McNabb Displays His Accuracy- September 21, 2007 Thankfully, Donovan McNabb had the guts to stand tall in the pocket with critics trying to knock his head off. Thankfully, McNabb, at 30, has some sense of the NFL beyond his own participation. Most celebrity athletes talk only when paid to talk, and usually about something benign if not downright useless.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/20/AR2007092002688.html?nav=r...

Crime Deserves More Punishment- September 14, 2007 Coach Bill Belichick picked the absolute worst time to cheat, or more to the point, the worst time to get caught cheating. Of course, the New England Patriots aren't the only team that has spied on opponents to gain a competitive advantage.

The arrests, the suspensions, the missteps are mostly forgotten -- if not forgiven -- as long as teams kick it off the week after Labor Day. Nothing in sports seduces Americans the way the National Football League does.
