Joe Mayes's Team Headlines:
“Deterring bad behavior”
I'm a proponent of the death penalty, and I say that fully aware that most criminologists do not believe it stops crime. In fact, according to a study published at Northwestern University School of Law’s Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, 88 percent of the coun ...

Slap on the wrist or slap in the face?
I hope you all missed me last week. While Wilbricht, Bialy and the boys held it down here, I was off in Vegas…and that’s all I have to say about that. While I was gone, I missed the thrilling conclusion to one of the NFL’s saddest disciplinary stories of the year: The ...

Pipp Pipp, Hooray! for these backups
Because I’ve been dwelling on the negative more often than not recently, I thought I’d switch it up a bit…sort of. And to do so, I’m also going to switch sports. Go figure. Those who know of the legend of Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig know that June was a big month in his i ...

When did the “Williams Wall” become the wailing wall?
Never would I be one to hate a rule breaker for getting off on a technicality. After all, I did formerly work for World Wrestling Entertainment -- and if you followed WWE’s recent tiff with the Denver Nuggets and/or saw their “portrayal” of Nuggets owner E. Stan Kroenke ...

2009 could be a breakout year for wide receivers
Every year, there are a bunch of players who are predicted to have breakout seasons in the NFL. In that vein, 2009 could be the year of the wide receiver. Much like Roddy White and Wes Welker in the last couple years -- and the likes of Kevin Walter and Bernard Berrian ...
