A very popular phrase recently is that with great power comes great responsibility. No matter who accepts this statement, Georgia Tech Football Coach Chan Gailey and dozens of other coaches just like him are very glad that it has so much validity.

Going For The Win
In two consecutive weeks, fans have been able to witness the glory that is the “killer instinct” — that desire to go out for the win and not settle for tying up the game. Dick Vermeil and Jon Gruden get the thumbs up from me for their willingness to throw caution to the wind, and go for the “W”.

A Sweet Spot in Time
by Matt Waters
It’s the sweet, precious, moment in time. The natural high adrenaline can bring, the one second where it feels as if we could skate right on the Milky Way, defy gravity, the rules, the expectations, defy our common denominator of humanity.

A Timeout for T.O.
If you didn’t watch the theatrical event that was the Terrell Owens-Drew Rosenhaus press conference Tuesday, you missed quite the show.
You pick up the phone and call the want-a-bee’s, “Yoh! I spanked your butt three colors of red my boy. I am 10-2 and just about clinched best record overall and that first round bye. Do you want to name your first born after me as I think I am the greatest fantasy manager ever.” You are becoming more obnoxious and talking more trash then TO. Your love affair is in stage three, falling in love with your team even more than when you first drafted it. As your thinking what brilliant cheap shot about your opponents team you can make next, your buddy says. “Did you here your star LT strained a knee in practice.” The cell phone bounces off the keyboard as it starts falling to the floor in slow motion. Your beautiful wonderful explosive club is free falling and you keep grasping for air as the phone and your club hit’s the floor. NOOOO!

Vick Silences Critics
I’m not going to go out and make any wild predictions. I’m not going to stamp my foot down with certainty, or rave over possibility, or yell about opportunity. Nope. I just want to inform you to keep your eyes on the 6-2 Falcons, who seem to have all the ingredients for a Super Bowl caliber team. Including, dare I say, the best quarterback in the NFC.

The ABA is here again!
The American Basketball League is back and it’s thriving. The season started this past week with over 50 teams competing for the championship using the same red, white and blue ball and some of the other innovations that made the original ABA so much fun. Add in a family friendly atmosphere and affordable prices, and the ABA give fans another option to the NBA.

Help Wanted
by Trevor Freeman
Not sure if you caught this? Actually I’m pretty sure nobody has. USA Water Polo is advertising the opening for the position of Men’s National Team Head Coach/Director on the front page of their website (www.usawaterpolo.com). This position became available when Ratko Rudic, the legendary Yugoslavian head coach who took over the United States Olympic Team, resigned in December of 2004 to take over his native Croatia.

What Sports Really Mean to America
Hurricane Katrina has devastated cities, Terrorists have destroyed the biggest of buildings, and wars have separated families, but not one force will ever be able to take away sports from the people of America. Sports have always been the shoulder America leans on when we need support. From the time my Grandfather was born until now there hasn’t been a time when sports weren’t a part of everyone’s daily life.
