The Mother's Day Massacre An excerpt from a new book about Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King describes the battle before the battle--Riggs' defeat of world #1 Margaret Court Smith--which led King to finally accept Riggs' challenge. A fascinating snapshot of a moment in sports history, and of the forgotten star who still holds the record for Grand Slam singles titles, male or female. (NYTimes registration may be required.)

Saints to LA? Let's see. Rams, Raiders. I don't know why a city the size of LA can't keep a football team. They've had two chances. Maybe San Antonio should get the chance.

Saints May Be Gone for Good Owner Tom Benson is "leaning strongly" to a permanent move of the Saints to San Antonio, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. "This is like pouring salt into the wound," said Louisiana state senator Mike Michot.

It's not a matter of public announcement (note this is a state senator leaking a private conversation) nor is it a matter of holding the city up. If the Superdome can't be salvaged (or can only be salvaged at tremendous cost), then New Orleans will have much bigger priorities than building a new NFL stadium. Old New Orleans had trouble supporting a team (I'm talking financially, contractual payments to the team, not fan support); New New Orleans will have no possibility of doing so in the short-to-medium run.

The Tuesday Morning Quarterback parodies are particularly well done if you have a few hours to kill.

This set of "triplets" to be placed in the Cowboy "Ring Of Honor" Smith, Aikman, and Irvan are to be honored this year by being placed into the teams "Ring of Honor" This has sparked a lot of discussion on the "talk shows" as to who is/was the best trio (QB, RB, andWR) in the NFL. The Trio of Montana, Rice, and Craig were mentioned as being better. Other sets of triplets were brought up as well from the Bills, Steelers, Packers, Dolphins and so on.....It would be interesting to see who everybody thinks is the best "trio!???

If you're looking at the Steelers, you can make just as much of a case for Stallworth over Swann. The Montana point bugged me a bit--he wasn't like Unitas in San Diego or Namath mopping up in L.A. Montana was still a starter leading come-from-behind wins and taking his team to the playoffs in K.C. And if we just take the talent of the 3 guys and remove them from the other 42 guys around them, the current Colts trio may be as good as it gets.

Both L.A. teams left for sweetheart deals elsewhere--not because they were supportedly all that badly. And remember this: if 90% of people in L.A. County couldn't care less about the NFL, that would still leave more people caring than the entire population of San Antonio or New Orleans.
