Jimmy Walker dead at 63. Walker was the only player from a New England college ever to be drafted #1 in the NBA draft, and was the father of Michigan's Jalen Rose. At one time, they held the NCAA Division I record for career points scored by a father and son.

Jockey Who Kicked Horse Faces Hearing Veteran's Reputation Tarnished by Televised Blow to Belly

When you read the story, I guess the horse hit him first, but this is the risk you take when you get on top of a large animal and attempt to ride it. These horses have no choice but to race, our ignorance and childish gamlbing ways have created a very poor situation for these beautiful animals.

'Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and thousands of Haitians leave the country each year to escape miserable living conditions, violence and political instability.' Anywere is the Western Hemisphere can be considered the best country in da World for these boys, even New Yorks, ghetto!
(I)t hit me, the Spurs are Nickelback. They're that band whose music isn't offensive but you've heard it so much you can't stand listening to it anymore. That got us thinking about how other basketball dynasties relate to other music acts from history. Here's what we came up with.

They remind me of those Pistons, great team players, no real super star, but plenty of stars. Unselfish play, I really hate them, but they get it done, don't they. I hope Lebron can make it interesting for us, becuase although it's not boring, it is not exciting either. Lebron should make it fun, while the Spurs do their thing.
Try telling this one to the parents and coaches .......Oh and by the way, good luck with a lot of the kids too!

Great article, brings much good discussion. Stretching will prevent injury, before and after including in between the games and practices. But you get injured from just about anything in life, so do YOGA! Secondly in order to rebuild muscle burnt from athletics, eat proper nutrients, including vitamins (organic if at all possible). When I coached most parents and kids really did not understand all this. It is a lifestyle choice that will pay off in the long run.
Titans' Pacman is suspended for 2007 season and Chris Henry of the Cincinnati Bengals received an eight-game suspension — both for numerous violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy.

I like IRUNNIKE87 comment. Make them still be apart of the team. Attend all events, just not able to play. I'll take it one-step further and say, the team is now responsible to pay them accordingly, since they will not play, but still take part in the workouts, practices and all other events. Pay minus, game pay. This will help get them back on track, allow them to regain face and show some respect and remorse for what they have done. Not all bad, and it's seems to guarantee them back after the punishment. And I also think the whole season is too long, but I guess this will make others think twice. It's that example thing that Pacman is paying for. I do feel for him. It probably should have been around 10 games or so.
"Juventus, giants of Italian and world football, were cut down in Serie A's match-fixing scandal last summer and relegated to the second division for the first time in their 110-year history." This well-written article follows the team and their remaining star players in their year of shame.

Long interview. 'Le Zebre', I can see the moview now, the Zebras, the nickname of this club, since they have those black and white stripes, showing how the director tries to get the referees that will favor victories, but is that really fixing games? Not fair play, yes, but he should of been removed from the league and the champoinships banished, that would of been enough. This creates an amazing story. They get back to A by winning B and then win A, a perfect movie, or even loose in A, but still a good story.
Men Want to Know How a Batter Swings A page design article on an eye-tracking study offers a tidbit on how people observe baseball players at bat, using a photo of George Brett as a test. Women looked at Brett's face. Men divided their time between his face and his equipment. (Via Jason Kottke).

Are they sure we are not just wathcing his hip turn, since this picture is during impact. These studies don't tell you everything. My eyes would scan his whole body depending how far I am from the hitter of course, but at impact all I care is did he hit it and were does it go!

Wendel Clark is Barry Melrose's cousin according to Wikipedia's "List of Family Relations in NHL". There's also the List of second generation Major League Baseball players and many other random lists of sportspeople.

"I love sweaty basketball players." George Takei responds to Tim Hardaway's recent anti-gay comments.

That was funny, and made a good point about this whole thing, we need more humor, not bashing. It would be nice if we didn't judge people so much, but if that judging takes place, we need this type of counter judgement, HUMOR. I am not Gay, but OK with it, because it gives me more chances to find women. The more gay guys we have the less straight ones, for all those striaght and bi-women! It's a joke people....
Tim Hardaway, the yin to Jon Amaechi's yang: "First of all I wouldn't want him on my team," said Hardaway. "Second of all, if he was on my team I would really distance myself from him because I don't think that's right and I don't think he should be in the locker room when we're in the locker room."

I thought Christian Latner came out gay while at Duke? Am, I wrong, this is not the first player to come out of the closet, or maybe it's just the first to make a media statement about it. Who cares if they are gay, there are many gays in the league and I am sure Tim Hardaway played with several not even knowing it. Which would explain why they keep it a secret, people like Tim treat gays differently, so they are scared to come out. Now we have come full cirle on this issue, thanks Tim for justifying the FEAR in gays coming out!

The real goones from hockey are all gone (thank god for that one), unless they have speed and can play too, then there just tough, like Yashin a black belt martial artist (don't F with him). This was just a bad a call and a dirty play. It happens. I think that we have an amazing new star in the game and that is really difficult to find today because all the technology and conditioning has moved forward to provide a compettive much faster game. The only one that suffers of this great advancement is the referee who can't keep up and makes bad calls, becuase he is human. How about instant replay, or computer referee systems, which would make hockey different from all other sports!
"World's Oldest Hockey Stick" goes for $2.2 million! The curved hunk of hickory, believed to have been carved between 1852 and 1856, was purchased by an anonymous bidder. The purchase price will go to charity. Here's a shock: a Canadian bought it.
