Dirk Chatelain Apologizes for Cheap Shots at Taylor Martinez
Just as the furor over Dirk Chatelain's "last chance" ultimatum to Taylor Martinez started to die down, the Omaha World-Herald reporter reopened debate with a partial apology for his article. Some of my words were too personal for a college athlete. Too harsh for a 21-year old. For example, in...
When the Media Fights With Bo Pelini, Everyone Loses
Much of the postgame discussions about Nebraska's thrilling 34-27 come-from-behind victory over Ohio State revolve around Bo Pelini's post-game press conference with Dirk Chatelain of the Omaha World-Herald.

The Mets Narratives: Apocalypse or Benny Hill
On Friday, Ken Rosenthal reported that Jose Reyes had met with feared uber-agent Scott Boras, presumably to discuss switching representation. This set in motion a series of events that seemed as if they were laboratory engineered just to anger me. They were also representative of how, far too...
Jim Tressel Resigns: Why He's Gone, What It Means
It's The Cover Up, Stupid As clear and serious a violation as was Jim Tressel's original course of action following the selling of memorabilia, his subsequent sins are the reason that as of this morning he is no longer the head coach at Ohio State. He made a big mistake, and he was going to pay a...
