Maryland, District Take Top Honors in Race to the Top Grants

By AFRO Staff
Maryland and Washington, D.C., are
among the newest winners of the highly
competitive Race to the Top initiative,
announced U.S. Secretary of Education Arne
Duncan Tuesday.
The District and Maryland will receive up
to $75 million and $250 million,
respectively, joining eight
other states winning Phase
2 applications and Phase
1 winners Tennessee and
Delaware.
According to the U.S.
Department of Education,
the education initiative
will directly impact
13.6 million students and
980,000 teachers in 25,000
schools.
“These states show what is
possible when adults come together to do
the right thing for children,” said Duncan in
a statement. “Every state that applied showed
a tremendous amount of leadership and a
bold commitment to education reform. The
creativity and innovation in each of these
applications is breathtaking.”
A total of 46 states and the District of
Columbia put together comprehensive
education reform plans to apply for Race to
the Top in Phases 1 and 2. Over the course
of the competition, participants took on
challenging standards in reading and math,
and 34 states changed laws or policies to
improve education.
Congressman Elijah E. Cummings,
D-Md., congratulated Maryland Gov. Martin
O’Malley, State Superintendent of Schools
Nancy S. Grasmick and Maryland’s education
leaders for their dedication to
students and improving school
standards.
“Education can be the

along the path toward the
American Dream,” said
Cummings in a statement.
“These grants, and the
work that has gone into
earning them, will help more
students in Maryland stride proudly
down that path.”
Similarly, education and political officials
in the District are celebrating the Department
of Education’s decision, although the city’s
education community has faced a turbulent
year. When D.C. Schools Chancellor Michelle
Rhee fired hundreds of city teachers, some
community leaders and parents questioned
the quality of education their children were
receiving. However, District Mayor Adrian

US Marshals Target Bowie’s Foundation Board Welcomes

Sex Offenders
By Nafeesa Syeed
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The U.S. Marshals Service
says it’s cracking down on
some of the most dangerous
sex offenders in the
nation’s capital.
Deputy U.S.
Marshal David
Neumann, a
spokesman for the
U.S. Marshals for
D.C. Superior Court,
says the agency is
targeting the five
most wanted sex
offenders who
have failed to register with
authorities.
It’s part of Project
Sentinel/Operation Guardian
that’s under way throughout
the country, with each
Marshal’s district searching
for the worst convicted,
noncompliant sex offenders.
Neumann says there are
about 750,000 convicted
sex offenders in the United
States, but about 125,000
have not registered. He says
it’s important to catch them
to put victims at ease and
protect families.
Those who are caught
face more prosecution
because of their failure to
register.

Early Voting

“It’s hard to know how it’s really going to
play, but we’re going to be watching with a
whole lot of interest, he continued.”
Early voting is not only important in the
general election, but for places with heavy
concentrations of a particular political party,
it adds another wrinkle to primary elections as
well. This is especially true in Prince George’s
County and Baltimore City, where Democrats
outnumber Republicans at rates close to 9-to-
1. In both jurisdictions, preparing voters for
the early voting period is a new priority.
“We’ve already had that information
posted on our website for quite some time,”
said Alisha L. Alexander, Prince George’s
County elections administrator. “We’re
going to begin taking flyers to our various
colleges and universities as well as other
organizations with the hopes that they put it
on their websites as well. We also plan to do
newspaper ads as well as radio and TV spots.”
Turnbull thinks this can be beneficial for
voters in general. She says this process can
provide a more convenient experience for
Maryland voters regardless of party affiliation
and that’s why she’s encouraging all Maryland
residents to take advantage of it.
“One of the reasons that we encourage
people to vote early is that they don’t have to
stand in lines,” she said. “One of the problems
in the past is we’ve had people leave early
on Election Day. If someone gets called
away, they have several days to vote at their
leisure.”

