Rush Limbaugh Responds
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 29 Oct 2009 10:46 AM EDT
Rush's Response to Commissioner Goodell's Answer: Of course, Goodell's a total weasel. He had no answer about the Dolphins' owners so wouldn't even address the question, and he got on his high horse about how McNabb is a fine player and a fine person and it has nothing to do with the color of his skin, when I (a) never said he was not a fine person; (b) never said he was a bad QB -- just that he was overrated (which no one should deny); and (c) said the MEDIA was obsessed with the color of his skin (which is also undeniable), not that I was. I RESPECT Donovan McNabb, as I do all the elite athletes qualified to play in the NFL. I'd love to have a beer with him and discuss football. My job on the ESPN pre-game show was to disagree with the panel when I did. The production meeting the day before the show featured two segments on McNabb and the Eagles. The focus of BOTH segments was, "What's wrong with McNabb?" My thought was that not that much was wrong, that the Eagles defense was not getting sufficient credit, and that I thought the media was hyping McNabb for my stated reasons. -- Rush Limbaugh More>>>
The World's Most Ridiculous Sports Team Names
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 29 Oct 2009 08:48 AM EDT
Butte County High School takes the prize with their simultaneously appropriate and completely inappropriate team nickname of "Pirates." The New Zealand national badminton team, the Black Cocks, would have beaten them, only the name was shot down at the last minute by the international badminton authorities and the protests of many angry people with no sense of humor.

The Race Card, Football and Me
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Sat 17 Oct 2009 03:20 AM EDT
The sports media elicited comments from a handful of players, none of whom I can recall ever meeting. Among other things, at least one said he would never play for a team I was involved in given my racial views. My racial views? You mean, my belief in a colorblind society where every individual is treated as a precious human being without regard to his race? Where football players should earn as much as they can and keep as much as they can, regardless of race? Those controversial racial views? More>>> Friday, October 16

Inevitable: Chicago pols blame Bush for Olympics loss
by
Riley Jones
on Mon 05 Oct 2009 08:20 AM EDT
Makes sense. What better way for the international community to express its contempt for Bush’s policies than by … publicly humiliating the guy who got elected by repudiating him? “There must be” resentment against America, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said, near the stage where he had hoped to give a victory speech in Daley Center Plaza. “The way we [refused to sign] the Kyoto Treaty, we misled the world into Iraq. The world had a very bad taste in its mouth about us. But there was such a turnaround after last November. The world now feels better about America and about Americans. That’s why I thought the president’s going was the deal-maker.” More>>> Saturday, October 3

Just when it looked like the Arizona Cardinals had authored the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history -- scoring 16 unanswered points in the fourth quarter -- the Steelers answered with a monstrous, improbable drive.

An early breakdown of Super Bowl XLIII

on Mon 19 Jan 2009 06:47 AM EST
America, are you ready for the Wiz Bowl? That's what we've got in two weeks, a Super Bowl matchup littered with NFL incest and historical intrigue. The Arizona-Pittsburgh cross-pollination goes back to the winter of '06. When Bill Cowher called it a career in Pittsburgh after 16 years as head coach, the media all but assumed offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt or longtime offensive line coach Russ Grimm would take the reins. Keep it in-house, and continue the Steeler tradition. Alas, the media were wrong. Mike Tomlin, a defensive coordinator with the Vikings for just one year, got the gig instead. An outsider, but a fresh face. Whisenhunt took the news (and rejection) in stride, eventually taking over for Dennis Green in Arizona as the new coach of the Cardinals. He brought Grimm — also feeling the sting of rejection — with him as his offensive line coach and assistant head coach. It would be "Steelers West" in Glendale. More>>> Sunday, January 18

Minnesota Dog Sled Race Cancelled Because of Too Much Snow...Wait...What?

This winter, as anyone with a driveway knows, has been a season of prodigious snows. The Frazee area has received about 3 feet of snow, but winds keep creating drifts of 4 feet or more over the course, which was to host races of four to 14 miles. “The drifting aspect is just unbelievable,” said Streeper, a native of Canada who has been involved with dogsled racing for 25 years. “I’ve never seen anything like it.” The National Weather Service doesn’t tally snow accumulations and moisture content for Frazee. But snowfalls in Fargo, 54 miles to the northwest, have totaled 39.3 inches since October, with 2.37 liquid inches More>>> Monday, November 17

on Fri 14 Nov 2008 10:28 AM EST
My buddy, Bill, came to me a while back looking for advice on how to banish the bulging belly he had acquired in his later years. I skipped the diet lecture and instead gave him a copy of the book, Eat This, Not That!, and a single piece of advice: Start with the drinks chapter. Four months later, Bill has adopted the simple food swap philosophy and dramatically altered his calorie intake without giving up the foods and drinks he loves. His reward: 25 pounds and three inches off of his waistline—in around six weeks! More>>> Saturday, November 8

The family of an Australian father-of-four who collapsed and died at a rugby league carnival is outraged that play was allowed to go on despite the tragedy.
Front-row forward Fred Lemson, 40, collapsed of a massive heart attack as he walked off at half-time during the Queensland Rugby League-sanctioned All Blacks Carnival in Townsville last Saturday. "Why didn't they call it off?" his grieving brother Darren Lemson said Friday. More>>> Monday, October 13
