Thirteen years later, Orenthal James Simpson has been found guilty of a major crime. In 1995, Simpson was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her boyfriend Ron Goldman, and was found liable for damages in a 1997 civil court case. Found guilty on charges of kidnapping and armed robbery, Mr. Simpson's prosecution had a few bumps what with trouble seating jurors and the victims either contradicting themselves or turning against the prosecution.

Those who thought the time of Muhammad Ali's use of the athletic bull pulpit to further a social agenda were dead...were wrong. While issues of race bubble just under the surface of the many sports related issues, few athletes today have the balls to make honest observations of the world around them.

Cory Fidler's life is over almost before it began. The five-year-old preschooler from Kannapolis, North Carolina died as a result of a freak accident during a Motocross race at Parker Valley Motorsports Park in Cleveland County. No, it wasn't a case of a motorbike going out of control and striking Fidler in the crowd of on-lookers. As it turns out, Fidler was one of the contestants, struck by a 12-year-old competing on the same track. The accident has the park operator expressing his sorrow about what happened at the same time Fidler's parents openly blame the park for failing to "take precautions." It has people from the Motocross world defending the sport as "no more dangerous than any other sport your children could be involved in." Finally, it has North Carolina legislators looking into whether some age limits ought to be set for what has become a hugely popular sport.

It was a simple and seemingly clever idea from the marketing folks at Masterfoods USA, maker of the Snicker's candy bar. Premier a new commercial during the Super Bowl showing two manly men working on a car, have them accidentally "kiss" while eating a Snicker's bar, and then direct viewers to a website (the astutely named afterthekiss.com) to see alternate endings of what happened "after the kiss."

"We won enough games to get in the playoffs. It's very simple," said Kansas City Chiefs headcoach Herm Edwards in reaction to talk that his team had "lucked into" the National Football League's playoff "tournament." It might not have been quite that simple but that hardly mattered to Edwards as his team became the twelfth and final franchise to punch their ticket to "the show." By the time the Denver Broncos blew their season's final home game to San Francisco in overtime, eleven other teams had already clinched the opportunity to continue playing in January for a chance at the NFL's Super Bowl, the world's most watched television event.
