The sad thing is, this "old news" keeps coming back up because peopleneed to change their thought processes when it comes to race. As a Black man, I feel that the coaches comments were just plain ignorant, and shouldn't be blown too far out of proportion.

How bad are the Raptors? Well, lessee ... for the first time in 17 years, an NBA team dropped an exhibition game to an international squad. Maccabi Tel Aviv of the Israeli league dumped Toronto 105-103, leading Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell to say, "If it kills me, we're going to try to get better. If I have to die trying, then that's what's going to happen. I'll die in the gym."

Weedy makes a great point...if there's fan support (and the numbers definitely indicate it), the front office needs to step up and spend that money on something other than their Learjets or their third wives' collagen injections.

LaVarmageddon The LaVar Arrington situation is becoming a distraction for the a team hoping to become something more than mediocre. What role did the Devil play in the burgundy and gold benching their highest paid player?

It's times like these when I just smile and say...see you next year, hopefully on a better team.

Coach resigns after high school bans pregame prayer A spokeswoman for the district, Trish LaDuca, said students have the right to pray on school property during school events, but the prayer must be initiated by the students; otherwise it violates the law. "I'm not out preaching, I'm not a preacher," said Borden, who has led the football program for 23 years. He has a 116-100-1 career record, and his team won the Central Jersey Group IV championship in 2004.

If the Pledge of Allegiance is allowed, which for all intents and purposes is a vow to God, hence, a prayer, then why can't a coach pray for his players? Perhaps he was praying that his players emphasize sportsmanship, not victory. And if you believe for a moment that there is a separation of church and state...check out the last couple of elections, and look at the Christian lobbyist groups. I'm not arguing for or against prayer, but to say that you're immediately against ANYTHING without looking at all sides of the issue first is simply ignorant.

Playoffs don't need Berman's embellishments Couldn't agree more. Berman is good on Sportscenter, but not in the booth.

Berman's ego is much larger than his rotund frame. In fact, if it gets any larger, there will be a rupture in the space time continuum which will result in 25 WS championships for Boston, a Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl dynasty...and maybe then Berman will actually shut up.

Being good or being hot?
In the MLB playoffs, what matters most in determining who is going to win the whole thing? Overall record? September momentum?

Good defense, strong pitching, decent offense....and momentum. These are all big factors in deciding who wins and who loses.

Old Man on Campus Jim Harper, the fourth-string tight end for the Millsaps College Division III football team, is a 48-year-old who had eligibility left after a 27-year absence from the school. His effort to finish what he started has inspired me to return to Yale Elementary in Richardson, Texas, to earn my Webelos badge.

Thank God for Jim Harper. For once, a sports story that doesn't involve gamblimg, drinking, or spousal abuse! Good show!

Taking one for the team? "It was never mine or the team's intention to humiliate or ostracize any member of our team brotherhood," said a McGill University football player who has been suspended indefinitely after a freshman was forced onto his hands and knees with a dog toy in his mouth while being prodded anally with a broom handle. Bonus points: McGill's chancellor's name -- Dick Pound.

Boxer Dies From Injuries Sustained in Bout The family did the right thing and the those in the sport say nobody to blame.

This type of things has happened before, and unfortunately, it will happen again. Boxing IS violent, that's a fact. Using lighter gloves may help a little, ut I don't think it will stop these tragic incidents from occuring. This seems to be a situation where you can't really pass the buck here. The fighter that passed on had the choice of pulling out, but he didn't, and he went into the ring with a clear mind and heart. Perhaps as a society we need to take a closer look at what entertains us. Remember, Rome was brilliant and advanced as well...but they had the gladiator pits.

Worthless Baseball Card Collection "In 1988, the Baltimore Orioles were forced to revert to traditional uniform pants when the button on Floyd Rayford's elastic waist band rocketed into the crowd and injured three fans."

I personally believe that the game was well played by the Steelers, and the Colts offense began showing up late game. There was some poor officiating, yes, but when it's all said and done, the best team won. Good job, Steelers!