Smith, who hails from Pittsburgh, loves

“I just love being there and I thank God
that he’s placed my husband there because of
course as the pastor’s wife that means I have
the opportunity to work there as well.”
Garnette concurs with that
assessment. She says it’s a big
city church with a small town feel.
“One of our former members used
to refer to us as the friendliest little
church in Prince George’s county
and we are proud to [have] won
that title,” she said.
“Within our membership of less
than 200, everyone knows each

to our matriarch, who is just a few

Five Years After the
Levees Broke
(NNPA) - On Aug. 29, we
will commemorate five years
since Hurricane Katrina hit
New Orleans, broke its levees
and drowned the city in feet
of water. Five years ago our
nation exhibited some of the
most profound indifference
Julianne

Malveaux of New Orleaneans were
stuck without food, water, or
sanitation in the Super Dome.  first for the Essence Music
In the aftermath of those five years, those divisions of race
and class have determined which individuals have recovered
from Katrina and who have not. Five years after the levees
broke, the city of New Orleans is still bruised from the tragedy
of a natural disaster, a man-made disaster, and an indifferent
government.
Bill Quigley, legal director of the Center for Constitutional
Rights, Loyola University law professors Bill and Davida
Finger, and Tulane University researcher Lance Hill have
compiled a “Pain Index” for New Orleans in 2010.  They
make the case that too many people have been permanently
displaced, the infrastructure remains badly frayed, and that
there is insufficient affordable housing. They note that while
some say the median income in New Orleans has risen since
Katrina, that income has only risen because so many poor
people can’t come back.
There are at least 100,000 fewer persons in New Orleans
today than five years ago. One in four residential addresses is

When President Obama used the word “empathy” to
describe one of the qualities he looked for in a Supreme Court
nominee, Republicans ripped into him (and rightfully so).  Our
legal system is based on the law, not how one feels about a

Letters to the Editor
Goodbye Dr. Laura
You mean to tell me there’s a word White folks can’t
use under any circumstances? What word is that? Because it
certainly isn’t “n-gg-r.” White folks use the word “n-gg-r” all
the time—they just don’t use it around Black folks.
Dr. Laura Schlessinger used the word “n-gg-r’ 11 times the
other day during an argument with a Black woman because
that’s what was in her heart. She was bold, angry and for a
time, unapologetic. She wanted her White listeners to hear
her and become bold enough to sing along. Every time a high
profile White person comes out of their mouth wrong, Black
folks should hold them accountable. No excuses! I bet she
wouldn’t have been calling Jews anything other than sir and
ma’am.
“Black guys use it all the time,” she said. “Turn on HBO,
listen to a Black comic and all you hear is nigger.” I guess
her mama never told her not to do everything she sees on
television. Women call each other “bitches” all the time. That
doesn’t mean I should do it. Besides, quite a few Black folks
don’t want comedians to use it anymore either. White folks
invented the word “n-gg-r” as a derogatory, hate filled insult
meant to psychologically do damage. Dr. “Quack” knew that
but her arrogance was too blinding. And she’d been dying
to say it on the air anyway. She saw her chance and took it.
Although Dr. Laura was using the ‘N’ word to make a point to
a listener, her rationalization that Black folks use it all the time
shows intent. Did Dr. Laura called it quits or was she forced to
quit? Who cares, she was obnoxious anyway.

Drunken Illegals Major Maryland Concern
The silence was deafening from Maryland’s political
leadership when the news broke of Carlos Montano, an illegal
alien, being arrested in Virginia for crashing into and killing
an innocent Catholic nun while driving under the influence
(DUI). Politicians in Montgomery and Prince George’s
counties, known sanctuaries for illegal aliens, are quite aware
of the dangerous arrest and release policies used for DUI and
related cases involving illegal aliens like Montano in their
jurisdictions.
For counties that pride themselves on public health
and safety issues such as cigarette smoking bans, transfat
elimination, fireworks restrictions, motorcycle and bicycle
helmet requirements, CO2 cutbacks and yes, severe drunken
driving regulations, this revolving door policy for those
without legal presence in our state stands out like a sore
thumb.
A careful review of Montgomery County’s outstanding
criminal and traffic warrants posted on-line highlights
hundreds and hundreds of Montano-type alcohol related arrests
from the many thousands of outstanding warrants listed.  In
Prince George’s County the problem is even more pronounced
with outstanding warrants number in the tens of thousands.
Why does the solid block of Democratic politicians in both
counties assume that illegal aliens cited for DUI and related
automotive violations, such as driving without a license or
insurance (truly undocumented!), would actually show up in
court for their crimes?
These fugitives already broke the law getting to Maryland

