After reading the comments on this board about Trump's support of torture of captured terrorists, the majority opinion is that you don't care because the torture will be of terrorists, and either (A) they deserve it, or (B) we just might learn something useful after the torture, and maybe, just mayb...

Tragic. It's hard to read about a man this age losing all the life still ahead of him. Sending prayers to the Vanderbilt family. ...

Michael Mauti, a man of character

Posted by ElleEsseYou on 10/17/15 at 6:18 am
If you want to know more about Michael Mauti as a college player, I recommend "Fourth and Long, the battle for the soul of college football." Mauti was a senior for Penn State football in the season after Coach Paterno resigned/forced out. The book examines four teams in that turbulent season, but...
I just saw American Sniper on HBO. And I've just rewatched The Hurt Locker (Netflix). Both movies had scenes that dealt with the main character of the movie putting other soldiers in harm's way, by their actions. And both dealt with the soldier who loves the war and doesn't want to return home. An...

Les's friendship for this boy is just what I've come to expect of Les, the man. So proud and happy that this young man came to Tiger Stadium as Les Miles' guest. The cancer that struck this young man is osteosarcoma. Sarcoma strikes the young in distressingly large numbers. If you can, give to h...

I have read the book. Twice. I first heard about it on an NPR interview, which discussed how the book is hard science fiction, meaning that much of the movie relies on science known to us now (as opposed to science fiction). I've watched all the trailers and I am excited for the film's release (Oc...
I'm one of those sick, old guys (but not overweight) whose tickets have been in the family a long time. I have great tickets, but I'm thinking the 'Thrill is gone.' Today's Tiger Stadium is rarely loud. And the Stadium experience is ruined (let me repeat, RUINED) by the piped in electro/techno crap....
