Brendan Sorsby was permanently banned from playing NCAA football after he admitted to betting on his team's games while playing for Indiana University.

Judge Ken Curry granted Brendan Sorsby an injunction in his case against the NCAA so that he will be eligible to play NCAA football next year.

In contrast, the clip below is from my father's 1957-58 NBA contract. It was probably included in the boilerplate after the NBA permanently banned Jack Molinas, Dad's Pistons teammate during the 1953-54 season. Most people have never heard of Jack Molinas because the NBA so effectively and completely handled his expulsion.

How can a judge not see the potential for corruption in allowing sports gambling by participants, something that has been seen as unacceptable since the 1919 Black Sox scandal?

@CptAllenHistory Shameful. I had dinner with David Stoliar, the lone survivor of the Struma. It is a true story that would be rejected in fiction as being too unbelievable because of the unthinkable human indifference and cruelty.

@trigonis30 Any word on his memorial?

@InsaneReality Frank Drown, a missionary in Ecuador from 1945 to 1982, said that sloths can have amazing quickness. He saw one drop from a tree and disembowel a dog in a flash with its massive claws.

@BBGreatMoments Not even the best of his generation. If you lived in that era, Mays was the alpha, Mantle was the beta, and Aaron, Clemente, Banks were terrific but not #1.

@keyshawn We obviously didn't hear her tone, but I get asked the same question if I'm moving past people in the lobby to try to find a to-go order in a sit down restaurant

@JovanHPulitzer @EmeraldRobinson I hope she does. Thank you for all you have done, Mr. Pulitzer.

Brilliant men. Neither man was an atheist, but neither truly considered the Bible, which explains the problem in Genesis. 3, and explains the solution with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Both men killed themselves in 2014.

Bob is a brilliant man. I only interacted with him once and he was terrific.

My father was a basketball player whose prime was in the 1950s. Dad developed ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), so we contacted Bob (a notable ALS expert) to see if we could film a clip of him interviewing Dad for an ALS Research fundraiser my sister was organizing.

Bob immediately volunteered, and we arrange the time to meet at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel when he was in Los Angeles.

Our cameraman was late, and Bob had to fulfill a dinner commitment with George Will. We thought there was no chance for the interview, but Bob changed the dinner location to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel and told us to get him when the interview area was set up.

I grabbed him from his dinner with Mr. Will, and Bob asked me to give him a fire hose synopsis of Dad's career while we walked to the filming location.

Mr Costas remembered all the relevant details and incorporated them into the interview while gently appealing for support for research for this deadly disease. He could not have been more gracious or kind.

It is hard to watch this footage of him over 20 years later being so irrational.
