After almost 30 years, Thurman Munson still has a place in Yankee history.: His widow, Diane Munson, wonders what will happen to his locker when the Yankees move to a new stadium. His locker is kept empty in his honor.

Ex-players to picket HOF: Some former NFL'ers, wanting to draw attention to the inadequate retirement benefits of some, and their dissatisfaction with the NFLPA leadership, are hoping to make a statement in Canton, Ohio this summer.

I agree, TBH, France Sr. yes, but I would have saved France Jr. for the second round.
Kulwicki, most definitely! He was a man who accomplished his goals in a brief time with so little. And I believe the first collage graduate to win the Winston Cup Championship.

I have to agree with Atheist here. If I was raped, I sure as hell would not wait a year to say anthing about it! I would be down at the police station so fast I'd be a blur on the way there! I would press charges to the fullest extent I could.
And a civil suit and money would be the last things on my mind. At least until the outcome of the criminal trial. Then maybe I would persue a civil suit, if I felt like putting myself through another ordeal of my sexual history, mental stability, and credibility being suspect
I think ( bias aside, see my name) it just comes down to $$$$$$. I felt the same way about the Kobe Bryant case.

Aw, TQ now the librarian wants to know if I need a tissue. Nice story.

Yawn...at this point in time, I could care less what Brett Favre does. Too bad he didn't follow the example of John Elway and retire with class.
Don't get me wrong, I like Brett but I just don't care anymore.

YES! Rod Woodson made it in first time nominated! I am a happy camper!
It is also nice to see the late Derrick Thomas get voted in.

tahoemoj, sorry if I impunged you reputation. You have my deepest apologies.
And I think you are near to me, you're in Tigertown, right, and I am in the "Hall of Fame (football, of course) City".

...other than to stick to threads that do not involve teams from eastern Pennsylvania.
Ahem...last time I checked, Pittsburgh was on the western edge of P-A. : )
DrJE. just for the record, I don't think I ever posted "one for the thumb" but I could be wrong, and, the other hand IS bare.
If the Steelers Defense can't shut down the Arizona's passing game, it will be Warner and Whisenhutt hoisting the Lombardi trophy. (Man that dude can pass a football)

Ah, tahoemoj, you just mad because the Browns didn't make the playoffs.
I find this rather funny myself, but that is just me.
However, I do think an all Pennsylvania Super Bowl would be nice.
beaverboard, how would you pronounce that? Fartstall? (phonetically speaking) : )

I can understand the drunk, abusive fan. But what about the people who are just LOUD? I can bellow louder than a bull elephant when my team is playing. And my "rebel yell" is just as ear piercing. Should I be kicked out of a game just for that? I think that would be a bit much.
In my defense, I want to say I don't do it constantly during the game, only on a score or a really great play.
If some fans want to watch a game where there is no fans swearing or drinking, maybe they should stay home and watch on TV.

DumontDude, you obviously do not understand the logistics and finesse of operating a F-1 race car. This isn't the crash and bash of NASCAR.

Couldn't they just be referred to as "Washington" and let the discussion be about football? Just wondering.

Thanks for that bit of info YYM.
So I guess that is a double edged sword. If you have your name/image copyrighted, EA just works around you. Hmmmmm. IDK if Bonds, Parcells, and Belichick have trademarked themselves, but that would be why they aren't mentioned in the games, right?

Good thing all the players are wearing those Gene Upshaw memorial patches, huh?
posted by wfrazerjr at 10:42 AM
Yeah, fraz, but at least it is a little sticker on the back of the helmet instead of the big GU patch on the upper left front of the jersey. Much easier to ignore.
I wonder if we will be seeing more, if any players copyrighting their images, or having exclusive license for their likeness, signature, name, etc., etc. like Dale Earnhardt did. Then wouldn't EA have to deal with each player individually?

Nice.
I too don't care for the signing in every time to post a comment. But that might be I have so many passwords I have to write them in a little tablet and look them up all the time.

Doctor Who Struck Cyclists Guilty in LA Road Rage Trial
An old biker told me back in my riding days: "Always ride like every car is out to kill you and always figure they don't see you." A good rule of thumb for anyone on two wheels, I think.
This doctor sounds like he just doesn't want cyclists on HIS road.
And I have to agree with the comments that there are assclowns on both sides of the issue.