“I miss them and I miss my grands, but I have two others

a wistfulness in her voice. “It is as if our family has been

same. And, she says she is grateful for what she does have,
including her health, her home, and good relationships. 
Langston Hughes called stories like these “the sweet flypaper
of life.” Not enough to write a research paper on, just enough to
get some flavor for. That flypaper isn’t as sweet for many New
Orleaneans as it was five years ago, and material conditions
have worsened as well. When we turn the lens on New Orleans
this week to commemorate the five years since Katrina, what
can we say about the possibility that this city and its residents
Julianne Malveaux is president of Bennett College for

Once again, these same Republicans who oppose the
Muslims in New York on grounds of “sensitivity,” will not take
the same stand on the Confederate flag when it comes to the
Black community.
Principles are guides to one’s life that are not relative or
situational.  Principles have to be consistently applied for one
to be credible and maintain the moral high ground.  You can’t
pick and choose when to apply one’s principles.

Can you honor the Confederate flag without being a racist? 
Without a doubt.  Can you support the Muslim project in New

hypocrisy.

America’s Oil Dependency
While running for office, President Obama promised that if
elected, he would get us off OPEC oil within 10 years.
Two years are gone and we still don’t have a plan. In fact,
there is some evidence that we’re going in the wrong direction.
In July 2010, we imported 388 million barrels of oil. That’s
the single largest import month since President Obama was
inaugurated.
The NAT GAS Act will create jobs, clean up the
environment and improve our national security by providing
tax incentives to organizations which operate fleets of vehicles
that are fueled with imported oil to be replaced with vehicles
that run on domestic natural gas.
Election Day will soon be here. Those who are running for
office—be it open seats, incumbents or challengers—need to
take a look at this legislation and make promising to reduce
our need for OPEC oil a central part of their campaigns.

Getting the Best Value for Your Textbook Dollar

By Talibah Chikwendu
AFRO Executive Editor
Textbooks…necessary for educational experience, right?
Well, they can also be very costly.
According to a 2005 report on college textbooks from the
Government Accounting Office, in the 2003-2004 academic
year, in-state, first-time, full-time students at a four-year public
college or university spent “26 percent of the cost of tuition
and fees on books and supplies.” During that same time period,
students at two-year community colleges, where tuitions are
lower, fared worse, spending 72 percent of the cost on book
and supplies.
The situation has not improved since then. The cost of
books has continued to keep pace with the rise in tuition costs,
and students are being called on to spend a significant amount
of money on what turns out to, be in many instances, a limited-
use resource.
But challenge breeds innovation, and government, schools
and businesses have stepped up with new ways to reduce the
costs. The American Opportunity Tax Credit, according to the
National Association of College Stores, provides for textbooks
and other course material expenses incurred in 2009 and 2010
that are not covered by a grant or scholarship to be claimed, up
to $2,500 per student. This represents significant savings.
Not to be outdone in this fight to control costs, schools are

Community College will be greeted with construction.
The construction, the new Center for Health Studies – which
paves the way for adding surgical technician, physician’s

President Charlene M. Dukes, “we’re planning for the future, to

It’s not just buildings that are going up on the campus. Dr.
Dukes said that by the end of the semester, the three or four
wireless hotspots at PGCC will be expanded so the campus is
completely wireless. “Our students deserve it,” she said.
The work being done to make physical room for new
programs and to expand the existing offerings is reinforced by
efforts to support all students so they complete their degrees
and can, if they choose, successfully move to a four-year
institution. Among the programs to accomplish this is the

Morgan Embarks upon Season of Change

By Talibah Chikwendu
AFRO Executive Editor

With the freshman class already tucked in, things are

getting started at Morgan State University. Dr. David Wilson
is firmly at the helm – after carrying more than one freshman’s
belongings into the dorm – and the campus is about to kick into
high gear.
On the academic front, Morgan has added several new
programs this year. Assistant Provost Dr. Kara Turner said there

then take those skills out into the world at a later date.

