GB 30, DET 21THIS WAS MORE THAN WE COULD — URP! — STOMACH
GREEN BAY, Wis. — After watching our beloved football team spend another day falling further behind the Tampa Bay Bucs, I am moved to make many points. One concerns the punting, but as soon as I think about that, my stomach begins to growl and I need to get some...
March Has A Point, And Critics Do, Too
When 80,000 mostly white, Christian men rallied at the Silverdome to pledge their family values, nobody complained.
But when a few dozen white men marched in Skokie, Ill., there was national outrage. The difference? Those men were Nazis.
Here is my point: It’s not numbers or color that necessarily frighten people. It’s hatred. Hatred that might be directed back at them.
LIONS OVERDUE IN GREEN BAY
* Detroit 20, Green Bay 19: I know, I know. They always lose in Green Bay. They can’t play on grass. Barry gets stomped. I know all that. I also knew that Cleveland would never make the World Series, and look how that’s turning out. Pick vs. spread:...
O.J. Interview A Sign Of Our Society’S Ills
O.J. Simpson had nine months to tell his story. He didn’t speak. His lawyers said, “We can’t risk it.” So he sat silent during his trial, as experts suggested he killed his ex-wife and her friend in cold blood. He sat silent, and he won his freedom. And after the verdict, one of his lawyers admitted,
“Had he talked, one mistake would have ruined him.”
So You Think Everything Went Right, Guys? Wrong!
It is not my place, as someone who can barely tackle my dog, to tell Wayne Fontes what he should do with a football team that just crushed the Cleveland Browns like a tortilla.
But I’ll do it anyhow.
He should chew them out.
Not terribly. Just enough to correct some mistakes that were made in Sunday’s otherwise glorious afternoon of indoor football. You may think this is nasty. You may think my timing is wrong. But I remember a certain Pistons coach with neatly coiffed hair who said the time to get after your team is when things are going well.
SURF’S UP! WHERE’S MY NEHRU JACKET?
Well, I have done it. I have talked to a screen. It was not very sexy. It was not very long. But I did it. And I feel . . . modern.Which is not always a good thing. I felt modern when I wore my first Nehru jacket. I felt modern when I purchased Donna Summer’s...
Ac Retires As The Only True No. 1 In These Parts
Wherever you go in football, fans stick up their fingers and yell, “We’re No. 1.” They wave at TV cameras, at passing cars, at each other. Over and over. Their favorite digit, high in the air. “We’re No. 1!”
Nobody Wins Amid Simpson Trial Anguish
A woman wept. Her sobs echoed through the courtroom, distracting you like someone coughing during a movie. Her voice, raw and broken, cried as the first
After 17 Years As Tigers Manager,It’S Time To Say So Long Sparkyol’ Silver Hair Departs Amid A B
BALTIMORE — He arrived for his last game hours before the first pitch, early Sunday morning, as the fog was breaking up and most people were still in church. He removed his clothes in stages, hanging up his gray sports coat, followed by the tie and the shoes. He pulled his baseball shirt over his dark slacks and socks, and he sat down that way, half-man, half- manager, munching a doughnut and holding the omnipresent cup of black coffee, part of the reason his hands now tremble like a nervous safecracker. The other reason is that he is 61 years old.
