Is there some way we can extort Wilf into drafting Manziel? This is so obviously the right move that there is no possible way that it will happen.

Also relevant, THEY NAMED THEIR LAW LIBRARY AFTER HIM!

It's also worth mentioning how Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American Supreme Court Justice and a Baltimore native, was rejected by the University of Maryland School of Law due to segregationist policies. Then he went to Howard University, became a lawyer, then argued Brown v. Board of Education, and won the…

I was a student at Syracuse when they retired Sidat-Singh's jersey. I don't know if it was being myopic and 20-years-old or if the local media didn't cover the entire issue, but I never knew about this Maryland game or the segregation he faced on the Syracuse campus. Thanks for telling an important story.

His tongue looks like the Eye of Sauron

I cannot fathom how, after being treated the way he was and knowing how his country valued him, Sidat-Sing still felt compelled to fight and die for the US. It demonstrates a depth of conviction that I simply don't possess and can't even understand.

Great piece, nicely written.

Jesus, this is beautiful writing, and such a heartbreaking story. Finally, what the fuck was wrong with people in America at this point in time?

World War I was still being fought the last time they won. Not a single soldier who fought in that awful war is still with us today.

Yeah both the '87 and '91 World Series's were classics. Just great baseball, lots of drama, controversy, and fun teams. But, whatever, gotta have the Washington Nationals and Tampa Bay Rays on there.

Not only is there not a 1991 WS reference there isn't a single reference to the Minnesota Twins, their stadium or the amazing call, "and we'll see you, tomorrow night." RIP Jack Buck.

When did Brian McCann get hired to the NFL Competition Committee?

I'm actually OK with this, and consider it to be taunting the taunter. We still may get to see a guy taunt it up, but then what's funnier and more entertaining then the ensuing hysterics of the coach yelling at him? When a dude drops the ball before the endzone in stupid celebration, that gets more attention than a…

Cool, but nothing from the 1991 World Series? That's where I get the pictures and videos I need to erase the image of a piano box sized Kirby Puckett, sexually assaulting a woman in a bathroom, out of my head.

This is the face of a woman who was praying all the way to the game that his sign would not catch a cameraman's attention.

This feels like a tribute video after some sort of tragedy. But it isn't... Right?

Damn you. But you're right. +1

And as an American who's never lived in New York City, I'm amused at the lack of knowledge New Yorkers have about everything outside the boroughs. But that's evened out by the abundance of annoying arrogance and love of Red Sox-Yankee telecasts.

I don't know why this is bothering me, but can we stop the charade of calling college football players "student athletes"? I know there are some exceptions, but it's pretty clear that most of them aren't in it for the education. UC-Berkeley is perhaps the best public university in the country and I guarantee you that…
