LMR 03 - Week 19 Destiny's Nephew
LMR 03 - Week 19 Destiny's Nephew If you didn't enjoy last week's Division Playoffs, you don't have a pulse. The action was so intense that it reminded the Look Man of, well, it was like no other week in NFL Playoff history. Sure there have been some great single games in the playoffs. Games like The Drive, The Fumble, The Catch, The Tuck, The Sea of Hands, the Immaculate Reception, Air Coryell vs. the Killer Bees, and The Freezer Bowl have captured our imagination. But never in the Look Man's memory, has every single Divisional Playoff game come down to a single possession to determine the outcome. Here are but a few of the Greatest Games in NFL playoff history: • 1972 NFC semis: Cowboys 30, 49ers 28 ... Staubach led 17-point 4th quarter at Candlestick vs. John (Jaws) Brodie • 1975 NFC semis: Cowboys 17, Vikings 14 … the first "Hail Mary" - Staubach to Drew Pearson • 1977 AFC semis: Raiders 37, Colts 31 (2 OT) .. The "Ghost to the Post," Stabler to Casper • 1986 AFC semis: Browns 23, Jets 20 (2 OT) … "The Bernie, Bernay Game", Kosar and the Browns score 10 points in the final 4 minutes, and win in OT. Kosar throws 64 times for 489 yards on the day. • 1989 AFC semis: Browns 34, Bills 30 … "Clay Day/Clay Day!" - LB Clay Matthews INT at 1- yard line with 3 seconds left seals it (included a pick by Felix Wright on Don Beebe that was miscalled) • 1998 NFL wild card: 49ers 30, Packers 27 .. -

As every fan knows, baseball is much more than a game. The most traditional, numbers-oriented and nostalgia-inducing of our major sports, it offers a reprieve from the fast-moving digital world, a fantasyland for statisticians, an instrument for social change, heroes to admire and memories to last a lifetime. During this 9-week course, students will spend time in the company of baseball insiders, taking an informative, in-depth, and entertaining look at America's game. Topics will include how to build a team, a fan base and a new ballpark; scouting vs. analytics; the business of baseball; the challenges of the college game; representing players and negotiating with teams; and the real-life MLB experiences of a star player, veteran umpire, legendary scout, beat writer and columnist. Grade Options and Requirements No Grade Requested (NGR) Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) Students must attend at least 7 of the 9 classes to receive credit.

FIELD GOAL KICKIN' – the 1976 Oakland Raiders
FIELD GOAL KICKIN’ – The 1976 Oakland Raiders By Dean Gearhart 3/2/15 During the last episode, I noted that in the 1977 Topps football card set, one of the few teams that did not have a kicker represented in the set was the defending champion Oakland Raiders. I fast-forwarded to my 1978 set. Ah, there he is…… Errol Mann. Turning Errol’s card to the back, I see that he was, in fact, the Raiders kicker on their championship team. I also saw that he has a pilot’s license…..very nice…..and in 1976 he connected for 26 Extra points for Oakland……. …….and 4 field goals…… (record scratching sound effect)……4 field goals? Do what? I quickly turned to pro-football-reference.com to check the stats for the 1976 Oakland Raiders and it turns out that Errol took over for an injured Fred Steinfort. Well, that makes sense then. Steinfort had made 4 field goals of his own before getting injured, making for a grand total of……uh……8 field goals…….for the world champion Raiders. Really? When one thinks of the 1976 Raiders many images come to mind. They were led by quarterback Kenny “The Snake” Stabler and coached by the legendary John Madden. Their defense included Ted Hendricks (“The Stork”), John Matuszak (“The Tooz”), Skip Thomas (“Dr. Death”) and Jack Tatum (“The Assassin”). They finished the regular season a dominant 13-1-0, with a Week 4 blowout loss at New England the only blemish on their record. As fortune would have it, the Raiders would get a chance to avenge that lone defeat when they hosted New England in the first round of the AFC playoffs. -

