Wwjs What Would Jesus Sell (For Sports), Richard C. Crepeau

In a recent interview Deion Sanders, the guru of Jesus jocks, said that he doesn't see how he could have sports in his life without religion. "They go together like peanut butter and jelly."

Origins Of Baseball Revealed - Trying To Speed Up The Game, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The heat and humidity of late July is sending me slouching towards the Dog Days of August. The dread miasma is creeping in from the swamps and the vapors hang in the saturated night air. The tropics of Central Florida drain your energy and create hallucinatory conditions. Some days it's so bad that not a creature is stirring not even The Mouse.
Knight Commission: Another Futile Attempt To Reform College Athletics, Richard C. Crepeau
Knight Commission: Another Futile Attempt To Reform College Athletics, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Once again the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics has issued a call for reform. As was the case with the Jeremiad Sermons of the 17th Century Puritans, the call for reform has become a ritual whose primary function is to cleanse the sinner so that they might go forth and sin again. Any real prospect of reform and change is as remote in intercollegiate athletics today as it was for the debauched sinners in the Massachusetts of the Mathers. Or as they used to say in rural America, the horse has long since left the barn.

Baseball's All-Star Game is coming up Tuesday at Safeco Field in Seattle, one of the newest, and by most accounts one of the most beautiful of the new stadiums: "The House that Junior and A-Rod Built" before they left town.

On Sport and Society
Over a decade ago Rob Sheinkopf and I examined Eddie Scissons Syndrome and its many manifestations in American society. This piece was published in Aethlon: The Journal of Sport Literature, after having been presented at a meeting of the Sport Literature Association in Florence, Oregon. A little over a week ago Rob offered an update of this peculiarity of human folly at the SLA meeting in Johnson City.

Tiger Woods Is God: Check The Website, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Quick, tell me the name of the golfer who won the U.S. Open last week. Now which golfer didn't win? If you are like most casual golf watchers you couldn't name the winner, but you knew that Tiger Woods did not win. My guess is that you could not name either of the players who were in the Monday playoff. And furthermore, like much of the rest of America, you did not watch the final round of the tournament on Sunday, nor the Monday playoff.

Hockey Night In Orlando: The End For The Ihl, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Whenever I went off to see the Solar Bears of the International Hockey League in the O-rena, I liked to think of it as "Hockey Night in Orlando." With much fanfare and enthusiasm the Orlando Solar Bears opened play in the IHL six seasons ago. Two weeks ago they won the Turner Cup signifying the championship of the IHL. A few days later the IHL was out of business, and then two days ago the Solar Bears announced their exit from the scene.

Homosexuality And Sport, Richard C. Crepeau

It was not a big story but it did set the sports talk shows buzzing for a few days and some print was expended on it. Brendon Lemon, editor of Out magazine let it be known that he has been involved in an affair with a major league baseball player, and that he just might reveal the identity of that player. Lemon said he was tired of the strain that this secret corner of his life was taking on him and his lover.

By all accounts it was a normal day at the Minneapolis Public Library. Nothing out of the ordinary seemed in the air. Then suddenly there was shouting, a shower of obscenities, and a general ruckus over in one crowded section of the main reading room. No, Governor Ventura had not arrived.

Sound Pollution, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
When I returned from the O-rena and the Magic NBA Playoff game last night I had a headache. Maybe it was a bad Pepsi, maybe the pounding the Bucks put on the Magic, or maybe it was the decibel levels of noise that once again assaulted my very being. I'm not talking about the screaming of the fans, but about the loud thumping music, the pounding of the bass, and the inane booming "voice of banality" that is the arena announcer.

Nba And Nhl Playoffs - Return Of Baseball, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
For the fan of professional sport it is a wonderful time of year with a cornucopia of marvelous events on the airwaves. The NHL playoffs are underway, the NBA playoffs are off and running, and the eternal hope of spring has been let loose with the opening month of baseball season. Even the Cubs are pennant contenders. It's all a reminder that for everything else blotting the landscape of sport, the game is still the thing.

Hasim Rahman is the new heavyweight champion of the boxing world, or at least that part of the boxing world governed by the IBF and WBC, whoever or whatever they may be. The only relevant questions here are: what does this mean for Don King? Who is Hasim Rahman? And where is Mike Tyson?

In two cases in the last few weeks the power of sport to move politicians has been on display. In the process the notion that sport is a promoter of democracy and a teacher of civic involvement and responsibility has been dealt a severe blow.

It was Tuesday of last week when a colleague stopped me to say that he was distressed that he couldn't find any Earnhardt coverage in the media here in Orlando. Preoccupied with other matters I was a bit slow on the uptake, but then realized that he was joking.

In the History of Orlando in the period AD(After Disney) there have been two public projects that have been done exceptionally well. The first is the Crown Jewel of the region, Orlando International Airport. The second is the OArena, which now carries the corporate name, TGIF Waterbug Centre, or some such thing.

In a world in which the Disney Corporation makes a calculated decision not to honor Super Bowl MVP Ray Lewis with a trip to Disney World only to have Mark Chumura announce that he is going to Disney World to celebrate his escape of prison time for his hot tub romp with high school girls on prom night, one is left to ponder what the XFL will need to do to reach a public satiated with sleaze.

Is there anyone alive in the United States today who does not know that the Super Bowl is coming up on Sunday? It is Super Bowl XXXV, thirty-five in real numbers, and will be played in Tampa. One can only wonder if we will see the designation "Super Bowl L" or "Super Bowl C" or if they will be considered too timid in Logo Land. But I digress.

On Sport and Society
The death of Marty Glickman last week brought back a number of memories. In and around the New York area people recalled Glickman as voice of the Knicks and any number of other teams on New York radio sports. Across the nation, and indeed perhaps even across the world, Glickman's death brought back memories of the 1936 Olympic Games and the horror of Hitler's final solution. The latter was without a doubt more significant as it affected sport as well as the course of world history.

This study focuses on the Malay newspapers in Sarawak. Its main focus is on Fajar Sarawak and Utusan ASAS. Its aim is to have an in-depth study on the main issues highlighted by Fajar Sarawak and Utusan ASAS. The foundation, background and closing down of the newspapers are also being discussed. The growth of the local newspapers from 1870-1950 is also being touched on. This includes the circulation of foreign newspapers into Sarawak.

Well, you could have bowled me over with a feather, or perhaps a dot com, when I learned today that four bowl games had already been played. Not exactly stellar match- ups, but bowl games nonetheless. And say what you will; a bowl game is still a bowl game.

Indeed the event has been the butt of many jokes, one of which Shaq generated himself when he told people he was working on his degree at Learn Slow University. He now says that LSU means Love Shaq University.

It was the late Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen of Illinois who once said, "a billion here, a billion there, pretty soon were talking about real money." This quaint observation came to mind over the past few days in baseball as it was "a few million here, a few million there." One wonders if we are now talking about real money.
