Give me a Break - Sensitive or Sensationalism

Miller Apologizes for Comments He Made About Mediate

Ciongoli said that his letter “is not meant to be an attack upon NBC, but rather to be an illumination of a problem that continues to trouble our society.”“The perpetuation of negative stereotypes and demeaning language hurts us all,” he said.But Anthony Baratta, the president of the Order Sons of Italy in America’s commission for social justice, demanded Miller’s suspension. “If Johnny Miller had made a similar remark about Tiger Woods,” he said Thursday in a press release, “he would have been fired.”

Are we really that sensitive or just that sensational? Come on, media types can dog "red necks", "country bumpkins", "Christians" and "farmer types" all the time...well even presidential candidates can, and the claim is "we were not talking about them they just read to much into it; however, when a specific group does read to much into a statement - "Katie bar the door" we want them hung...
These groups are simply looking for publicity through sensationalism - IMOH!

Disclaimer - "hung" is not meant to be derogatory to anyone's ancestry which may or may not involve "horse thievery", "rapists", "murders", "race", "racists", "religion", etc. etc. etc.

College Football Starts

Well for me the college football season started last night and to my dismay "the Vols" lost their first one; however, California didn't look like the team that came to Knoxville last year. Tennessee gave up fourteen points on "non-offensive" plays, which happened to be exactly what they lost by...

I cannot blame those fourteen points on their loss, but I can say, the Vol defense has me worried about out the season. Well let's hope for the best.

Golden Bears get revenge with 45-31 victory over Volunteers

Go Peyton!

I just found this interesting

UT's Fulmer, Cutcliffe head to Super Bowl as Peyton fans

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer was acting like a regular fan when he watched Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts earn a trip to the Super Bowl. Fulmer recruited and coached the star quarterback and is now one of his biggest fans, like many Volunteer faithful who still follow Manning.

Go SEC!

I know I haven't posted much, but I had to post something about the Southeastern Conference showing up and putting the Big 10 in it's place! As usual this year we here how powerful the Big 10--though many sports writers independently claim the SEC the strongest conference, very few will give an individual SEC team their Kudos unless they have no choice (make through conference play and season undefeated). But we see the big powerful Big 10, the best they had to offer, wasn't so powerful!
