I'd give it a whirl again. Since TBH lapped us all last year, I nominate him to set it up. He should also have to start from the tail end of the field.

If it's receiving, I'll takle Burress for 108 yards. If it's YAC as Apoch said, I'll still takle LT with 65.

I remember hearing him say " I found God" when he had the press conference at the time he pleaded guilty. I guess God told him to fire one up and relax.

Moose has been killing me on my fantasy team all season. I've been a fan of his since the baltimore days and can't bring myself to let him go. I guess thats why I suck at it. Everytime I see what looks like a sure fire win,(i've given up on expecting k's), he'll toss me up a nifty little 10.5 ERA and a loss.

Sports Illustrated has been doing an Ankiel Watch for the last year or two. It's been fun to watch. It takes a hell of an athlete to do what he's done. Good for him.

I'm probably in the minority on this, but I don't think the playing field is all that unlevel. I've always thought that baseball was the 1 sport that if you had talent, they would find you. We had a high school kid that threw in the 90's last year and there were scouts lined up at every start he made. He never played anything other than high school and legion ball. I know there are a lot of advantages for the kids that can afford the special camps and lessons offered today, but don't think it goes that far as to helping kids turn into MLB talent. It may help a kid be better than average as far as little league and high school goes, but being a really good high school player is a far stretch from professional ability. To me, that skill level is something you have or you don't...not something you can buy at a camp. As I mentioned in another post on the same subject, I've seen my son's friends dropping baseball like crazy between tee ball and now going into Babe Ruth this year. We had to drop another team because of lack of players and let a neighboring county bring their only team to play in our league. Most kids, all races, are losing interest in baseball long before money becomes much of a factor.

I appreciate your passion for your favorite sport. However, a generic AP column is something you can catch on any news channel's sports coverage several times a day. If we are going to have to weed through posts of every playoff game It's gonna be a long couple of months.

I really wanted Pitino or Donovan, but I didn't really think either would come. Of all the other candidates they had mentioned, I was really hoping for Gilispie, so I'm satisfied. I was impressed with his press conference this afternoon. A reporter mentioned that he wasn't UK's first choice, and he looked at th A.D. and said, I wasn't? Glad to see he has a since of humor. He's going to need it here.

I'm glad Donovan stayed, only because I saw so many Kentucky folks saying things like "Enjoy your title Florida, we will have your coach soon MUAAHAHAHAHA". Yea that was me. If you were offended Venice, please except my apoligies. I think TBH makes some of the coolest comments and posts here. It was only meant as a little good natured smack talk towards him. TBH, if you need an apology too, you got it, but you seemed cool enough to me to get what I was doing. Here's exactly what I was trying to draw out of you: NYAH NYAH NYAH KENTUCKY FANS, SUCK ON THAT, WHY DON'TCHA!!!!!LOLOLOLOL!!!!!

Adolph Rupp had 4 championships before Wooden ever started. I think you could say he laid a little foundation as to how college basketball would be played. Sure Wooden added to the game. So did Smith, Knight, coach K, even Pitino. Give any of those coaches Kareem and Walton back to back and see how many titles they would have. I think Wooden was ONE of the best coaches ever, but to say he is the end all of college basketball is absurd. College basketball is much bigger than any one coach. The game has and will continue to evlove.

i have to disagree with louisville_slugger. pride definitely does NOT have more talent. just look at wanderlei silva. he got his ass beat down in UFC and recently has been dominating in PRIDE. although it will be pretty sweet to see ufc vs. pride 1 That's cool, It's what I like about the future fights. We'll see. Wanderlei has been in Pride for a long time and I think through training, fighters evolve and can't be compared to what they were 6-7 yrs ago. Look at Anderson Silva, he routinely got the shit kicked out of him in PRIDE, now he's the crowned prince in UFC. Henderson lost in UFC, now he holds 2 belts in PRIDE. You could go back and forth with examples here all day. The only downside I see is to my wallet...every PPV is gonna be a can't miss.

I'd really like to see a follow up link here. I'm sure they'll be coming soon with the attention this is getting. Personally, I watched it 3 times and don't see any slap by the father. Not saying there is not more to the story than i know about, but i can't hang the dad from what this shows. If it is nothing more than a teen on a hissy fit, I can only imagine how embarrassed they both are by now. I'd love to see her interviewed.

I can't wait to see some of these fights now. I prefer the UFC, but I've always thought as a whole, Pride has a lot more talent.

Cool story Folkways. I have an eigth grader that just finished his little league carreer and I can tell you, baseball is a dying sport among ALL youth today, whites included. We live in a small town where everyone knows everyone. Kids that were playing with him in tee-ball have been dropping baseball every year for summer basketball and soccer leagues. In our last 2 yrs of little league, there were no black kids left playing and even a larger number of white kids that had quit. Two teams had to be dropped from the league. My son will be starting on the Freshman baseball team this year. I'd love to tell you that it's because he is an elite baseball all-star...but I can't. He'll contribute and be a solid player. But the reason he's playing high school ball while in middle school is because we have only 3 true freshman on the team. This is out of a class of probably well over 100. Kids that were all-stars in little league and babe ruth have passed over baseball for track and tennis. Nothing against track or tennis....but this is BASEBALL for christ's sake! Our kids are not growing up with the passion that we had for baseball, and for me...that just really sucks.

Ya know, I'm sure i'm missing some, but I've thought for at least 10 minutes, and I can't come up with even 1 team that has a white guy as the ''face'' of their team. Atlanta maybe, chipper Jones....and that's a stretch

I don't go back very far, but it would be hard for me to imagine many outfielders better than Andrew Jones and Griffey Jr in his prime. Ozzie, Pudge, and Maddux would seem to be locks in my opinion. I'd like to see you guys lists for first base. A few come to mind for me, but I doubt any of them would get many votes....Andres Gallaraga, Mark Grace

It was not my intention to play "word lawyer". I'm not a wrestling expert. You said it was not hand to hand combat by any reasonable definition. Although I actually agreed with what you were saying, (believe it or not), I wondered how it would be defined. While it was a little ironic to see the hand to hand,I think the second part of that sentence totally supports what you were saying. with the style, rules, and regulations differing widely in amateur and professional matches. Compare catch-as-catch-can (def. 3), Greco-Roman (def. 3). I think that totally supports your statement...It's a sporting contest, and therefore, there are reasonable expectations of limits....which I happen to agree with. Lbb, please don't take offense...while I did find it a bit ironic, I posted defending your position...I can see how it could be seen as something different, and maybe I should have stated my position in the same post. Yay Yo, Im glad you liked the post, but I don't come here to get in any pissing contests.

Secondly, I'm not sure that the argument that these guys are rewarded with a free college education carries as much weight when the coach makes $850,000 a year guaranteed (according to an article from CU's athletic homepage ) which is probably far more than anyone at the University does. I'm sure the coach went to college, so why does his salary have anything to do with it? I'm not denying that there are a lot of issues out there when it comes to college athlectics and how the big money is allocated, but I'm not gonna throw that on this guys shoulders when all he is trying to do is turn a football team around. It sounds like they need all the practice and conditioning they can get. With the salary you mentioned, he could lie on a beach in the bahammas that extra week. Instead, he's committed his time as well as the team's time to build what he hopes will be a winning team.
