Help msacheson & aacheson settle a dispute!: OK, so msacheson & I were having a debate last night over dinner about which sport requires the athlete to be in the best overall shape? We couldn't agree so decided to hand it off to the all-knowing spofi-ers. Please rate these from the MOST fit to the LEAST fit. +Volleyball +Soccer +Hockey +Cycling +Boxing +Football +Basketball +Swimming+ Choose wisely, cuz if I don't win, msacheson doesn't get any :)

Cancelling the season...Overreacting or justified?: Woodside High school administrators cancel the rest of the HS Football team's season after some of the team members do a nasty chant about their coach after losing again. Is the action justified? Is there be a better alternative? Are they teaching these kids a good lesson? Note that it's not just because of the chant but also because of ongoing discipline problems with the team.

Poor little Darrell Russell: SF Chronicle says that Darrell Russell, friend of felons, accused rapist and X user is just "misled" and too "naive" for fame and riches. I say BALONEY. A 25 year old man, old enough to make 8.3 million, is old enough to know that raping a women who's passed out and taping it is WRONG. That taking illegal drugs while on probation probably isn't a good idea. I say that if he's found guilty of the rape, throw him in prison, cancel his contract, and let him rot.

wfrazerjr, I know of a LOT of people who were married and discovered they were gay after a while. A family in my high school-had 10 kids, married over 40 years and the mom discovered she way gay after all that.... Many people don't realize it-they hide it so deep that they don't know it. It happens more than most think.

There will be less football in my house, thank god. We don't have cable so we won't get MNF, and we don't get good reception for the station getting SNF, so we won't have that, either. I'm jumping for joy. Poor msacheson though!

Yeah, they may be ugly. But I bet they still get some all over the place from groupies.

I love it, "Suck Latrell Sprewell's (Expletive) Night. " Great stuff in Simmons. So , the woman just said he should watch his language cuz there are kids around. That definitely doesn't deserve the tongue lashing. What a (expletive)!

Man, that guy is just such a fine, upstanding guy. I was so very disappointed when he left the warriors. What a loss.

"I just don't know about doping and cycling." I don't understand what the question is....where is the grey line here? Some of your are against getting rid of dopers because it would bankrupt or ruin the sport. It's not a friggin real sport you're watching, people, if everyone is on dope!!! It's dope competing against dope-not people against people! It's got nothing to do with finesse and talent and working hard and mind over body and all that stuff that sports competitions are supposed to be about. You're not watching real people...you're watching who got what better drugs. That's no sport.

Yes, "You still have to hit the ball," but Giambi has made his NAME by hitting the heck out of it, like Bonds has (for the most part.) The yanks don't pay him all that $ for just his good looks...they're paying for the big hitting and that is being accomplished by cheating. I hope they do something very serious to these guys. Not monetary fines...who cares when you make as much as them...I'm talking banning from the sport, banning from the hall of fame, make the union accept random drug tests or tests before and after EACH GAME. Stuff like that...is the only way to get them clean.

There should have been more security as the Rangers requested. And Oakland fans can be real a-holes (although I usually save the generalization for Raiders fans. Not A's fans.) But there's no excuse for being a big baby and throwing a temper tantrum. I usually think lawsuits for injury are frivilous, but in this case, it's probably warrented. What a big, fat baby.

Well, billsaysthis, I disagree. I think she nailed what was wrong with this trial on the head. She got them all. The arrogant ball player, the court system that allows the destroying of people, hyper-agressive, media hungry, well paid laywers, incompetent judges and clerks, rabid media, and a woman of dubious morals who may or may not be lying, but is destroyed nevertheless. Whom do we blame?

Wow Skot, that was GREAT. She nailed it on the HEAD. Thanks!

Pivo, very good points. Esp. about the defense team doing their job. Which they did, very well. Also I agree that "Personally, I have no concrete idea if he is innocent or guilty of the charges, though I would guess I skew towards consensual sex with twists and perhaps some regret in hindsight " except I would add that Kobe has a great disregard for the woman and what was going on with her while they were having sex. That's fairly evident. And yes, I am very upset about the judge and clerks and everyone and their brother who leaked things, and let her name slip and for letting info about her sex life and mental health to get out in public. They should get most of the blame. What a bunch of idiots. But the point of the thread was what will happen to him now re; endorsements and the court of public opinon. And I'm stating my opinion of him. Not of his defense team. Not of the prosecution. Not of her. Of him. And what he did. And how he thinks and how he acted.

Root for the Home Team (for $3,000 a Night)
I can totally see your thinking yerfatma. But I think this is cool. This guy isn't harming anything. He hypes everyone up, helps people have a good time, get's people into it, helps people laugh. And it gives a seemingly cool guy a cool job we're all jealous of.
