Run, Stafon, run. →
No matter who you are, no matter how you feel about USC, this past season when Stafon Johnson was rushed to the hospital after a severe weight lifting accident, you couldn’t help but stop and realize what’s really important in life. I believe that often times sports fans (myself included) get caught up in the raw emotion of the game, and forget that the players are often 18-22 year...

Bengals WR Chris Henry dies at 26 →
This morning I awoke to a text message from ESPN, much like I do every morning.  But this one was different.  This morning’s was not what you want to wake to. “ESPN News - Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say Bengals WR Chris Henry died Thursday morning.” I’ve never had “my team” in the NFL.  But I’ve always had a soft spot for the Bengals.  Maybe it was...

Tiger Woods Named Athlete of the Decade →

Fire Turner Gill? →
Really Kansas fans?  I understand you had other coaches in mind and don’t believe Lew Perkins took enough time to find a new head coach, but isn’t this a bit drastic? Sure, Gill’s stats aren’t the greatest.  But as a Husker fan, I’ve always said that sometimes you can’t have common sense, and in this instance, you should follow that mindset.  Gill could turn...

So I found myself in the paper printed alongside this article on Suh.  (Shameless plug: The picture can be found online by clicking on “More Photos (2)” next to Suh’s picture.) But this article is so much more than just my 15 minutes of fame.  It’s about a player who should have been the Heisman winner. Fourth place?  Really?  Maybe Ingram deserved it, but Suh did not...
