Bryant Gumbel Gumbel addressed his closing remarks on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel last Tuesday to Goodell. "Before he cleans out his office," Gumbel said. "Have Paul Tagliabue show you where he keeps Gene Upshaw's leash. By making the docile head of the players union his personal pet, your predecessor has kept the peace without giving players the kind of guarantees other pros take for granted. Try to make sure no one competent ever replaces Upshaw on your watch." Gumbel is contracted to do eight games this season, on the NFL Network, that could change.......

Good Ole Boys learn a lesson - there is some very bad language in this, as good ole boys do not seemingly understand how to speak nicely...

So take this And This , a person needs to know this if he is to handle elephants....

BRECLAV, Czech Republic (CP) - Canada maintained its under-18 hockey dominance with a proven formula of strong defence, timely scoring and loads of hard work. ''It feels unbelievable, 22 men putting in an unbelievable effort,'' forward Tyler Ennis said after scoring to help Canada beat the United States 3-0 to claim the gold medal at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial tournament Saturday. ''They didn't have a sniff and we just played awesome and it feels unreal. ''Good things happen when you stick to the system.'' Brett Sonne scored twice and Trevor Cann made 20 saves as Canada won gold for the 10th time in 11 years at the summer tournament for the world's best under-18 players.

You are great.....

Life ,like baseball can be unfair I agree with this opinion 'll confess I would have walked him too, although I would have probably instructed my pitcher to do the "unintentional" intentional walk by not giving the slugger anything near the plate. There was some discussion on the radio asking why the losing team's coach allowed the boy with cancer to bat with the game on the line, but Reilly writes that, by rule, everyone on the team bats, therefore a pinch-hitter could not be inserted. The league also apparently had rules on capping runs per inning as well as a rule against base stealing. That's exactly the point. In games there are rules. Had the league wanted a no-intentional walk rule, it should have had one in place. But here's the biggest rule. They keep score. This was the championship game, which automatically means someone decided there needed to be a winner. That being the case, players and coaches on both teams should do all they can (within the rules) to win. What does the coach on the fielding team say to his team after the star hits a home run to win the game with first base open? "Sorry boys, we didn't want to have to let the kid with cancer bat with the bases loaded. It was better that we just didn't try to win." If 9-year-olds aren't ready to start to learn to accept losing, don't keep score — just like T-ball for 5- and 6-year-olds. At some point, however, kids need to learn to deal with winning and losing. I'm certainly no parenting expert, but with my boys, who are 6 and 4, we often play games of chance and they've learned that sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Still, there is sometimes crying and sometimes quitting (and that's just me). But I'd rather have them do that at home in front of me and their mom now, rather than in front of a large group later in life which would add embarrassment to disappointment. Some kids still cry at 9 years old. Should we delay keeping score until they're 12 so they don't? How about 14? Pretty soon football players are losing their Homecoming game and bawling so hard they can't speak afterward, or soccer players will lose a state quarterfinal and cry their way off the field. Don't think it happens? Sure does, I've seen it myself from the sidelines. Before you e-mail to call me an unfeeling so-and-so, let me say I like Reilly and often agree with him. I think I'm as compassionate as the next guy, if not more. Heck, when Reilly solicited money for mosquito nets to protect children in Africa as they sleep, I sent a check, wondering how life can be so cruel to some kids in one part of the world while my boys sleep comfortably every night in their plush beds with blankets, pillows and toys overflowing onto the floor. Does it make me sad that the kid in the story has cancer? Yes, unbelievably so. It bothers me to no end to see children struggle with even the smallest of illnesses. But if the boy was healthy enough to play, he's healthy enough to strike out or drop a ball in the outfield. I hope that his parents explained that well enough to allow him to understand the possibilities. Is it fair? No. Baseball could be the most unfair sports there is. A batter can smack a solid line drive for an out, but bloop in a double. If you think your child is too young or too sick to deal with the fair/unfair issue, don't have them play baseball because there's nowhere to hide at bat and the ball seems to find those who can't catch in the field.

Marv Workout Nice to see him taking care of himself....

You Make the Decision This actually happened. Your job is to decide whether it should have. In a nine- and 10-year-old PONY league championship game in Bountiful, Utah, the Yankees lead the Red Sox by one run. The Sox are up in the bottom of the last inning, two outs, a runner on third. At the plate is the Sox' best hitter, a kid named Jordan. On deck is the Sox' worst hitter, a kid named Romney. He's a scrawny cancer survivor who has to take human growth hormone and has a shunt in his brain. So, you're the coach: Do you intentionally walk the star hitter so you can face the kid who can barely swing? -Interesting split on what people would do.....
