Follow me on this...   Fear has been around since the dawn of time.  The Bible teaches to fear God and love thy neighbor.  The mentally disturbed or socially destitute have also been around as long and longer as horses have been lowered onto royalty.  Fear of each other though is what drives schisms between communities.   Why do people commit disturbing behavior, which sometimes escalates to violence?  The answer to that riddle may lie in one of the earliest acts of violent yet romanticized psychosis: John Wilkes Booth.   A nationally famous actor in his day once named “Handsomest Man in America” which was then ...

Donald Fehr did his job, whether you like it or not.  That is because Fehr's job was to protect players in contract negotiations. The fact is that the juicers made big money thus that is where many of the big contracts went.  Thus, that money and those contract negotiations affected all players, regardless of whether they juiced. The reality is that the players are not solely to blame.  You cannot call the players greedy without saying the same thing about the owners and Bud Selig.  They were equally greedy, but as I see it, the owners initiated the problems that became the steroid problem when ...

I have written Internet journalism for over a year now. In that time, I have published stories on topics that I believe to have been ignored by the mainstream media. Why do I do that? I do believe that many in the mainstream media are hindered by forces that do not affect a blogger, such as a paycheck and adherence to the authority of those who give them that paycheck (ex, newspaper companies and advertisers). At the same time, those in the mainstream have more training in their field and are therefore less likely to make costly mistakes yet are more timid to cover a ...

As a draft-nik, what I am about to advocate might shock some. There has been plenty of talk about the ballooning salaries for rookie players that have become a detriment to veteran players that deserve the reward. In my mind, the biggest examples for why the NFL Draft should be fundamentally and drastically changed are quite simple: Ryan Leaf, Heath Shuler, Todd Marinovich, and Tony Mandarich.
