    Fantastic piece on a heartbreaking tale

    Big_Space, at this point I would argue it's not a political pissing match to say the results of this war are, with minute exception, tragic. This story only illustrates such. I am a registered Republican who voted for Bush the first time, and not a day goes by that I don't regret it.

    Fantastic piece on a heartbreaking tale

    I am so damn sick of this war and what it's doing to people—I really can't stand it. Facts are facts: This was the biggest military blunder in US history, and the thousands upon thousands of ruined lives are directly—and forever—linked to this administration. I wouldn't care if this was JFK...

    Gym'Backs shoot Tigers down, take second conference win By Jenna Salkin Last week, the UA gymnastics team faced a Southeastern Conference opponent not in the top three in the nation. They got a break again this weekend in Alabama as the No. 12 Arkansas Gym'Backs [5-10, 2-4 SEC] defeated the...

    Finally someone at ESPN with a rational take on the Amechie non-story

    Here's my problem: Disapporving of homosexuality is no different than disapproving of, say, mixed marriages or Jews in public school or anything of the sort. Just because one relies on the bible as his moral code doesn't mean that moral code isn't hateful and wrongheaded. I thought Chris wrote a...

    End of Saban/Herald/Radio story

    RE: The only problem I have with that apology, though, is it was only made where his station broadcasts. If he would have commented to the newspaper, then it would have been picked up and more people would know about it. But at least he apologized and seemed sincere. It takes a man to admit he's...

    what's your stand on gay adoption?

    I always think it's sad to hear opponents of gay adoption question whether such a practice might (Oh my God!) result in gay children. The question that, unfortunately, is rarely asked is: So what? So what if the kids turns out to be gay? So what if anyone is gay? Why is heterosexual "better"...

    Bush: OK, I've got a plan. No, this one will work, honest.

    I thought Andrew Sullivan wrote well on this: (Bush) will do what he wants, of course. Even if the bulk of his own party balks, along with the Democrats. Even if the casualties mount, and the civil war intensifies. Even if failure becomes more and more entrenched. The logic of his speech is...

    SI Sportsman of the Year

    Can someone please explain to me how Roger Federer doesn't win this? I mean, Wade is a great basketball player. But Federer had a legendary year.

    Sharon Pannozzo is out

    I have no reason to believe that, away from baseball, she wasn't a good person. But at work she was cold, indifferent, easily agitated and--worst of all--completely unhelpful. For the past few years I've dreaded doing anything Cubs-related, because I knew I'd have to find a way to work AROUND...

    We're eliminating your job! But first, have a milkshake

    True story. I have a relative who works at TV Guide. The other day they laid off a bunch of longtime editors, then followed it up with Milkshake Day at the office to make the staff feel better. To me, that sums up so much about today's corporate media world.

    Story of the year so far?

    Eli, it's a nice story. I just think it's sort of lame to call your own story "story of the year."
