far above Legion Ball. Cape League players are among the top players in College Baseball. Last year, there were several players in Rice's program in the league. I think nearly half of there team played in the league. Other college powers also send...