Promote Success
By Melissa Jones
AFRO Staff Writer
Dr. Sidney A. Ribeau, president of Howard University, said
the school’s “Student First” initiative is part of the larger goal
of “placing students at the center of the learning experience.”
This is being done through programs and services designed to
meet student needs in an effective manner.
As a part of the initiative, incoming freshmen got a helping
hand on moving day. About 1,100 volunteers returned to the
campus early and, wearing red t-shirts with the words “Ask
Me” in bold yellow letters, assisted students and parents by
answering questions, giving directions, and carrying boxes and
personal belongings into the dormitories.
Dr. Ribeau said one parent told him the students were so
helpful on moving day they did everything except valet park the
car. “That wouldn’t have been a comment from a parent about
the level of service a few years ago” he said.
And it doesn’t stop there. “We are utilizing technology
better to make sure that a lot of things that were done manually
in the past are now done in an automated way,” he said.
This means faster processing of financial aid documents,
improvements in the user experience on the student web portal,
mobile-friendly access to the shuttle bus schedule online and an
upgrade in instructional technology in classrooms.
Under the supervision of Dr. Barbara Griffin, the vice
president of Student Affairs, the university started faculty-led
of Student Affairs, has a long list of events to promote, from a
Student Organizations Fair on Sept. 15 to the R.U.L.E.S. for
Black Men Conference on Nov. 13, sponsored by Omega Psi
Phi Fraternity, Pi Chapter and SMOOTH. Other events include
Drunk Driving Awareness Day, a no texting while driving
campaign and a Women’s History Month production of The
Vagina Monologues and a lecture by Sapphire, author of Push.
These activities are taking place under the new theme of the
Office of Student Activities – “I am a Leader at Morgan State
University.” According to Corbett, “This is to infuse a sense of
renewed leadership and accountability in our returning students
and to motivate and encourage new students to get involved in
extracurricular activities.”
As a continuation of this effort, the schools is providing a
learning cohorts for freshmen. Ribeau said these
mentors will work with students on a variety
of topics from fiscal literacy to preparing for
and getting internships, as well as mentoring
and coordinating learning activities outside of
the classroom. “One thing that we know is that
students spend 80 percent of their time outside
of the classroom. So if you can take advantage
of that time and structure learning opportunities,
you can really help the learning process become
more integrated,” he said. Courtesy Photo
Some social areas on campus have been Dr. Sidney A. Ribeau,

All these activities and opportunities sound great and make
Morgan a place students want to be. But as important as the
social interaction on campus is the academic success. Dr.
Turner offered these tips to help students have the best and
most productive experience:
• Go to every class and be on time.
• Communicate frequently with instructors. Go to their
office hour. Seek assistance if you do not understand the
material. Let them know if you have to miss class.
• Make use of the student support services on campus,
including the one-on-one tutoring through the Center for
Academic Success and Achievement.
• Stay on top of your financial obligation including
completing FAFSA paperwork on time.
to see embraced by students. Renovations were
also made in dining areas, and residence halls
were updated with new carpeting and fresh
paint.
To facilitate success, Dr. Ribeau suggests
students become proactive, empowered and
assertive in their own learning. “From day one,
find out who is responsible for what, who your
academic advisor is, who is the department chair
for your major, and get a list of your courses and
faculty members,” he said. “Take that proactive
step to try to become aware of and take control
of your learning environment.”

