		<description><![CDATA[ESPN&#8217;s Outside the Lines has done a pretty good piece on former Florida State safety and Rhodes Scholar Myron Rolle. It&#8217;s well worth the read. I&#8217;ve spent a good bit of time with Myron&#8217;s brother McKinley, and I have a great deal of respect for the Rolles. I&#8217;ll say this: don&#8217;t doubt Myron in the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Lots of people have mocked Brett Favre the last few years for his retire, waver, unretire shenanigans, typically portraying him as indecisive or as a guy who just can&#8217;t stay away from the game. I&#8217;m convinced, however, that Favre is in no way indecisive; on the contrary, he&#8217;s just selfish (not really surprising; there&#8217;s a [...]

As a former skill-position player with relatively light skin, I can attest to everything he brings up, and I completely agree with the notion of the white running back (or wide receiver, or cornerback) as the &#8220;new black quarterback.&#8221; Even into [...]

		<description><![CDATA[It’s important to remember the humanity of these coaches. By having had the opportunity to be closer to Bowden than many (first as a player—though a walk-on who didn’t get to spend much time with Bowden—then as a member of the media covering the ‘Noles), I’ve noted for some years that Bowden’s best, freshest interviews come after wins. But after losses, the man’s memory tends to be even worse, and he looks older and more spent.
