Will The Final Round Draft Of Michael Sam Change History Forever?
I can’t think of any great male athlete who’s come out as gay, only a bunch of mediocre ones, such as Michael Sam. I don’t expect many great male athletes to be gay because great male athletes tend to be … Continue reading
The Fearsome Foursome
I thought I loved the NFL series, “A Football Life.” I loved, for instance, the episodes on Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson. Then I watched the one on Tim Tebow. It was lame. Next I watched one entitled, “The Fearsome … Continue reading

Even Rabbis Like Tim Tebow
I have never seen a phenomenon in sports like Tim Tebow. And that he is such a genuinely good person is a bonus. He reminds me a little bit of Steve Young who was the only professional athlete during my … Continue reading
Pimping Out Football Players To Rich Donors
I heard about this going on at UCLA when I was there in 1988-1989. I heard about the pimping out of black football players to rich boosters. This was talked about among the faculty and how little respect they had … Continue reading
I’m Ready For Some Football!
So I don’t feel guilty for wasting time on this goyisha entertainment, I only watch it while listening to some lofty book on CD or a Torah lecture or something else terribly high-brow. The football keeps me awake and the … Continue reading