Tommy Davidson: Life After ‘In Living Color’

By Mia Fields-Hall
Special to the AFRO
It’s been 20 years since the world was
first introduced to the cast of “In Living
Color,” but many of the show’s alums
have gone on to dominate Hollywood
in film, TV and comedy. The series,
created and written by Keenan and
Damon Wayans, launched the careers
of Jamie Foxx, Jim Carey, David Alan
Grier, Jennifer Lopez, Rosie Perez
and comedian Tommy Davidson, an
entertainer who spans the artistic gamut.
“The ‘90s was a great time for
African Americans in Hollywood,”
Davidson said in an exclusive interview
with the AFRO. “There was about a
10-year span where new shows with all
African-American casts seemed to be
popping up on a weekly basis. We were
moving forward in Black Hollywood
and then it just stopped all of a sudden in
2000, and the greed started again. They
[White Hollywood] don’t want us to

else to have something is called greed.”
Davidson starred in a variety of hit
urban films in the ‘90s, including Strictly
Business, Booty Call, and Bamboozled.
“I had a great time making each of those
films,” Davidson added. “I learned a lot
about myself, my cast mates and this
industry during those days, but I’d have
to say some of my greatest lessons came
from Keenan Ivory Wayans. He’s just a
very smart man. He can do it all.”
Although it’s been years since the
original cast of “In Living Color” has
worked together, they still all keep in
touch. “We’ve of course all gone down
our own paths in life, but it’s nothing
but love between us,” Davidson stated.
“We’ll always be family.”
Life has certainly changed for the
comedian since his debut, but his career
has flourished in a variety of roles
that range from stand-up comedy and
acting to music. He recently starred in
I Am Comic with Sarah Silverman, Jeff
Foxworthy, Kathy Griffin and other top
comedians. He is also set to co-star in
Chicago Jones, a comedy, which also
features Cedric the Entertainer, that is
slated to hit theaters next year.
But next on his schedule is a trip to
the District, where he will perform at the
DC Improv. The multitalented performer,
who was born in the District and was
adopted by a White family in Bethesda,
Md., said he will always appreciate the
DMV. “I love coming home,” Davidson
said. “D.C. always shows me love and
there’s nothing like home.
“I’m blessed. I’m able to travel all
around the country and even different
parts of the world doing what I love. I’m
happy to still have a stand-up routine
that’s genuinely funny and makes people
laugh from the time they step in the door
until the time they walk out. This industry
is not always easy, but it sure is great.”
Tommy Davidson performs at the DC
Improv, 1140 Connecticut Ave., N.W.,
Sept. 9-12. For more information and

‘Country Boy’ Talks Growth and New Album
By Gregory Dale
AFRO Staff Writer
It has been quite a decade
for Calvin Richardson. The
southern-born singer got his
start in the music industry at a
young age and since has been
on a steady ascent.
In addition to releasing
four solo albums over his
10-year span, the native
North Carolinian has penned
a collection of many well-
known songs for other artists
including the Grammy-
nominated hit, “There Goes
My Baby” by legendary R&B
singer Charlie Wilson.
Now in preparation for
the release of his latest effort,
America’s Most Wanted,
Richardson spoke to the
AFRO about his growth in the
industry as well as his plans
for the future.
AFRO: How did you get
your start in singing?
CR: I started off singing
in a gospel quartet in church
with my brothers. After that,
I went to high school and
got in a group with K-Ci and
Jo Jo before they formed
Jodeci. Then, I put a group
together and we were signed
to Tommy Boy Records. After
the group dismantled, Heavy
D signed me to Uptown
Records and my first project,
Country Boy, came out in
1999.
AFRO: Explain your
growth as an artist starting
from your first album, to
“America’s Most Wanted.”
CR: Country Boy was
obviously my first solo project
in the industry and I was on
a major label and you don’t
Calvin Richardson
have as much creative control
when you first start out. I did
a lot of writing on Country
Boy, but they brought other
people in for the production.
Now, I’ve grown pretty much
as a writer and a producer.
This new project that I have,
I pretty much produced and
wrote the whole thing.
AFRO: What do you enjoy
the most, writing or singing/
performing?
CR: I’m a performer and

