The Baseball Strike And The Issues, Richard C. Crepeau
The Baseball Strike And The Issues, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
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.

George Foreman - The Breeder's Cup - Lou Holtz And Notre Dame Poor Winners, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
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?
Monday Night Football, Richard C. Crepeau
Monday Night Football, 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.

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.

Hardaway, The Magic, And The Orlando Media, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
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.

A Brief History Of The Nfl, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
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.

This should be the first weekend of the first ever baseball playoffs involving three division winners and one wildcard team from each league. It also should be the end of the first week of the new hockey season.

After eighteen and a half hours of baseball from Ken Burns it may be foolish to try offer some observations on this work in just under five minutes but I'll try.

Grant's Contract In Jeopardy- Nfl Loses In Court- Hockey And Baseball Lockouts, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It was just a few short months ago that Pat Williams glibly assured the Orlando public that the signing of Horace Grant to a contract that clearly circumvented the NBA salary cap was not a problem. "We have very clever lawyers," said Williams, "at one glance they can tell the difference between an oral and a written contract." But could they tell the difference between a cap and a strap?

Football Spending In Florida Universities - Pell Grant Fraud Not Only At Miami, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Fall is in the air, if you live 400 miles north of here, and all the color and pageantry of college football has returned, as they say on the TV networks. The Bands have hit the fields, the boosters have opened their wallets, and college presidents are doing what they do best, giving pep talks to their scholar athletes.

Tennis In Decline In The 90'S, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The U.S. Open Tennis Championships began its two-week run in New York on Monday. Most of the big names of the past two decades are gone. On the women's side Martina Navratolova is in semi-retirement, Monica Seles has never come back from the knifing of a year and a half ago, and earlier stars like Chris Everet and Billie Jean King are long since departed. On the men's side Jimmy Connors, the long-time mainstay of New York bad-manners-tennis has packed it in, while the great McEnroe-Connors, and McEnroe-Borg rivalries are history while Johnny Mac is now doing TV commentary.

Is Beach Volleyball destined to become the Sport of the 90's? Have you seen enough of this thing? Watching National League pitchers strike-out was more exciting than this.

Grant Contract - New Coach? - Baseball Hof, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
For the Orlando Magic it looked like the biggest development since the signing of the Shaq. To be able to pick up Horace Grant as a free agent without giving up Dennis Scott on waivers, and only losing Scott Skiles and a first round pick in 1996 is truly amazing. John Gabriel, or whoever engineered this deal, seemed on the way to canonization, having performed a certifiable miracle.

Sports Are Different Here - An American In Europe During World Cup, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It's odd when you leave the United States and go off for a vacation and have very little contact with the sports scene for over three weeks. Baseball, which is a daily obsession nearly disappears from your life, with only an occasional glimpse at scores in the international Herald Tribune or USA Today, and a few highlights hear and there on CNN.

It has been a wild and crazy several weeks of sport while WUCF has been off the air to increase power, and over the next few weeks I will try to catch up on some of the notable action. The Stanley Cup and NBA Finals have concluded, the World Cup has moved to center stage, the Baseball All-Star game is approaching and so apparently is a strike, Wimbledon is approaching its climax, stories of corruption continue to flow off the college campuses in Tallahassee and Miami, Evander Hollifield has been cured of heart problems by an Orlando faith-healer, and O.J. …

There were times when I thought I was watching the World Wrestling Federation. All that was missing was a gold lamay cape worn by Patrick Ewing, cowboy boots and stetson for Charles Oakley, or designer trunks with matching shoes for John Starks. As for Pat Riley he has always looked the part.
Baseball's All-Star Game, Richard C. Crepeau
Baseball's All-Star Game, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Baseball's All-Star Game is coming up on Tuesday in Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium, one of the old style cookie-cutter ballparks of the early 60's. Although the concept of an All-Star game dates back to 1858 and a game between all-star teams from Brooklyn and New York, it was sixty-one years ago that the first modern all-star game was held, July 6, 1933.

As the station went off the air to increase power one of the biggest stories in college sport was coming out of Tallahassee by way of Sports Illustrated. It was not the swimsuit issue, but Florida State University must have felt nearly naked as the story of players taking payoffs from agents became public.

The biggest story in the world of sport this past week was not the abrupt and quick end of the Orlando Magic season, although clearly in Central Florida it was and continues to be the biggest topic of conversation among sports fans. It is a story clearly worth some comment and I will return to it at a later date.

In one of the most interesting and bizarre pieces of American literature featuring a president of the United States, Robert Coover in "Whatever Happened to Gloomy Gus of the Chicago Bears?" draws a picture of the late 37th President of the United States that has become a classic of presidential portraiture.

City Of Orlando The Magic Contract And Al Davis' Desires, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Is there a sinister force stalking Orlando? Are the taxpayers of the city about to be relieved of some of their excess cash? Are the citizens of Orlando ready to turn over $30M to $40M to Al Davis along with a piece of real estate, and another $4M to the DeVos clan? These indeed are worthy charities, and the people of Orlando through their representatives should support these charitable enterprises. Orlando has long been noted for its support of public welfare for the worthy, the oppressed and the downtroden.

For the past six weeks or so I have been looking with some curiosity at the patch being worn by major league baseball players this season. It is the logo of major league baseball with an inscription reading "125th Anniversary."

Wayne Gretzky, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
This past week Wayne Gretzky became the career scoring leader in the National Hockey League. For fifteen seasons now The Great One has been the dominant figure in hockey and in sport. But to call him The Great One is to grossly understate his significance. Wayne Gretzky holds sixty NHL records and now has added one more to the list, as he has broken Gordie Howe's record in over 600 less games, and eleven fewer seasons than Howe.
Jimmy Johnson, Richard C. Crepeau
Jimmy Johnson, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It was a week to remember in Dallas. Even by Texas standards this story was as big and slimy as they come. Jimmy Johnson was gone, Barry Switzer had arrived, and Jerry Jones had just swapped the two biggest egos in football coaching for one another. Proving in the process that he has the biggest ego of all. Not to mention the most power.

Baseball's New Landscape: Playoff Structure, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
In a week when those looking for signs of the end of the world saw Jimmy Johnson leave Dallas and the Gators make the final four, major league baseball also presents a new face. The 1994 season opens with three divisions in each league, producing three divisional champions, plus one wild card team, and an extra tier of playoffs. The compelling force in this change is television, which can only make money on playoffs and the World Series and loses money during the regular season.

The Big Dance. The Road to Charlotte. The Road to the Final Four. March Madness. All those colorful names created by the people at CBS, for what is in fact the Big Paycheck, the road to the bank, recruiting madness, and the road to the final corruption of college sport.

There is no other time like it in sport. Spring training in Florida is a dream, a fantasy, and a time of eternal optimism. It is a dream for all those caught in the endless winter trying to become spring. And it is a dream for all those players at every level of the game trying to start or consummate the march to the majors.
