Ruminating On The U.S. Open Tennis Championships, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Looking back to the first radio commentary I did six years ago, the subject was the U.S. Open Tennis Championships where the stellar performance that year by Jimmy Connors, especially in his late night match against Patrick McEnroe, was such a contrast with the sorry performance by the over hyped Andre Agassi. Connors has since moved on to the seniors tour while Agassi's career remains largely the story of the failure to live up to the hype and the potential.

All the color and pageantry of college football is about to be unleashed on us again, along with all the NCAA public relations machinery designed to tell us how important college sports have been in building character in modern America. What we won't hear discussed in those NCAA halftime promotional spots will be the details of fraud in Pell Grants, the federal aid program for needy college students.

On Sport and Society
While sitting and waiting for the National Rifle Association to intervene on behalf of Barry Switzer and Alan Iverson, and contemplating Greg Maddox signing for 11.5 million dollars per year, and Kevin Garnett turning down 17 million dollars per year and demanding 22.5, I tried to concentrate on the more important issues. For example, will Bud Selig ever leave the commissioner's office while still breathing, and, what do I think about radical realignment in baseball?

The Sporting News named Michael Eisner the fifth most powerful figure in sports this past year a position that seems a little low to me, but then Disney is still a novice in SportsWorld. The Disney Sports Empire is growing, and one of the newest parts of that empire is located here in Orlando at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex.

In a week in which I could choose to talk of Ben Hogan or Don Shula, I find myself compelled towards one of the best known men in baseball over the past twenty years, Tommy Lasorda, who will be inducted into the manager's wing at Cooperstown on Sunday. Nellie Fox, Phil Niekro, and Willie Wells will also be honored. The fourteenth manager and the fifteenth Dodger honored, this man, who has been considered one of baseball's great ambassadors over the past twenty years, is an overwhelming fan's choice for a spot at Cooperstown.

On Sport and Society
About two weeks ago The Orlando Sentinel ran an interesting story about a young man named Jason Williams who, according to all reports, could become the best point guard in the history of the basketball program at the University of Florida. There is only one small problem: "I hate school. I hate it so much I can't stand it," says Williams. Certainly this is a view that is shared by many young men and women, some of whom for a multitude of reasons end up in classrooms at universities around the country.

It was Monday the 30th of June. I had just spent the morning at the Vatican Museum, the final stop of which is at the Sistine Chapel, considered by some to be the penultimate work of art in the history of the western world. To stand in that large room and absorb the work of Michelangelo, even among the crush and din of the tourists, is one of the great experiences of a lifetime. You leave with a feeling that there is indeed something of the divine within the human spirit which Michelangelo has managed to capture on the walls …

There is the old, and the new old, more stylishly termed the retro. We're talking ballparks, major league ballparks. Over the past few weeks I had the pleasure of being at one of the very oldest, Fenway Park in Boston, and the newest of the new old parks, "The Ted" in Atlanta.

Twenty-five years ago Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 mandated that women not be discriminated against in any educational institution receiving federal funds. Although Title IX does not mention sport specifically it is clear that sport is one of those activities covered. When you see the hype being generated by the arrival of the WNBA, you might think that Title IX has been a major success. It has not.

Now that the Michael Jordan Invitational Tournament has ended it might be a good time to look at some of the highlights of both the NBA and NHL playoffs. Once again Michael set new standards of performance, and once again he proved how important he is to the Bulls' success. Twice during the finals he took games away from the Jazz, once with a buzzer-beater and once with a performance that has extended the Michael legend to another level. The buzzer beaters have happened so often that they are nearly yawners, and in fact the pass to Steve Kerr at …
