At 15, Joe Nuxhall had to worry about a stadium full of fans urging him--as a relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds--to thwart the St. Louis Cardinals.

He didn't pitch again for the team for eight years, but Nuxhall, who in recent years was the radio-broadcast voice of the Reds, had become...

With the Patriots and Colts so superior in the NFL right now, and Brady and Manning so much the face of those franchises, fans take a little pass on that other stuff. And just look at the other non-criminals at the top of their games...

"It's harder to understand the science behind [Tasers] than to understand bullets or batons," says Scott Greenwood of the Cincinnati chapter of the ACLU. Tasers are the only stun gun that can be fired from a distance, and they deliver a high-voltage electric shock that momentarily paralyzes victims but doesn't kill them.