The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. by Sean Edward Gorman BA
Moorditj Magic: The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. By Sean Edward Gorman BA (Hons) Murdoch University A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Murdoch University March 2004 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work, which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………. Sean Edward Gorman. ii ABSTRACT This thesis analyses and investigates the issue of racism in the football code of Australian Rules to understand how racism is manifested in Australian daily life. In doing this, it considers biological determinism, Indigenous social obligation and kinship structure, social justice and equity, government policy, the media, local history, everyday life, football culture, history and communities and the emergence of Indigenous players in the modern game. These social issues are explored through the genre of biography and the story of the Noongar footballers, Jim and Phillip Krakouer, who played for Claremont and North Melbourne in the late 1970’s and 1980’s. This thesis, in looking at Jim and Phillip Krakouers careers, engages with other Indigenous footballer’s contributions prior to the AFL introducing Racial and Religious Vilification Laws in 1995. This thesis offers a way of reading cultural texts and difference to understand some Indigenous and non-Indigenous relationships in an Australian context. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have often wondered where I would be if I had not made the change from work to study in 1992. In doing this I have followed a path that has taken me down many roads to many doors and in so doing I have been lucky to meet many wonderful and generous people. -

A's News Clips, Friday, April 6, 2012 A's Second
A’s News Clips, Friday, April 6, 2012 A's second baseman Jemile Weeks: Is he on the verge of stardom? By Carl Steward, Oakland Tribune As the A's prepare to resume the regular season Friday night in their home opener against Seattle, second year second baseman Jemile Weeks appears to be priming himself for stardom. During spring training, A's fans focused most of their attention on the team's newest sensation, Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes. Meanwhile, last year's sensation quietly continued to hone his skills for a season that just might draw attention inside and outside of Oakland. Weeks, who hit .303 and stole 22 bases in 97 games following his June debut, this spring hit .339, flashed a little power and looked far better defensively than he did last year, when he led AL second basemen in errors with 13. "I see him improving because Jemile's just a guy who looks to improve every day," said manager Bob Melvin. "I think I'm even more impressed with his defense right now than his offense. When I got here last year, in my opinion he was a well below average defender at second base. But boy, he has come a long way. He looks like he wants to be an All-Star and a Gold Glover at some point." At 25, Weeks doesn't know what his ceiling might be. And he definitely doesn't see the basement for this frightfully inexperienced A's team. "I don't think you can set expectations on this team," he said. -

Sweet Science Preparing Broncos' Jones for First Camp
Sweet science preparing Broncos’ Jones for first camp By Ryan O’Halloran The Denver Post July 15, 2018 Sometime between throwing a right cross, left jab and consecutive uppercuts, Sam Jones’ Chicago Bulls cap flew off his head during a boxing session at Six-Zero Strength & Fitness last Wednesday morning in Centennial. Was losing the hat a sign Jones, a Broncos rookie guard, was grinding away in preparation for training camp? Sure. But, Jones said with a laugh: “In (a) real (fight), it probably means I would have been knocked out.” During their workout, supervised by former Colorado and NFL offensive lineman Matt McChesney, Jones and Broncos tackle/guard Billy Turner focused on balance and technique before Matt’s brother, Zach, an MMA fighter, put the players through three sets of boxing work. Since he was 15, Jones has worked with McChesney, who started Six-Zero and trains high school, college and professional players. A Highlands Ranch native, Jones played at Arizona State and was a sixth-round draft pick by the Broncos. In the six weeks between the offseason program and training camp, Jones isn’t looking to add strength. “It’s not lifting and running; it’s all technique-based,” Matt McChesney said. “Even the boxing is more suited to defensive and offensive line play – foot transition, extension through your hands, moving to stay in front of your target and understanding different angles.” In addition to Jones and Turner, Broncos guards Connor McGovern and Ron Leary, Tampa Bay center Ryan Jensen and New York Jets defensive tackle Mike Pennel train frequently at Six-Zero. -

615 GOTTLIEB (DO NOT DELETE) 5/5/2014 12:55 PM AVOIDING CONTRACTUAL LIABILITY TO BASEBALL PLAYERS WHO HAVE USED PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS: CAN WE KNOCK IT OUT OF THE PARK? By Bryan Gottlieb* INTRODUCTION In 2007, Alex Rodriguez signed a $275 million, ten-year contract with the New York Yankees, setting the record at the time for largest sports contract in history.1 Since then, he has faced many allegations of performance enhancing drug (―PED‖) use, one of which he confirmed through a public admission.2 Regardless of these allegations and admissions, Rodriguez continues to reap the benefits of his record deal despite the fact that his performance has been rapidly declining in recent years.3 When Rodriguez initially received his massive payday, he was one of best players in the game, having previously won three American League Most Valuable Player awards.4 By most accounts, his PED usage contributed greatly to the many successes early on in his career. Rodriguez is not alone in his transgressions. Baseball‘s drug problem came into the light in the now infamous Mitchell Report,5 * Editor-in-Chief; J.D.
