...pilot, was killed there along with other shoppers when a deranged gunman opened fire. But Pearson soon finds out that the shooting wasn't so random, and that the mall provides far more than loyalty cards and a climate-controlled shopping environment. The Metro-Centre has its own sports stadium, its own soccer, rugby and ice hockey teams. Armies of their supporters wearing St. George's crosses - England's national flag - surge from mall to match to trashing immigrant neighborhoods. "Whenever sport plays a big part in people's lives," says an overworked doctor in the local casualty ward...
...tragedy, but acknowledged that Katrina was on all their minds. Even pre-Katrina, the production team had been fascinated by Huey Long’s relentlessness and track record for making things happen. Messer related a favorite story of his: when Louisiana State University would not fund a new stadium, Long requested money to build new dorms, arranged them in a horseshoe, and lined the inside with bleachers. The speakers said that Long and Stark were men who could make things happen, but declined to speculate on the Katrina aftermath. Ellwood’s final question to the panel directed...

Just ask fans in The Grove at Ole Miss, The Cage at Virginia Tech, or anyone within 10 miles of Bryant-Denny stadium in Alabama, and the lesson is clear: the tailgate as a social event is critical. What could possibly be better than people gathering together to celebrate how Harvard is clearly far superior to Yale?But the inevitable consequence of banning drinks, and the resulting drinking in houses, is that fewer...
...wore out his welcome in San Francisco - while a 49er he once stomped on the star at midfield in Texas Stadium - and was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. There his great play was again tempered by public lashings of his quarterback and criticizing his coaches. He made amends by playing while injured in the Super Bowl, but followed that up with a contract dispute with the Eagles, in part fueled by his equally outrageous agent Drew Rosenhouse. Things soured in Philly so much that he was then traded to the Cowboys. Things started fine there, but Owens missed most...
