DAYTON -- As the oldest high school in the Dayton area, it would seem obvious that Stivers School for the Arts also would have the most extensive athletic history. Toward that end, and as a compliment to its outstanding trophy room, the school initiated an athletic hall of fame in 2006 and has inducted 16 or 17 former athletes every year since.
Pharmaceutical companies no longer court doctors with tickets to sporting events and lavish trips, but one of the nation's largest drug manufacturers deployed a squad of sports figures to get physicians to play ball. Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp, a part of Swiss-based Novartis AG with $44.3 billion in revenue in 2009, relied on a lineup of baseball Hall of Fame members, including Bob Gibson and Johnny Bench, professional football players such as New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, coaches and other top athletes as lures to get doctors to attend dinners where the company would pitch its products.
TAMPA, Fla. -- Sunday is the big day for Kurt Warner on this Super Bowl weekend, the day he tries to add a second championship ring. A few years down the road, however, Saturday may be the day Warner circles on his Super Bowl calendar. That's the day the Professional Football Hall of Fame's yearly class of inductees is revealed.
For several years [Tomlinson], or LT as the fans like to call him, was the best running back in football. Tomlinson owns or shares 28 team records, including career rushing yards, yards from scrimmage and touchdowns. During his nine seasons in San Diego, Tomlinson won two rushing titles (2006 and '07), set an NFL single-season record for touchdowns in a season (31 in '06) and racked up 12,490 rushing yards, the eighth-highest total in NFL history. He was the NFL's Most Valuable Player in 2006 and earned Pro Bowl honors five times. And when he does finally retire he will be inducted into football's Hall of Fame. The only thing missing from his professional resume is a Super Bowl appearance. Racism is alive and well on the campus of the University of California at San Diego (UCSD.) This p...
Still, Mysterio is doing for the WWE what 5'7 NBA dunk champion Spud Webb did for professional basketball and 5'8 NFL Hall-of-Fame running back Barry Sanders did for professional football - standing up for the little guy and relying on his heart, dedication and determination to succeed. He's proven this by winning the competitive Royal Rumble in 2002 and becoming the WWE Heavyweight Champion in 2006 at WrestleMania XXII. I think its natural for people that want to take that risk. Is it easy? No, it's definitely not. You saw the results of Brock's first match in the UFC [Ultimate Fighting Championship]. We've seen it in football players try to jump over to wrestling. I think it's definitely a difficult transition. I can't even imagine going from wrestling to boxing. Yeah, they see my siz...

Defense rests White's ability to play both run, pass made him stand above rest Green Bay There is no higher honor in professional football than induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But there has been a small pantheon of players over the 85-year history of the National Football League that has even transcended that special company.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell seems to think that something is wrong with the current salary system for rookie players. Goodell said, "I think it is clear that we have an issue here and something is wrong with the system, flawed with the system, and we have to address it. I think it's better for the players, I think it's better for the teams and, most important, I think it is (better) for the fans. I think it's a disservice when players aren't in camp and being paid properly. Well; the commissioner might not tolerate thug-like behavior, better known as blue collar crime but what about white collar crime, you know, filming other team's practices, cheating and little "harmless" stuff like that? I guess maybe the integrity of the game isn't as big a deal as some might think. In the NFL i...
