When UCF appealed its bowl ban to the NCAA, it seemed ridiculous.
So ridiculous that CBSSports.com columnist Dennis Dodd called for UCF coach George O'Leary to be fired then and there. There was reason aside from the bowl ban and appeal.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg's ban on large sodas and sugary drinks in New York City was slated to go into effect Tuesday, March 12. But in something straight out of a Law and Order episode—yes, in my mind, every legal issue that happens in NYC immediately triggers the signature L&O*"bom bom"—the...

In Iran, 36 universities have banned 77 courses of study to women, including literature, archaeology and engineering. And not only that, the National Nursing Association of Iran has banned male nurses. Apparently women aren't fit to become engineers or writers...but they're the only people...

New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, is certainly stirring up a lot of controversy over his proposal to ban large sugary drinks. It's something that makes a lot of sense in order to start fighting this war on obesity. But sodas are not the only sugar-laden products that are just plain crappy...
