| I found this article (http://www.cantonrep.com/sports/x1662365269/JWC-Spielman-issues-challenge-to-Team-USA-players) to be very inspiring and indicative of the type of passion Chris Spielman brings to the game of football. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did. |

Great Article On Obstructionist Jim Delany
Jim Delany is The Big Ten conference commissioner and one of the primary reasons why college football does not have a playoff system. This article on bucknuts.com humorously details what Jim Delany does, and gives you an idea on how foolish it is that college football does not have a playoff system. Enjoy.

CURSES! Christian Pace of AL will become a Wolverine
What I had feared all along when I read the news last week that Christian Pace of Avon Lake would attend Michigan's big barbeque/recruiting event has come to pass...
I am truly happy for the young man, and wish him nothing but success up there, except of course when they play Ohio State. Hopefully, this won't be an example of an Ohioan who went and played for That Team Up North and came back to haunt Ohio State.

Go Get 'Em, Joe Barton
Rep. Joe Barton of Texas is contemplating perjury charges against an Alamo Bowl official for exaggerating the amount of money donated to charity from bowl games. Hey, whatever it takes to give college football fans a playoff system...
A Little Blurb on Sonia Sotomayor and Maurice Clarett
From Peter King of SI ~ "That name. Sonia Sotomayor. President Obama's choice for Supreme Court justice rings a bell in the sports world, especially in Big Ten country. Remember?
In 2004, Maurice Clarett tested the National Football League's draft-eligibility rules, which state that players are not eligible for the draft until three seasons have passed between the time they graduate from high school and the time they declare for the draft. Only two years had passed when Clarett tried to enter the 2004 draft. His case went before the U.S. Court of Appeals in New York, where a three-judge panel, Sotomayor included, ruled against Clarett and forced him to wait 'til the 2005 draft.
Clarett's attorney, Alan Milstein, argued keeping Clarett out of the NFL would unreasonably restrict his client's earnings. Of course it would restrict his earnings, because it would keep him out of the NFL for another year. But the question for the three-judge panel was whether this was unreasonable or unfair.
Opined Sotomayor: "That's what unions do every day -- protect people in the union from those not in the union. Why is this case different?''
It wasn't. Clarett lost the case. He was drafted in the third round the next year by the Broncos in what turned out to be a ridiculously bad pick, a total waste by then Denver coach Mike Shanahan. And now Sotomayor, who is a big Yankees fan, will be up for confirmation to the highest court in the land."
