Bob Murphy passes on to a greater place. Talk of a true Iron Man...broadcasting games for the Mets since the NL returned to NYC in '62, up through the end of the 2003 season. Quite sad he did not get to enjoy far more of his retirement. I don't think I overstate the case by saying that true baseball fans everywhere will miss him.

F1's most famous privateer passes on. Rob Walker, probably my favorite Road & Track writer (next to Peter Egan), and the most successful private-entry Formula One owner ever, passed away yesterday. (Better article on formula1.com also available.) For those of us who follow F1, a great bit of history -- and underdog success -- has now been lost to us.

The drought's over! USA wins silver & bronze in the 4-man bobsled. Maybe NASCAR is good for something after all.

Toll Gate High Wins Rhode Island High School Hockey Title
Plenty had tried, but Toll Gate finally overcame Mount St. Charles Academy, a school that's produced a number of NHL players, including the first US-born #1 overall pick during their 27 year title run. (ProJo onerous registration required)

Petey, how many of those years were you on the team, 15 or 20? ;-))) LOL. I wish!! I think in that culture, you pretty much have to be in it from when you're like 6-7 years old. Everyone that I knew on the team was in it for at least that long. I moved to that area when I was already 12 years old, so I missed out on a lot of the soccer/swimming/football/ baseball thing. Lacrosse was my thing though since that was getting big when I was in high school.

Let's all have a moment of ... Let's all have a moment of silence for Yinka Dare, the Nets' first round pick in 1994. Dare died Friday at the age of 32. His brief obit mentions that he had 4 career assists, in 112 games played; none in his first two seasons.

Pretty sad because I happened to be going to George Washington (ok, grad school, but it still counts) when Jarvis was here, GW got to the Sweet 16, and Dare was having a pretty big impact to get 'em there. When he decided to go out for the draft, it definitely was too soon though - definitely needed another year or two under his belt. I really hate hearing these stories - I'm about a month away from 35 and, even though I don't have (as far as I know) have any unknown heart abnormalities, these stories of otherwise-healthy 30-year-olds dying really scares the shit out of me.

Mr. Sanders, meet Mr. Douglas. Buster, this is Corrie.
Wladimir Klitschko looked like "Glass Joe" from "Punch Out" as he got beaten rather badly in less than one and a quarter rounds. The man who did the damage? South African Corrie Sanders who had fought 3 rounds in the past 3 years. The "Next Big Thing" just became the "Last Big Bust".

I saw this fight Saturday night. Man, did Sanders kick Wladimir's ass. Personally I'd make the following points: First, Klitschko looked like he went into the ring cold, probably expecting that this would be a total cakewalk. Second, I would bet that this was the first time that Klitschko faced a southpaw. And third, obviously, Klitschko lookes pretty tentative (much like Ruiz last week), whereas Sanders was pretty aggressive. It'll be interesting, to me, to see where Sanders goes after this. There's not many -- if any -- southpaws in the heavyweight mix, and considering some of the power shots he landed on Klitschko, he's an interesting dark horse in the division.

NASCAR Walmart Cup? RJR may end its 32 year old sponsoring relationship at the end of the year. Already nixed for 2003, the "No Bull 5" program that gave out million dollar bonus payouts to qualified winning drivers and a lucky fan.
posted by machaus at 10:45 PM on February 06
Ah, but back when Elliott won the bonus in '85 (then the Winston Million), it was structured differently -- I believe you had to win Daytona, Talladega, and I think the World 600 to get the cash. Sad that I know this, I like Formula 1 much more than NASCAR.

This is a stellar article in my opinion. It's one man's eloquent defense of the Marinoviching of his son, and how he believes he made them into better people. Along the way he asks some pretty good questions, like is pushing your kid to be a baseball stud any worse than pushing them to be a biology stud or professional cellist? n.y. times magazine, registration required

I'm surprised that his KIDS didn't break the baseball bat over HIS head.

"Hail to the, uh, team ... "Hail to the, uh, team from Washington!" The Lincoln [Neb.] Journal-Star has joined the Minneapolis Star-Tribune in banning "Redskins" and other Native American team names and mascots from its pages.

Marvin Lewis is the new head ... Marvin Lewis is the new head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. "I could feel their enthusiasm for winning," said Lewis, who turned down a comparable multi-million dollar offer last month to coach Michigan State. Poor sap.
posted by rcade at 08:26 AM on January 15
Well, personally I think the Bengals would be good for at least 4 wins next year, if only based on Lewis' defensive smarts. If I was Marv, I'd be trying to grab as much draft power as possible -- probably the only way that they'll get college players that are half decent.

Even though he offered to ... Even though he offered to take a salary cut, Steve Mariucci has been fired as the coach of the San Francisco 49ers. CNNSI ponders whether the move was related to an NFL-decreed moratorium on coach-for-draft-pick trades.

coach the Bengals? Marvin Lewis already got hired for that. Interesting to see how long he lasts there! Any speculation on who gets the job now? Ray Rhodes? Dennis Green?

Personally I think this A Very Good Thing. Of course, with Prost and Arrows both going under this past year (apparently Arrows is being liquidated as we speak), it seems too little too late, but I think for the long term this may help a lot. I really do wish though that some consideration is brought again to telling engine manufacturers that they must be able to make customer engines widely available (say, enough to supply a factory team plus 2-3 others). I mean, BMW makes engines but only to Williams; why should Jordan and Minardi, for instance, not be able to buy customer engines from BMW? This is why IRL has an advantage thanks to the engine lease policies they have.

Eddie Murray and Gary Carter gain entrance into Cooperstown. It's about time for Gary, he was always my second favorite player from the 80s. Congrats to both of them, well deserved.

About damn time Carter got in. They don't make 'em like him much anymore. Corpse, agreement here on Sandberg and Trammell. It'll be interesting to see what the voters think of Alomar when he becomes eligible, what with loogies and everything...

We ain't hicks! The governor of West Virginia was apparently not amused by the University of Virginia marching band's portrayal of his state's residents at halftime of the Continental Tire Bowl. The skit involved a ripoff of "The Bachelor," with the Mountaineer rep sporting "blue overalls, pigtails, a talent for square dancing and a dream to move to Beverly Hills, Calif. - a reference to The Beverly Hillbillies." Doesn't the Gov have anything better to do with his time?

SAILING: Louis Vuitton action heats up ... in the wrong way. With the LV Cup Final only a week away, New Zealand members of the Swiss Alinghi sailing team have received threatening letters from "patriotic groups" accusing them of betraying their country. "... (T)he letters warned that the group would damage team members’ property and inflict violence on their families. They said they had tracked the movements of children and other family members, and gave personal details about one crewmember." And Alinghi haven't even won the cup yet; they need to win four races against Oracle BMW Racing in order to contest Team New Zealand for the America's Cup.

ooh, I am SO in on this. Of course, with my luck I'll get Kurt Warner and Ricky Williams if I can't make it on draft day...