a singer first. I think writing
was second for me and I had
to develop that. I love writing
music and hearing other
people [sing my songs] is
great, but singing is really my
first love.
AFRO: Can you explain
your process when you’re
about to write a new song?
CR: I have a writing room
in my house and that’s where
I do all my recordings and
vocals. But I’m inspired every
day by different things I go
through or different things
that people close to me deal
with that I feel is worthy of
being spoken about. There’s
no real process, it’s just
whatever the creative vibe is
when I go into the studio.
AFRO: You’ve been in the
industry for over a decade.
Where do you see yourself in
the next 10 years?
CR: In the next few
upcoming years, leading
up to those 10 years, I will
definitely be putting out a
couple more albums, I’m
sure. [Also], I want to be
responsible for other artists
that are coming up that share
the same type of ideas and
the creative spirit that I have.
I want to be responsible for
putting music out there and
being the voice of music with
substance—real soul and
good music. That’s what I
want to do.
“America’s Most Wanted”
will be released on Aug.
31 on Shanachie Records.

BET Documentary Spotlights
Women in Hip Hop
In today’s hip hop landscape, women are usually the bodies
before the camera rather than the emcees behind the mic—but
it wasn’t always that way.
In the fledgling days of hip hop pioneering female artists
such as MC Lyte, Missy Elliott, and Queen Latifah helped
define and reshape the music. Some three decades after the
birth of the genre, however, female emcees are few, with artists
such as Nicki Minaj and Diamond holding the mic.
So why the paucity in female emcees? Does their meager
presence signal the eventual disappearance of women’s role in
hip hop?
On Aug. 30 BET Networks
presents a documentary that
promises to address those questions
and others. My Mic Sounds Nice: A
Truth About Women and Hip Hop
offers an in-depth look into the past
and present role of women in hip
hop—how they have influenced the
genre, how the genre have impacted
them and the gender-specific
differences in artistry, marketing,
promotion and economics that mark
the industry.
“This is a story that could not AFRO File Photo
be told by one voice. It required Celebrated rapper/
a chorus. And although this story actress Queen Latifah
is comprehensive, it is still likely is among the female
one of many truths about the emcees highlighted in
role of women in hip-hop,” said My Mic Sounds Nice.
Stephen Hill, president of Music
Programming and Specials, in a statement.
In presenting its truth, the documentary features revealing
interviews with journalists, executives, and rappers, including
Missy Elliott, EVE, Trina, Rah Digga, MC Lyte, Yo Yo,
Questlove; hip-hop moguls Jermaine Dupri, Russell Simmons,
Kevin Liles and many more.
“My Mic Sounds Nice: A Truth About Women and Hip Hop”

