Tiger Woods Is God: Check The Website, Richard C. Crepeau
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
On Sport and Society
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?

Freedom Of The Press And Sports: Not Always, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
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.

The Death Of Dale Earnhardt, Richard C. Crepeau

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.

The comeback of Mario Lemieux with the Pittsburgh Penguins has converged very nicely with that of Jennifer Capriati. In the past week Capriati completed her long climb back to the top of women's tennis, and in the middle of his latest comeback Lemieux was voted NHL player of the month for January.

Super Bowl Xxxv And Its Excesses, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
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.

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.

Over the past several days much has been written about the graduation of Shaquille O'Neal from Louisiana State University. 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.

Money And Baseball: The Salaries Keep Rising, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
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.

The Significance Of The Kicker In American And European Football, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
One of the primary objectives in sport is to win. In American sport winning is too often the only thing. Coaches spend sixteen to eighteen-hour days in seven-day weeks searching for all those little keys to victory that are necessary to success. Owners too spend time, energy and especially dollars in the great quest for the glory that comes with winning.

This past week Mike Mussina signed with the New York Yankees for $88.5M over six-year period with $12M of that a signing bonus to be spread over the contract at $2M per year. Next year Mussina will make $10M pitching for the Yankees. Considered by many to be one of the best pitchers in all of baseball, Mussina gives the Yankees a formidable starting rotation, and this has already led some to concede next year's World Championship to them. This might be a bit premature for early December but it is difficult to deny that they are the clear early …

It might have been just one more of the endless stream of National Hockey League games that attract little attention before January. It was a 3-2 final with Federov scoring the winner with 28 seconds left on the clock. This one, however, was special as it marked a milestone for one of the greatest professional coaches of any sport in any time. Scotty Bowman, currently the coach of the Detroit Red Wings, was behind the bench in his 2,000th NHL game on Friday night as Detroit beat Vancouver.

(As with all American traditions if it happened once or twice it is one, and therefore I present my traditional Thanksgiving piece) The History of Thanksgiving and of Football both go back into the Middle Ages, and so it may not be so strange that the two would become intertwined in modern America.

Now that the state of Florida has released its incompetence and corruption from behind the facade of palm trees and beautiful beaches the true story behind the voting at the BCS can be told. The same people who control the voting in Palm Beach County, and indeed those who exercise the imprecise art of counting in Florida, are the same people who control the mysterious BCS voting on college football.

Outsourcing Collegiate Sports, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
In some places it's called "privatizing." Here in Florida it is called "outsourcing." Over the past few years a number of campus functions have been "outsourced." The most recent example on our campus is the bookstore, which was outsourced to Barnes and Noble, a company that seemed better equipped than the university to run a bookstore. And probably they are.

As we move toward the inevitability of an all-New York World Series, we are stalked by the prospect of having to listen to the incessant proclamations that New York is the center of the baseball universe, not to mention the regular universe. We will also be subjected to the claims that baseball fans in New York are more a) knowledgeable b) loyal c) intense d) all of the above, than those in other parts of the known baseball universe.
