Steelers Need New Defensive Coordinator Should Eye Rex Ryan

Easy: Have Dick LeBeau retire, and hire Rex Ryan. STEELE: No circus or hype: Browns look like winners | Stats | Week 6 must-see images Does that mean all that still ails the Steelers’ defense in 2014 is on LeBeau? Not close. There’s the same old refrain of being too long in the tooth at several positions, and not being able to find the right young players to replace them....

Steelers Rookie Chase Claypool Has A Pick For Super Bowl 55 If That S Ok

Wait. He’s allowed to have an opinion, right? After all, he said the Browns were going to get “clapped” by the Chiefs in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs, and for that he was excoriated by many in the media and public — even though that prediction turned out, more or less, to be correct. Perhaps he shouldn’t even bother with something as routine as a Super Bowl pick....

Statues Of Jesus Are Next Matt Schlapp Decries Monument Removals

A number of monuments honoring Confederate leaders have recently been defaced and torn down by Black Lives Matter protesters, including those in Virginia, North Carolina, California, Oregon and Alabama. “Statues of Jesus are next. It won’t end. Pray for the USA,” Schlapp tweeted. On Saturday, as a result of a series of protests across the U.S., North Carolina Gov.

Starr Don Imus Is Us

Using stereotypes—about blacks, Jews, women, and gays and lesbians—has been a part of Imus’s act for decades. I first listened to his show when I moved to New York in 1989 as a 22-year-old writer for NEWSWEEK. His comedy skits were often the subject of water-cooler discussion, so I felt Imus was must-hear radio. But I soon discovered his blatantly racist skits made my skin crawl. His “jokes” in the 1980s and ’90s included skits in which the radio host and his sidekicks mimicked African-American public figures with deeply offensive stereotyped voices or called them racial names—like “bugaloo” for Johnnie Cochran, or “cleaning lady” for reporter Gwen Ifill....

Starr Doping And The U.S. Track Team

One has to credit these athletes, who, recognizing that cheating by elite American stars has tarnished their sport into virtual irrelevance in their country, are trying to find a new path. But they face a daunting task if they hope to rehabilitate their sport’s image. Recent history has taught us that the simple fact that an athlete denies ever having tested positive for drugs is no proof that he or she doesn’t use them....

Starr Gazing Let The Geopolitical Games Begin

South America’s biennial competition, which has been held since 1916, has-this time around-been an on-again, off-again affair after a high official in Colombia’s soccer federation was kidnapped by rebels late last month. Though he was released a few days later, Colombia, fearful for the security of the sprawling event, which it is hosting for the first time in more than 50 years, canceled Copa. It brought back memories of Colombia’s humiliation of 1986 when, having been awarded the World Cup, it was taken away because of civil unrest and played instead in Mexico....

Starr Gazing Mvp Fallout

We can endlessly parse the meaning of the word “valuable” and wonder how valuable any ballplayer, even the incomparable A-Rod, can be when his team finishes in last place. Where would the Texas Rangers have been without their MVP shortstop? Well, still last. OK, maybe a little laster. The awarding of the coveted National League MVP award to Barry Bonds provoked plenty of debate, too. And it is not exactly the kind that Major League Baseball covets....

States With Gop Governors That Democrats Are Most Likely To Flip In Midterm

Currently, Democrats hold governorships in 22 states, while Republican governors lead 28 states. Open races in states easily won by President Joe Biden in 2020—and abortion emerging as a key issue after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the case that guaranteed abortion-rights to women across the country—raises Democratic hopes of flipping the top office in several states despite a national environment favoring Republicans. Recent polling shows Democrats are strongly favored to win the gubernatorial races in Massachusetts and Maryland, two of the most Democratic states in the country that are currently led by moderate Republican governors who have spoken out against former President Donald Trump....
