  • Congratulations to Barry Bonds, who broke Hank Aaron’s National League career homerun record on Saturday night. Given the Feds’ obsession with prosecuting Bonds for his alleged steroid use, little positive attention was given to the milestone by Major League Baseball or the sports media. Next year, Bonds should break Aaron’s overall homerun record by late July. Hopefully, he will get the respect he deserves.
  • Shout out to Temple University’s football team, which scored its first touchdown this weekend. Temple 7, Opponents 165. GO OWLS!!!!!!!!!!
  • On Sunday, Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey said that his team lost because they were “outcoached.” I can’t help but wonder what would happen if Terrell Owens had made the same comment.
  • Now that Toni Kukoc seems set to retire from the NBA, who holds the “Danny Ferry/Jeff Ruland/Christian Laettner” award for the most disappointing Great White Hope in the league?
  • Maurice Clarrett, who was sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison for aggrabated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon, has asked to be placed in a prison with appropriate fitness equipment. Apparently, he wants to remain in football shape so that he can mount a comeback after his likely release after 3 1/2 years. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
  • The NHL regular season is set to begin soon. Does anyone care?

Lots of people care about hockey. If you don’t, why mention it?

Yes I care but my feelings are of hatred for the game. I’m feverishly anticipating the coming basketball season and thankfully have the NFL to hold me over.

P.S. ting is right, Temple sux. Let’s not forget about their 9-3 loss to Buffalo though Marc. You can’t slip that by us

I have mixed feeling on the SuperDome thing. I dont know if i can go back to a building where people lost their lives, got raped, and lord knows what else happened there. I do understand the idea of boosting moral for the city but, i dont see how 30 thousand people who stood inside and in front of this building for days starving to death, watching people die, etc, would be flocking back to it for a game.

Marc, I thought the EXACT SAME THING last night when I saw a tape of Shockey saying his team had been outcoached! We KNOW what would’ve happened if T.O. had said the same thing. The comment would’ve made national headlines, ESPN commentators like Sean Salisbury would’ve been on the air all week talking about the evil of Terrell Owens. Skip Bayless would’ve published a book about how destructive T.O. is to his team.

A few years ago at Candlestick Park, Shockey threw a cup of ice at a young kid in the stands who had taunted him. T.O. has never done anything close to that but guess who’s the bad guy in this bunch according to the white sports media?

The story about Maurice Clarett is just sad. I only hope he can salvage what’s left of his life once he gets out of prison for his daughter’s sake.
