This week has seen the infantile outburst of Charles Schumer, a Democratic Senator for New York State, writing to Prime Minister, Gordon Brown "demanding" that Abdul al-Megrahi be returned from Libya to prison. Ah, New York, New York. Remember the days of the 1980s when people of New York City dug deep into their pockets to give money to NORAID, and for the "armed struggle"- i.e....

By Dave Zirin When Rush Limbaugh was unceremoniously dumped in his efforts to secure a minority share of the St. Louis Rams, he may have been little more than collateral damage in a brewing collision between NFL owners and the NFL Players Association. After the union raised objections, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell squashed Limbaugh like a waterbug. Given the potential conflict brewing between NFL...

I'm a bit late to the party here, but I wanted to take the opportunity to gloat about free stuff review a copy of Peter King's book which was sent to me by Sports Illustrated Books. King is a guy I've read infrequently over the years in Sports Illustrated—mostly in doctor's office and at the dentist's, because I never had a subscription—but I liked his columns enough to sit down and read...

From Media Matters: After the Department of Justice announced it would move toward convicting 9/11 terrorists in a New York City courtroom, Congressional Republicans raced to condemn the decision. Because Republicans believe that their political fortunes improve when...

Of all the arguments made criticizing the decision to "prosecute... the self-described mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, in a Manhattan federal courtroom", the idea that it's intolerable because (in the words of New York Representative Peter King) "We should not be increasing the danger of another terrorist strike against Americans at home and abroad,” has to be the most adorable....

Here in New York, the Obama Administration’s decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other Al Qaeda terrorists in the civilian justice system in downtown Manhattan has garnered plenty of well-earned criticism, including from New York’s leading anti-terrorism experts like Rudy Giuliani, Michael Mukasey (who handled the blind sheikh trial as a district judge before becoming President...

Peter King on John Gruden's time away from coaching: I also really like how he's taken the year for some continuing education about football. We talked about the spread offense and how much he's learned about it from reaching out to college coaches. "I've really learned a lot from [Oregon...

I love Peter King's Monday Morning Quarterback column. It's one of the things that I look forward to every week. Peter has great sources, lots of interesting material and he writes well. And he has, at his fingertips, all of the conventional wisdom of life in the NFL, even the conventional wisdom that contradicts the other conventional wisdom. I know that this reeks of damning with faint praise, but...
