Dolphins' Taylor stabbed in road rage incident Taylor refused medical treatment after suffering a minor stab wound in his forearm following a near-accident. The incident has been classified by police as a "hate crime," due to the use of racial epithets by the attacker.

rcade, youre absolutely right, because here in florida we had a new law recently passed that states if you are in fear for your life and are in involved in a an incident such as the one described in the story, you have the right to shoot. If that had happened, and Taylor had been killed, then Mr. trailer park could feasibly gotten away with it.
Earl Woods dies at 74 Earl Woods, father of PGA star Tiger Woods, has died at age 74 after a long battle with cancer. Has any other father ever been more a part of his offsprings' career and fame?

Pittsburgh's Road to the Super Bowl Few teams have taken a longer route to the Super Bowl than the Bus-driven Pittsburgh Steelers, whose 34-17 victory over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship makes them the first team since the 1985 New England Patriots to win three road games to reach the bowl.

Intellectual Property or Historical Facts(pdf) Major League Baseball clamps down on unlicensed purveyors of fantasy sports sites as they attempt to make certain that all baseball related revenue is generated by them. Now the courts will decide if it is news or commercial property.

Official was wrong The NFL actually admits a mistake by a referee. In a game marred by many bad calls against both sides this was the most flagrant. You know it had to be bad for the NFL to admit it publically.

one thing that i didn't see mentioned, but might have missed, was the practice of teams using draft pick positions as trading tools, wouldnt that deflate the monosopy a little? Anyway, i think i have a solution.... First, in regards to unsigned rookies, to free up money in the salary cap, and reward the athletes who actually prove themselves to be worthy of big dollars, the amount paid to rookies and 2nd year players should be a set amount ie-rookies get league minimum, 2nd year players get a 40% increase, but they should be able to receive performance based bonuses at the end of the season, this would give them incentives to do their best and put each prospect on a level playing field. In regards to the draft, they should have all the rookies coming into the league chosen by having their names put into a giant hat, worst team picks first, blindfolded of course, and has to stick with its pick for at least two years before the player can be traded. If the player doesnt like the team they were picked by, there's always the CFL, or NFL Europe.

New haka the cutting edge of sport A throat-cutting gesture at the end of a fierce new All Black haka symbolises the cutting edge of sport and not the slaughter of opponents, says the haka's composer. This story is nearly a month old, just checked the archives and noticed it flew under the radar. If you haven't seen the new haka, check it out. Forget national anthems and exchanging pennants and flowers and all that crap, the haka is the best pre-game ritual in world sports. I've been digging around for some good video, and so far the best I have found is the one on the NZRU website -- it sputters and starts, but it's the only thing I've found online. Some people think the haka pushes psychological gamesmanship to the limit and gives the ABs an unfair advantage -- what do you think?

You're not wearing that shirt in this house! Boston Red Sox are "strongly urging" fans to not display the infamous "Yankees Suck" t-shirt in the ballpark.

I find burning the American Flag offensive, but that is a right protected under the Constitution, just like someone's right to wear a Yankees Suck shirt, it's a form of freedom of speech and although may not be in the best taste, is still their right to wear it. I think the Red sox organization is treading on the thin line of censorship. Being a Sox fan myself, I wouldn't personally wear the shirt, I'd rather just wear some Sox garb, that speaks volumes in itself. JMO....
where's the picture of the girl?
