An interesting article from CNN is about bullying - but not from the perspective we're used to. This piece was about the bully, not the bullied. (Personal aside: I don't know how I feel about the "he/his/him" pronoun being used in this piece, though.
Michael Hermanson In Week 3, we got some more information to compare how good certain teams actually are.
Pastor Eddie Long allegedly coerced a 15-year-old into sex on a trip to Africa. He denied allegations from three other men,along with the one mentioned above. Apparently the pastor attempted to tell the young men that his attentions were unique, and special - he tried to tell them that they should appreciate what attentions were being bestowed upon them. The initial accuser first met the Pastor in Charlotte, North Carolina. Eddie Long has been vocal about his stance against homosexuality. This story is quite similar to the story of Tye Tribbet, a Gospel singer who had an affair with a woman in his traveling performer group.
Diana Davis On the Road Again The sun is rising and the women’s golf team is headed for the van.
Jeff Skinner may make the Carolina Hurricanes. Crisp passes. Solid shot opportunities. Two points (a goal Saturday in a 1-0 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers and an assist Friday night in a 3-1 loss to the Nashville Predators) in two games.
She stands on the sideline, chest exposed, shirt revealing a portion of her midriff. From a distance, there is no indication that she is on this field to provide a service to those dependent on her journalistic skills - rather, she could be anyone.
Mike Hermanson In Week 2, my starters fared well for the most part. Mike Vick was 4th among QB’s with 21 points, while Darren McFadden played a great game; however, he only got 14 points, as he didn’t score a touchdown.
This year's MTV Video Music awards were absurd. Absolutely. Absurd. Every moment of the pre-show made me cringe.
Zach Horner Last summer, the Carolina Hurricanes won it all. Now, before you call me crazy and predictably say I am wrong and the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup, I will tell you that you are right in saying that.
Michael Hermanson Week 2! For all you fantasy owners who started Kevin Kolb, Brett Favre, or Matt Schaub expecting monster weeks, I’m here for you.
Conor O'Neill Week 1 has come and gone, and we already have controversy. Between talks of a lockout, a QB controversy in Philadelphia that will drive P.E.T.A.
Trying to start off a sports blog like this with a thoughtful and inspiring quote seems like it would be a bit pretentious.
Conor O'Neill We have 25 days left before the end of the baseball season. So, with no further ado, here is a division by division breakdown of each playoff race. AL East: The World Series Champion will come from this division.
I hope to become a bit more pro-active about not being overly anxious about the end of the world, but it's news like this that completely throw me for a loop! Oh and hello. Sorry - I neglected to acknowledge the start of a new school year, and the beginning of new opportunities to read this blog!
Conor O'Neill The last time my baseball team had a winning season was 1997. I was eight. I don't remember much about it.
Pam Richter It takes a special softball player to be a household name, but that is exactly what Jennie Finch did during her collegiate, Olympic and professional softball career. On July 20, Finch officially announced her retirement from playing softball.
Sam Calvert While I might not be the avid Washington Redskins fan like several others here on staff, I am a football fan, and thus my attentions have turned to defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth this off season.
I wasn’t going to post about this. I didn’t want to give it any more publicity than it already has — which is over-the-top. But I can’t resist. Something needs to be said about the LeBron James move to the Miami Heat.
Pam Richter Since the World Cup kicked off more than a week ago, there has been talk about the controversial call for the Americans, Spain being upset in its first game, the self-destruction of the French and of course, the horns being sounded throughout the games, the vuvuzelas.
