Sam Bradford goes pro: Just days before Sam Bradford will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, he ended his reign as Oklahoma's premier passer and entered the 2010 NFL draft. Now the only question remains is how much his decision to play one more year of college has cost him in in the draft and cash.

Coach's trial raises questions about heat deaths: After two-plus hours of practice in 94 degrees, 26 percent humidity weather, Pleasure Ridge Park football coach David Jason Stinson had seen enough of players "goofing off". The fix? Running 200 yard "gassers" until a player collapses and dies.

Steve Spagnuolo is 1-8 with no relief in sight. Is he on the block?

Is this the first rock in a landslide that will sweep Eric Mangini and Tom Cable to the exit door too?
Now that the ice has been broken so to speak, it might be easier for the Browns and Big Al to dump their coaching nightmares.

I can't remember a throw that inaccurate/bad from any game this season
Then you evidently have not been watching Alex Smith.

so-called "native Americans" (a term which is, itself, misleading and misdecriptive)
false paternalism so often involved in these sorts of issues
Not that you are rare, but you don't expect to find such a highly educated and refined racist. But then again, just look at how the British thought of the wogs in their empire.
Not that it will dent your racist reasoning, but since the American Indians have a deep and abiding distrust of whites in general and the government in particular, few if any would give an honest answer to such a survey or indeed respond to it at all. The results are scarcely the barometer of American Indian views that you want to believe it is.
I note also that racists always bring up the U of F's Seminoles as an example of how American Indians are ok with how they are "honored" or portrayed by whites. The image is not the type of rude caricature as used by the Cleveland Indians, nor is the mascot. The university negotiated to gain agreement for use of the name with the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The Seminoles officially approved the relationship and details of the images and costumes before they could be used.
I can excuse to some extent the rednecked, beer bellied, mullet headed, gap toothed, wife beater shirt wearing racists due to their lack of education. But it's apparent that in your case a higher education merely allows you to express your racist views in a more eloquent fashion than most.

I wonder why all of the civil rights and celebrity activists are so silent on this subject.

I have an excellent understanding of depression from personal experience as a result of certain life and military experiences. And while I never actually attempted suicide, it was close enough for a smart, perceptive family doctor who listened to bring in a therapist who put me on prozac for 18 months.
When I sat there seriously considering ending my own life and the best way to do it, I thought of my wife and children, and how sad and traumatized they would be whichever way I did it. And I stepped back from the edge that day and damn glad I did.
I once heard someone say that suicide is the biggest "fuck you" to your family and friends. I agree.

Buy the Gigantes. This ownership by committee and each owner taking a turn at GM is just insane.

"often angry and sullen, he was dogged by controversy and frequently at odds with coaches and fans"
Sounds like the Barry Bonds of football. I don't know this guy's story, so I don't know what reasons he might have for being angry and sullen often. But you might think that being rich and famous would alleviate that just a tiny bit.
With the lower tolerance in the league for this sort of behavior and at his age, he might have tantrumed himself into retirement.

Lincecum Wins NL Cy Young
Anyone know if a pair of starting pitchers from the same team has gotten a higher vote total than Carp and Waino did this year?
See grum above. But is there another starting pitcher that probably got high after the vote?
