freightcane,
Thank you for the input on the picture.
In reference to the rest of your comment, do you not realize that this post was written some 9 months ago in February 2007?

Nice picture of Willie Williams, ex-Cane/UL Cardinal, not Sean Taylor. Get it right, have some respect for a life lost and quit generalizing!

I’m kind of at a loss as to why things seme a little cool right now between Steinberg and the Caps locker room. Things seemed great up through the new year. Maybe they’re a bit jelous of all the Wiz coverage. The Caps coverage in town has bene getting better, incrementally. Tarik really seems to care about doign a good job, unlike LaCanfora, and the Times have usually bene good to the team.
It’s definately catch-22 to try and get more coverage in a town that’s already saturated with sports coverage. We can’t get any because we’re not popular, and we’re not popular because we can’t get any coverage.

“Matchups between Indiana and Detroit, among others, on the hardwood bear a ‘Braveheart’ element of hand-to-hand to them.”
Other than that one quote, I’m inclined to agree with everything you wrote. But to get upset about the violence in basketball while simultaneously touting a sport that openly encourages an atmosphere of on-ice violence seems a tad hypocritical.

I wonder if those stats have to do with the abundance of Europeans in the league, where the perception is that of more tolerance.
As I said yesterday in the Steinberg article, the stereotype has always been that hockey players were the most polite and accomodating of the major pro sports in the US.

Apparently NHL’ers are more tolerant and progressive than their counterparts as well -
% of the league’s athletes which would welcome an openly gay teammate:
NFL – 56.9
NBA – 59.6
MLB – 61.5
NHL – 79.9

Nice article (finished reading it now), but let’s not get toooo pissed at the NBA. Ours is the only sport that allows fighting on the ice. Granted, there haven’t been any fan violence issues, but isn’t that just because the MSM doesn’t care?
Didn’t Domi punch out that guy who leaned into the penalty box? Didn’t Kovalchuk throw his broken stick(s) into the stands during a Caps game last year?
We’re all in glass houses, though your point about family units is well heeded.

Not to be a total homer for your blog, but it's actually NINE Bengals. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2739009
