Will Provident Bank be removing their name and sponsorship once the indictments start?

Besides the obvious…Read More benefits of the event, it is equally important to note that things like this serve as great experience to younger children in helping them to become role models and Everyday Heroes in their own schools and communities. Team Dawg thanks and applauds all involved!

Kind of amazing the number of championships New Rochelle has been bringing home lately.

Very true! Months back, I started noticing a change in my son’s character. He was growing to…Read More be practically scared of everything around him. I later learned that he was developing a sense of phobia and inferiority complex in him that he was too weak to defend himself from his schoolmates who found it interesting to bully him physically and mentally. I grew worried about this and desperately looked around for a solution. That is when I happened to hear about Classical Martial Arts Centre in Toronto. After having enrolled at the Classical Martial Arts Centre, my son has never been the same. He is confident and mentally strong now. He is focused and is doing pretty well in his academics. He now knows how to defend himself and is no longer scared of anything around him. The meditation classes that he attended there have worked out for the best. Certainly, karate can boost the confidence level in children!

Absolutely nothing. Thomas' comment does not offer a contrary opinion, or even a knowledgeable…Read More critique of martial arts; instead, he represents another stellar example of the thorough mind scouring that the American Taliban (i.e. the Christian Right) has perpetrated on a vast segment of contemporary American society.
Someday Thomas may read a book other than the Bible, perhaps he'll discover some of the fine Christian thinkers such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, or consider the historical crimes perpetrated upon indigenous peoples in the name of J.C., or maybe one day his conscience will simply and miraculously alight to the realization that he's been utterly, thoroughly and completely wrong in his world view.
But until that day comes, he's entitled to his opinion, as am I.

Beautiful Job Heather!!! What a Great Comment!! You Are A Hero Yourself for finding the truth about…Read More some of our athletes who live in a lie until "They Get Caught". How do they sleep at night than look at themselves in the mirror in the morning? Do they just justify what they are doing is for inspiration to others like myself? That they give us Hope & Encouragement to be "The Best" We Could. To only find out they had a little help from enhancements? To take this All Away from our Children & even Adults Like Myself. Our Real Heros are Our Parents, Family, Teachers, Police Officers, All Law Enforcers, Firemen, and in My Opinion, Any Honest Decent Person who gets up every Day or Night to go out and Make An Honest Living!!!

I have not felt a bit of "outrage" over this but I have felt disappointment. Nothing more, nothing less. But hey, he didn't sue me under false pretenses like he did to so many that he couldn't even recall them all when Oprah asked him about them.
I remember youngsters wearing those bracelets and being proud to wear them. Proud of Lance and all he had overcome and proud of the country he represented. It's disappointing to hear the truth, no matter how obvious and unrealistic it may have been.

The comparison between ELI and SANCHEZ during their first four years is interesting. However, ELI…Read More won his first Superbowl and Superbowl MVP early enough in his career so he can do no wrong. Adding a second ring and Superbowl MVP only adds to his untouchable status. SANCHEZ on the other hand has no such credentials. New York has always been about winning championships. Until SANCHEZ wins a ring, he will be this decades BROWNING NEAGLE. That is the reality of NY sports. Jeff Meyer Tuckahoe, NY

At Brewster it's not about who has the…Read More "better" track, but the state of an un-acceptable track.
The state of the facility was the concern.
I take exception to your position on high school athletics
But I side with you on the trend of reduced PE, it is short sighted.
I believe that athletics & sports are part of the educational process.
Ann Fanizzi December 13, 2012 at 07:57 pm
As an educator, I could attach the list you mentioned to a whole host of school activities. Could…Read More you give me the citation for your data, Jack? Who do you term an 'athlete?" The lack of phys ed in schools has been well documented but am opposed to "cadillac" sports who forment competition between schools as to who has the better track, equipment etc? Enough has been critically written about the relationship of high school sports to college admission. Odds never stopped anyone from competing and trying. What are the odds of winning the lottery?
Jack Duncan December 13, 2012 at 06:40 pm
Ann;
I cannot disagree with your position more.
Sports and Athletics are an extension of our…Read More classrooms.
They provide for the life lessons of physical-mental-emotional success and failure. Give the field opportunity for Leadership and the teach the ability to follow.
And your proposal of the fallacy -that kids play sports to pay for college.
This is the Reality
Only 7.5 % of high school male athletes will compete at the college level.
Only 7.9% of high school female athletes will compete at the college level.
Since I can speak with more authority as a father of a high school and college wrestler
Chances of competing in College Wrestling
Number of High School Wrestlers 273,732
Number of College Wrestlers 8,970
% of high school Wrestlers competing in college 3.3%
Maximum Wrestling Scholarships Available - per school
NCAA I: 9.9
NCAA II: 9.0
NCAA III does not give athletic scholarships
The “odds” of our high school athlete not only participating but having their education paid for by athletics is low.
That is why -when one of our student athletes do get that “full ride” it’s a big deal.

We worked hard in school so we could play Friday nights. We're not a bunch of dumb football players who can't read. Many of us are on honor roll and top of our classes. We worked hard this season and this season taught us a lesson no book could ever teach us. Your comment makes no sense.

A very sad comment by the Board of Ed. While sports has some importance, you go to school for…Read More academics and all society advances not from how many people can crash their heads into something but from how many books are consumed, written, questioned and put into practice. Congrats to the football team, but we are in a downward spiral because we spend way too much money on athletics and far too few on academia.

None of these juicers should be in the Hall. The only place they should be is jail. Pete Rose with…Read More his little boy haircut and fat stubby fingers should never be in the Hall. He should also be in jail. Or at least in the first grade because he obviously never learned anything beyond that. Rex Ryan should be fired if the Jets fail to make the playoffs. He's a good guy but a bad coach. If Sanchez wants to make the Hall, he needs to stop running into other guys' butts.
