Several players, administrative staff and coaches’ spouses said passengers were hurled out of their seats and hit their heads on the ceiling when the plane dropped while making an approach through a lightning storm.

Several years ago I met a guy who had been a well known consultant in the automotive industry. Auto manufacturers in Detroit knew him well. Even though this was long before today’s high security in every workplace you could not just walk in off the street into the Ford research lab.

LAFAYETTE, La. — The first black head football coach at any major Louisiana university has won a $2 million judgment in a lawsuit claiming that the University of Louisiana at Lafayette fired him because of his race, not because his teams lost 80 percent of their games.
Jurors found that Jerry Baldwin’s race wasn’t the only reason he lost the job, but was among the reasons. University officials broke his contract and inflicted emotional distress through negligence, according to the jury of six whites and six blacks.

Robinho showed us some incredible Brazilian skills, lollipopping an Ecuadorian defender to death. But this footage of Coritiba's Ricardinho taking a corner kick proves that Brazilians are human too. Some of them can't even take corner kicks without giving away throw ins.
Spotted at The Offside.
