Sports writers are an interesting bunch, aren't they? I read many every day. As a USC Trojans football fan living in New Jersey, I'm online everyday reading the LA Times and the LA Daily News. I've come to the conclusion in recent weeks, the LA Times writers simply hate Pete Carroll and do not like the Trojans program. I base this on a season's worth of coverage including consistent dooms day predictions of the Trojans season. The LA Daily News, I believe has been far more objective. They too have pointed out negatives, as they should about USC this season, including…

If this has been the worst sports fandom year of my life (which it was as a Padres-Raiders-USC Trojans fan), then today, Thursday, 12/4 was the worst day of my sports fandom year. Why? Because my San Diego Padres, in their effort to have a lower pay roll than the Little League World Series Champions from Hawaii, have helped their payroll slashing mission by trading shortstop Khalil Greene to the St. Louis Cardinals for two pitching prospects.Greene has been my favorite pro athlete for the last few years. He was a Padre for starters. He played the shortstop defensively as good as any other SS…

It's lunacy. It's madness. Here we are at the point of the NCAA Division I-A football season where you just knew back on Labor Day Weekend, there'd be some people who just got off with stolen money (Oklahoma fans), others who have been mugged (Texas fans), others saying how the f!#$ did we lose to those guys two months ago (USC fans like me), and even those who still think they deserve the bid for the worthless Bowl (Notre Dame fans).There are a lot of other issues involving our game right now tonight other than the broken down, ignorant, money-controlled BCS "system.…

Much appreciated Keith. I don't take kindly to being accused of and ridiculed for making comments someone else actually made, but if it was an honest mistake I can deal with that.

You should just change your name to EastCoastPoser How can you live in NJ and like USC? or any other CA team? Seriously, you deserve to move to San Diego county like you said and live with all the rest of the classless, airheaded bafoons, and illegal immigrants. You're a poser Keith! Get a life!

You need to wake up and realize that classifying Yankee fans one way is basically the same as classifying black people one way. You preach "class" and tolerance, and you say we should remember Roberto Clemente for the way he fought racism. Maybe you should wake up and realize that what you're saying is equally as ridiculous as the Yankee fans booing Hawkins. Hawkins is an awful pitcher. We were booing him because he sucks. We were never booing him for taking Paul O'Niell's number, and I'm not sure where you got that idea...Oh well, Yankee haters will make up anything and everything to make us sound like pigs. In addition, stop comparing New Jersey to New York. New Jersey is like the uncultured, uneducated third wheel of the tri-state are that doesn't get any of the jokes. New York City and Connecticut are classy places with classy people, New Jersey is a garbage can. If you want to move to San Diego, go ahead. Your shallowness and classlessness will fit right in with there,

Just read the comment you left on my Profile. I appreciated the humor and the lack of malice. I've only gotten into one political debate on T&R and I wish I hadn't. Not the right place. In fact, I don't like debating politics at all. We each hold to our core beliefs and we're not going to change that with debates. So we should leave well enough alone on T&R and stick to the Sports jabbing, which is fun. Thanks again for your comment. I did enjoy it. P.S. I have those public education types in my family.I Guess I'm the black sheep. :)
