Some smart people in horse racing insist this will be the last Breeders’ Cup raced over a synthetic surface, that the two-year run on Santa Anita’s Pro Ride track has been a disaster.

The more Alex Rodriguez tears up pitching in these baseball playoffs, the more he assumes a position as the classic steroids test case in this way:
There have been times over the past few years when I thought the rules of common courtesy and sportsmanship had all but disappeared from the sporting community, but something happened this past weekend that gave me cause to rethink that position. I’m not talking about anything spectacular or life altering, just a simple example of what it means to be a sportsman.
College football is not meant to be played in a stuffy boardroom, where everyone owns identical roles and each move is choreographed. It is not meant to possess the monotony of an upper division lecture on business law.
It was growing late Sunday evening, and the bulletin board wasn’t finished. Darwin Rost hadn’t yet attached all the newspaper clippings and combine numbers and statistics and other important information about the upcoming opponent’s top players.
It’s one thing to kick around a tomato can. Sticking an ugly black eye on a heavyweight contender, as Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints did Sunday, is a legitimate accomplishment.
There is a proverb about adversity that says if you faint in the day of it, your strength is small. Ernie Gonzalez believes he has help in such troubling times.
On second thought, perhaps Mike Sanford should remain UNLV football coach for the next decade or so. These 7 p.m. kickoffs can be tough on the ol’ deadline writing skills, but with the Rebels of late, you always have a pretty good idea where things are headed at halftime.
Expectation vs. reality. It’s a common encounter for UNLV basketball this time of year, for all college teams the second week of October.
Under ordinary circumstances, New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin always puts a well-prepared team on the field. With an extra week to break down and study an opponent, he’s that much sharper.
The kicks. Had to love them. They were silver and shaped in a way Ryan Moore could have played both 18 holes and a few hours of pickup basketball with no issues. It’s as if Fukijama went to work for Puma.
Are horse racing fans pessimists or optimists at heart? This year’s Breeders’ Cup offers a good litmus test.
By early December, you can bet Kobe Bryant will be asked about the Los Angeles Lakers’ chances of winning 70 games. It’s a question that needs not be asked until February or March, if it’s an issue at all.
Upland game bird hunters experienced mixed results Saturday when they took to the field for the opening day of quail and chukar season. Some hunters managed to put a few birds in their game bag, but they had to work for it.