Pro Football Analysis

AFRO Looks Ahead at NFL’s Western Divisions
By Stephen D. Riley
AFRO Staff Writer
It wasn’t that long ago when the NFL’s Western divisions
were supercharged with power. The Seattle Seahawks and St.
Louis Rams were Super Bowl caliber and the Kansas City
Chiefs were annual playoffs contenders. But a lot has changed
in recent years, and many league analysts now view both
the AFC West and NFC West as the weakest divisions in the
NFL. Regardless of the overwhelming disdain of its Western
brethren, the San Diego Chargers remain as consensus Super
Bowl favorites year in and year out. And this season will be
no different as top quarterback Phillip Rivers returns for his
seventh season. There isn’t much to sift through in the West,
but the AFRO does it anyway:
AFC West
It seems no matter what the Chargers do, they’re going to
win the AFC West. San Diego has started the last three seasons
with a 4-5, 4-8, and 1-3 record and still went on to win the
division outright. The team is so confident in its approach
that it’s not expected to skip a beat even with the release of
longtime standouts LaDainian Tomlinson and Jamal Williams.
They also traded glitzy cover man Antonio Cromartie and
promising backup quarterback Charlie Whitehurst and could
be without the services of left tackle Marcus McNeill and
wideout Vincent Jackson due to contract disputes. Despite the
defections, the team is still plenty talented enough to possibly
hold off a charge from this year’s sleeper pick on most
analysts’ radars: the Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders haven’t flirted with high expectations for
years, but after a player release here and a player addition
there Oakland is back as a respectable team. The talent on the
offensive side of the ball is still desirable but a furious defense
and a competent coaching staff could propel the Raiders to a
strong finish.
As for the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos, both
teams are in transition. Gone are some of the star names
that have defined both teams for the past few years in Larry
Johnson and Brandon Marshall. And there are some names
that haven’t quite cracked into the mainstream member
association of the league in Jamal Charles and Jabar Gaffney.
The Chiefs and Broncos are going to take their fair share of
lumps, and the Chargers and Raiders are going to dish some.
But in a league that depends on well quarterback play, it
doesn’t get any better at the position out West than Rivers who
should help San Diego collect its fifth division title.
NFC West
The Arizona Cardinals had it all: an explosive aerial
attack, an attacking defense and the non-threat of any serious
contenders challenging them in the division. Then in one
summer, it all changed. Potential Hall of Fame signal caller
Kurt Warner retired, some key pieces to their defensive puzzle
left via free agency and the San Francisco 49ers emerged.
The 49ers finished 8-8 last season but some maturity and the
emergence of young stars have them pegged for first place.
San Francisco will infuse an average offensive line with
two first round rookies, while sophomore receiver Michael
Crabtree is expected to make serious strides after his first
full training camp. Crabtree missed the whole summer last
season in a lengthy contract dispute. Crabtree and running
back Frank Gore and tight end Vernon Davis make up one of
the most talented offensive trios in the league and could be
the best in the division. The 49ers defense finished fourth in
points allowed and sacks, and those numbers could improve as
the team settles into another season of its newly installed 3-4
defense.
The St. Louis Rams and Seattle Seahawks round out the
division as bottom feeders. The Rams are likely to struggle as
they introduce their rookie quarterback Sam Bradford to the
waiting defenses of the league. The Seahawks will introduce a
new head coach in former USC coach Pete Carroll and try to
keep injury-prone quarterback Matt Hasselbeck in one piece
to finish the year. San Francisco is the team to beat this season
out West and an improvement on last year’s record— coupled
with some heavy turnover by the Cardinals —should give the
team its first division title since 2002.
‘Different Strokes for
Different Folks’
I was all set to weigh in on the Brett Favre issue, when
news broke that Roger Clemens may be headed for the
slammer. For the past few years, Major League Baseball has
been conducting a hunt to expose the players who have been
using performance enhancing substances. According to the
powers that be, this is an effort to clean up the sport.
Those named have had to appear in front of a
congressional committee to testify. Clemens was among
those called, and he vehemently denied ever using such
a substance. It seems that evidence to the contrary has
appeared and Clemens is guilty of lying under oath. This
penalty can carry a sentence of up to 30-years.
Congressman Elijah Cummings expressed his doubts over
the truthfulness of Clemens’ statement when he testified.
Recently he stated that Clemens could have pleaded the
Fifth, and though the committee wouldn’t have liked it, they
couldn’t have done anything.
Barry Bonds is due for his day in court next month, and if
he is smart, he will cop a plea and go away quietly. Having
a little dirt attached to your name is a whole lot better than
having to spend some time behind bars.
There is a lesson to be learned from some of the other
notables who have had the finger pointed at them: Fess-up,
and after the dust clears your indiscretions are soon forgotten.
Rafael Palmeiro denied his involvement in performance
enhancing participation, but when evidence started to emerge
that he had lied before the committee, he turned into a snitch.
He said that he got the drugs from teammate Miguel Tejada.
From that point, he was blackballed from baseball.
Everyone connected with the sport has turned his back on
Raffy, and with a lifetime average greater than .300 percent,
500 doubles, 500 home runs, 1,500 RBIs and 3,000 hits, it is
still doubtful that he will make it to the Hall of Fame.

memorable battle with Sammy Sosa to break Babe Ruth’s
