Life, according to Marcus Aurelius, more resembles a wrestling match than a dance. Stretch his point a little bit and it may account for the fact that in America, boxing is, by far, the most literary sport of them all. On paper, it is the one where the most life resides. Heaven knows that baseball has resulted in more than its share of great writing. See the work, in particular, of the late, great Wilfrid Sheed and John Updike, especially Updike's masterful piece on Ted Williams' Boston farewell called "Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu." Football, to be sure, rules the American television set during its season. And basketball, as Michael Novak has pointed out, is jazz - - set plays to be improvised upon, infinite freedom within a limited sphere. Every play is an improvisation on "I Got ...

NEW YORK - Athletes of all ages who are suspected of suffering a concussion should be evaluated by a specialist before they return to sports, a major doctors group said Monday in the latest sign of concern over potential lasting damage from head injuries. The statement by the American Academy of Neurology follows rules already adopted in college sports and pro football aimed at preventing and better treating blows to the head in competition. Research involving NFL players has suggested repeated concussions may have long-term consequences, such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

MD group says specialist should review concussions: Athletes of all ages who are suspected of suffering a concussion should be evaluated by a specialist before they return to sports, a major doctors group said Monday in the latest sign of concern over potential lasting damage from head injuries. The statement by the American Academy of Neurology follows rules already adopted in college sports and pro football aimed at preventing and better treating blows to the head in competition. Research involving NFL players has suggested repeated concussions may have long-term consequences, such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Medical groups want to get the message "to the athletes, their parents and their coaches that a concussion is not just a ding, or getting your bell rung, but it is an in...

After discussing a little more about the Statue of Liberty's history, Ellis Island and immigration to the states, Pedro told me that he thinks New York is "cool" but that he would rather visit Miami...so he can see the "hot girls from the music videos. I would never play American football," began Lucas. "Are there even rules? When do they call a foul--when a player breaks his leg, right?!" "American movies are the bomb! `Spider Man', `American Pie' and `My Big Fat Greek Wedding' are some of my favorites," exclaimed Lucas.

Alas, things aren't much better in the U.K. In fact many schools have banned conkers along with the game British Bulldogs--this latter perhaps best described as American "football" minus the helmets, padding, rules, tactics, suppressed homoeroticism and erectile dysfunction-remedy TV adverts. These heroes of the Philadelphia streets should be given unlimited license to pursue a zero-tolerance "three strikes and you're dead" policy--with sidewalk kneecappings for minor offences and anyone suspected of speeding near a school, rec center, park or playground being shot up the ass and slung in a dumpster to die like a dog.

Farther down the sports page, we read that a new contract for the women's basketball coach at Tennessee has pushed UT's budget for two basketball coaches and a football coach past $4 million, enough to hire a whole new faculty and buy half of them new cars. Of course that's chump change to Duke's Coach K-not just a coach, his commercial says, but "a leader." In lieu of leading, the great coach seems to have retreated to an underground bunker with his image engineers, afraid or disinclined to say a word about the scandal that has substantially devalued the turf he rules by divine right, as Duke presidents come and go. ("He's not the power behind the throne; he sits on the only throne there is," said one disenchanted professor.) My god, what if some blue-chip basketball recruit, intimidat...
