i was raised on texas rangers baseball but i stopped following the MLB when arod got traded to new york and im trying to re-enter it as a mariners fan now that i live in seattle but its kind of hard. the rangers own now and they really sucked when i used to follow them so i feel really awkward abotu getting back into them, like a fairweather fan but not really? the mariners suck so its more comfortable for me in a weird way but also like hard to get excited about completely uncharismatic losers. reminds me of aerdil actually.

baseball sucks, football owns, hockey owns. feels good to be a panthers fan for the first time since i was in middle school. ice in florida, what a concept

shermanstick, whats your source on abe elam being a rapist? i mean, there are plenty of terrible nfl players, and many of them rapists, but i havent heard anything about him

the scummiest has to be rae carruth, who got his friend to help him shoot his pregnant girlfriend - dont worry, the baby survived!

Elam, who rose above a crime-ravaged neighborhood in Riviera Beach, Fla., and endured family tragedies and refused to surrender when his career seemed over, has emerged as a solid starter for the Jets. He's coming off the best game of career, a seven tackle performance on Thanksgiving against the Cowboys, his former team.

This should be a feel-good story, but there's another side to it.

In April 2002, a Notre Dame junior named Lindsay Charles accused three football players of raping her at an off-campus house. A fourth, Elam, wasn't charged with rape, but was in the bedroom. Elam fondled her and wound up being convicted of sexual battery, a felony. The others walked away, no convictions.

Charles walked away a psychological mess, friends say, so afraid of retribution in the football-obsessed Notre Dame community that she legally changed her last name while finishing her undergraduate work. (She has since returned to her real name.) Years later, when Elam resurfaced, so did she, waging a smear campaign against him wherever he showed up on the football map.

"I feel sick to my stomach whenever I think about Abram Elam," Charles writes in an E-mail to the Daily News. "I am disappointed that an NFL team would sign a convicted sex offender, when there must be other talented men who have not committed heinous crimes. He belongs in a jail cell, not on the gridiron."

Elam is "a paper tiger," says Kathy Redmond, founder of the National Coalition Against Violent Athletes. She acknowledges that Elam "inflicted the least amount of damage" of the four, but she says his most egregious crime was not trying to stop the alleged rape and refusing to testify against the others.

"He could've made a difference if he had shown some courage, telling the whole story the way it really happened without having to feel like he ratted out his boys," says Redmond, who has worked closely with Charles since the incident.
With a hint of hopefulness in her voice, she adds, "There's no statute of limitations on him doing the right thing."

if the miami marlins didnt get such a banging new logo and ozzie guillen (love this mans grasp of english to death) then i would prolly be a tigers fan. i had one of those detroit tigers punchy things as a kid so that decides that
