I have to agree with THX: the only "real" native people are American Indians. I come from German Immigrants; my wife came from Swedish Immigrants; you came from (insert ethinicity or nation of origin here) and we all get to be "real" Americans.
Add this to the fact that the guy lived here most of his life and all of his running life and the case is closed.
Rovell is an a*hole who thinks anyone with a weird name (by his standards) isn't as American as himself.

I live along a road that is used heavily by both commuters and cyclists, and I use that road for both purposes myself. As a motorist I get annoyed like anyone else when cyclists are disrespectful or disobey traffic laws; and as a cyclist I cannot believe the audacity with which some poeple operate a motor vehicle. It is pretty obvious that they don't give a damn about anyone else around them as long as they get where they are going on time.
What it ultimately comes down to is that the Dr was a loose nut and should be locked up for his actions. He has the right to be pissed at ignorant or disrespectful cyclists, but he does not have the right to assualt them with his car.

To the people out there who think that the trash talk from Hout justified a sucker punch, what the heck are you smoking? I disdain trash talk, but it is an almost ubiquitous action in college (and pro) sports; and it most certainly does not warrant that reaction.
I feel sorry for Blount, as the kid obviously has some serious issues. Ironically, his actions after the initial punch are more telling to me than the punch itself. He postively lost it and I think he should be suspended for the season or removed from the team altogether. I hope "indefinite" becomes definite, and I hope he gets help for whatever it is that ails him.

Sorry Antonio, but the Chargers Organization (and the NFL) is essentially a corporation, and you work for that corporation. The corporation you work for is hyper sensitive about its image, but they pay you a lot of money, so shut up and play.

I will never apologize for disliking soccer/football and perhaps my opinion here is relative to that disdain and or my relative lack of knowledge about the game; but aren't the Galaxy fans just pissed because they root for a team in a bastard stepchild league? And why wouldn't the guy take big $$ for working part-time? Shouldn't they be casting their derision on the team's management/ownership?

NFL's Dirtiest Player: Hines Ward
I was born and raised in Cincy, so my disdain for the Steelers runs deep. I actually thought Porter was bigger punk though. At least Ward keeps his cheap hits on the field .
