The Sunday Sports Page

Got back from Heber last night. Although I didn't have time to do the usual Sunday thing, I decided to put some sports stuff up today out of force of habit as much of anything.

The first link is to a piece in today's edition of Play, the new sports offering from the New York Times in which the question is asked that has presented itself to my mind from time-to-time: "Is Phil Mickelson a knucklehead?"

The other 2 links concern the chaos in Arkansas Razorback athletics as a metaphor for the larger problems in college sports. Today's column by the always excellent Selena Roberts is particularly acute. The 4 part story in ESPN doesn't unearth any news, but has to represent more water torture to the Razorback Nation and gives the lie to the old saying "Any pub is good pub."

None of this is good pub.

Finally, I include as a public service today's column by our own inimitable and often unreadable Wally Hall as an example of how not to write a sports column. And today's offering is one of his more coherent efforts!

Enjoy!
