Former Denver cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed early on the morning of
January 1, 2007. He was 24.
* The passing of Darrent Williams really vexes me to end. I hate guns and the debilitating effect they have on society. Although I’ve never lived in the inner city anywhere, I do recognize guns perpetuate violence rather than quelling it. As spiritual beings living the human experience, we, as a society, have become prey to its toys. Guns represent just one toy in the complex domination of material taking place today, which must be halted by a decisive paradigm shift.
As a man, I don’t see the logic whereby stating that having a piece makes you more of a men. If anything, it’s the opposite way around because the gun is doing the talking and not the man.
Quick Hits
* Did Nick Saban fail in the NFL? While it’s not quite what Dan Le Batard indicates from his rumblings, but Saban did have a losing record in the NFL. He also has a knack for changing jobs frequently. If he stays at Alabama for four years, you can call him Larry Brown. If he stays for all eight years of the $32 million contract and purchases feminine frames for glasses that he may own in the future, you can also call him Larry Brown.

* Notre Dame is exactly who we thought they were – one who defeats inferior teams and gets handled by superior teams. Next year is what I’ll call Year 1C for Weis. It’ll be his 3rd with the Fighting Irish, but his first with a majority of the players he recruited.
* On the college hardwood, two key results have occurred over the past two nights. On Tuesday, Texas A&M downed Winthrop by double digits. It was a game that A&M absolutely had to dominate, as the Aggies to win against a quality opponent. Last night, The University [of Virginia] throttled Gonzaga, who must be exhausted be gasping from all the travel. Mr. Jefferson’s squad hit 18 three-pointers and put up a 60-spot in the first stanza. For those keeping score at home, one more bad game from Josh Heytvelt and I'll go back to calling him "Shite-velt".
