The Silly Season For Cubs And Congress, Richard C. Crepeau Jun 2000

The Silly Season For Cubs And Congress, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It could be the full moon again. Or perhaps silliness is now the norm. Whichever the case, two items caught my eye this week. First, the Chicago Cubs are talking about trading Sammy Sosa, and second the U.S. Congress is considering legislation to ban legal betting on college sports. Which is the sillier of the two? Medieval theologians could debate that for decades.

The Stanley Cup Final Has It All And Thensome, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It was one of the best events of the early summer. The finals of the NHL Playoffs, the Battle for Lord Stanley's Cup, hit high gear and produced two of the best games in any sport over recent months. Indeed the last two games were among the best ever.

Maurice Richard And The Canadian Psyche, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It's always difficult to think of Canada as a foreign country. I once went to Canada without a passport or any other legitimate documents for border identification. Oddly, only the U.S. authorities had a problem with that.


Ioc And Bribery - Bobby Knight And His Temper, Richard C. Crepeau May 2000

Ioc And Bribery - Bobby Knight And His Temper, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

This week there was a full moon an astronomical event with which strange occurrences often coincide. So perhaps it was no more than lunar destiny that produced a rash of tortuously argued and ludicrous decisions by alleged intelligent people. Or perhaps it was just another case of arrogant defenders of privilege rationalizing themselves silly.

The headline read, "Nike Cuts Off Funds for 3 Universities." This should surprise no one.

Coaching Methods Not For The Classroom - Ncaa And Reform Again, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

March Madness is long gone but College Basketball is still in the news and madness is still in the air. Robert Knight, tenured professor of basketball at Indiana University, has once again come under a cloud as questions have arisen about his teaching methods and his memory.

The Changing Face Of Spring Training In Florida, Richard C. Crepeau Apr 2000

The Changing Face Of Spring Training In Florida, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

As another baseball season begins and the optimism of spring training is quickly overtaken by reality, it occurs to me that spring training here in Florida has undergone vast changes over the past two decades and more may be on the way. I have now been going to spring training for thirty years, another reality with which I must deal, and it remains a special time for me and for the sport.

Baseball Around The World With Special Attention To Japan, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Baseball, the national pastime, has always had vast international ambitions. Around the world tours led by Albert Spalding, Japanese tours coming and going in both countries, and the grand Ruth-Gehrig tour to Japan in 1934, all speak to a long relationship between major league baseball and the world.

A Modest Proposal, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Has March Madness ever been madder or is it just me? Each year at this time I am amazed at the amount of media attention given to this multi-million dollar entertainment extravaganza produced by the NCAA. Each year at this time I am increasingly perplexed by how any of this might relate to the educational mission of an American university

Fantasy Sports Come In All Sizes And Shapes And Prices, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

With the opening of spring training camps and the arrival of the players in Florida we begin the season of hopes and dreams in baseball. Young players will dream of making the major league club, and older players will dream of World Series victories and large contracts to follow. For those lesser mortals among us there are other kinds of dreams created and manufactured for our pleasure.


New Life For Monday Night Football?, Richard C. Crepeau Mar 2000

New Life For Monday Night Football?, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The firing of Boomer Esiason as analyst for ABC's Monday Night Football seems to have caught a number of commentators and fans off-guard. Personally I have wondered why it took so long. That Al Michaels will not be heading out the door with Boomer should be the real surprise, but then Michaels is a golfing partner of Don Ohlmeyer who returns as the producer of Monday Night Football after a 23 year absence.

Initiation Rituals, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It is called the "elephant walk," an all male single-file procession in the nude in which all participants are connected in a chain by holding on to the penis of the person just behind. This is not a new sport, but it is a part of the sporting atmosphere in many male athletic settings. Most recently this charming ritual was in the news at the University of Vermont where the hockey season has come to an abrupt end.

The Sidney Olympics And Nbc's Bonanza, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Like all of you, I have been worrying a great deal lately about the future of Olympic Television Sponsorship. You can appreciate my relief this week when Dick Ebersol, The Sun King of NBC Sports, announced that his network was about to negotiate a new sponsorship arrangement with John Hancock, the company not the man, for the Sydney games.

Tiger Woods, Ken Griffey, And Tom Landry - Charles Schultz And Sport, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Three men, three stories, three sports, one early in his career, one at mid-career and one at the end of his life: Tiger Woods, Ken Griffey Jr., and Tom Landry. All three were in the news this week, and all three have made a heavy impact on their sports. On Saturday a fourth man joined the list.
