...Still, the troubles continue. In 2006, 13 Hurricanes players were suspended after a vicious on-field brawl and Coker actually had to set a team policy that players not own or carry firearms. Coker (who arrived at UM in 2001) has since been fired, replaced by former UM linebacker Randy Shannon. Under Shannon, whose hiring has been widely applauded by observers like Lapchick, there have so far been no embarrassing incidents. Unfortunately, there haven't been as many wins either: the 'Canes had a losing season this fall, look unlikely to receive a bowl invitation and haven...
...worthwhile debate. The event kicked off with the usual Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.)-bashing focused on her lack of firm positions. Unfortunately, the question CNN anchor Campbell Brown asked to foster discussion on the topic was so politically charged that all we saw was a brawl between Sen. Clinton and Sen.

But the Celtics landing Kevin Garnett was Paris Hilton joining a convent. Suddenly the C's have the strongest Eastern Conference lineup, which may be a bit like being the tallest Munchkin, but it's still amazing for a sports town that seemed cursed for so long. Still, on the surprise scale these individual moves are dwarfed by the possibility of the Celts, Red Sox and Patriots celebrating championships at the Romney White...
Like drunks in a rough pub on a Saturday night, Britain's political leaders look to be itching to start a brawl. British political life is always fractious at this time of year - it's when the major parties hold their conventions in rapid sequence - but this fall the insults are flying faster and nastier than usual. The atmosphere is febrile. Politicians of all stripes believe there's a good chance that Gordon Brown, 56, who in June took over as Prime Minister from Tony Blair without a fresh mandate from British voters, will early next week call a snap...
