Cbs And The Ncaa Lovefest, Richard C. Crepeau
Cbs And The Ncaa Lovefest, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
This year it's the Road to Seattle. And as usual the Road goes through CBS television in New York because in 1989 CBS paid the NCAA $1B(or $143M per year) to guarantee their right to televise all-rounds of the NCAA tournament to the entire nation for seven years. That translated almost immediately into an increase of $30M in annual revenues for CBS, a bonanza of profits for the NCAA, and in 1990 $1.37M for each of the final four teams. Basketball's Final Four is the biggest money machine owned by the NCAA.

The Two Michaels: Jordan And Tyson, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It may or may not be the best of times or the worst of times, but it is a Tale of Two Michaels. This week marks the return of the two Michaels, Jordan and Tyson, to the spotlight in sportsworld. The return of either one would be a major story, but the return of both in one week is a bonanza. The two Michaels also offer two very different stories of departure and return, and no doubt both evoke a wide range of emotions.
"Cobb" Flim Review, Richard C. Crepeau
"Cobb" Flim Review, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Was he the greatest ballplayer of all time? He thought so and told everyone who would and would not listen that he was. In the first voting for entrance into the Hall of Fame Ty Cobb out-polled all his rivals. Ernest Hemmingway thought so, calling him "the greatest of all ballplayers-and an absolute shit." In the film "Cobb" starring Tommy Lee Jones the later part of Hemmingway's assessment of the Georgia Peach is illustrated better than the former.

Major League Madness - The Iditarod, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Have you Atlanta Braves fans noticed how well Krause is doing at shortstop? Did anyone see the box from the Mets-Yankees game last Sunday? What a line-up! They say that Newman may be the new DiMaggio, and that Jensen might be the new Seaver. And boy don't those San Francisco Giants look tough again this year with Ortman in center and Morrow in right? And of course the Blue Jays are still the defending World Champions, and they look like they are loaded with new talent. And even if they win it all, the World Championship will still come south …

As NBA season's go, we're just about at the halfway point and the Orlando Magic are riding high. In number of regular season games over half the season has passed, but in real terms the NBA year is subdivided into four seasons, and the second is just concluding.

Baseball And Replacement Players Don't Mix, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
If it's true that if you want to understand America you must understand baseball, we could be in big trouble as no one seems to understand the nonsense that is developing in spring training the past few weeks. On the other hand if baseball is a mirror of American culture, what we see in that mirror today cannot be reassuring.

Over the past two weeks two major sports figures of the Twentieth Century have died. On February 2, Fred Perry died in Melbourne, Australia at age 85, and ten days later on February 12, Nat Holman died in the Bronx at age 98. Both men made major contributions to their sports.

It was just over a year ago that NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman fired the first shot of the recently concluded hockey war. On January 12, 1994 Bettman notified the players that the owners opening proposal would have a salary structure with a limited amount of compensation. The players flatly rejected anything resembling a salary cap.

It is unusual that a documentary would be named as movie of the year. It is astounding when the subject of the film of the year is sport. Both have occurred and starting tonight you can see "Hoop Dreams" at the Enzian Theater in Maitland.

Orlando Gets Hockey But Not Nhl Hockey, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
When the announcement came a little over a week ago The Orlando Sentinel fell over itself like the lapdog it has become for the Orlando Magic and the DeVoss family. It was of course the major news that Orlando was about to get a hockey team in the International Hockey League, and the city was about to facilitate the process with another sweetheart contract with the family DeVoss for use of the O-Arena.

The City of Orlando and designated majority owner Norton Herrick are scheduled to make their presentation of Orlando's case for major league baseball on Wednesday of next week. So it might be a good time to make an assessment of Orlando's chances for getting a team.

Monday Night Football's 25th Anniversary, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It is the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of Monday Night Football. The other networks laughed when ABC announced it was going to take NFL football into prime time. Who would watch? By Monday everyone was suffering from football burnout what with the College games on Saturday, and the double network double headers on Sunday. It just wouldn't work.

How long has it been now? Two months. Three months. Does anyone remember exactly when the baseball strike began? For the record it was August 12, 1994, some three months and a week ago. Then in early September came word that the season was gone, and the playoffs and World Series were down the drain.

Cheeseburgers. Ben Gay. Maalox. The George Foreman Trinity. On Saturday Night November 5, 1994, George Foreman at age 45 won the Heavyweight Championship of the World. Was it a blow against ageism? Or was it just one more indication that the world of heavyweight boxing was heading down the road to the World Wrestling Federation?

No World Series: Revisit 1991, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
This should have been the week that the 1994 World Series came to an end. Instead we can all read on a daily basis that the only baseball action is off the field with general managers and managers being fired and hired, players released, and the two sides in the labor dispute seldom even meeting with one another.

It was about 4:30 on Saturday Afternoon. ABC television and the local affiliate Channel Nine was showing the Michigan-Penn State game as a footnote to the Gator loss. Then suddenly there was a Channel Nine Special Report. Had Aristide been assassinated as he arrived in Haiti or had Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait? Neither. This was a much more serious matter.

The National Football League is celebrating its 75th Anniversary this season, and unlike the alleged 125th Anniversary of Baseball, this anniversary has some basis in history. First named the American Football Association and founded in 1920 by sportswriter Joseph Carr, the league changed its name to the National Football League in 1922.
