Both Grant Marshall of the New Jersey Devils and Mike Leclerc, left, of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim know their way around an NHL rink. But both grinders haven't spent a lot of time in the spotlight. That has changed this spring as both forwards have played big roles in their teams' success. ...more |

Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor and linebacker Zach Thomas will be in Germany to visit United States military men and women on behalf of the USO and the NFL, May 15-18. "I am pleased that Zach and Jason will represent the NFL and let the troops know how appreciative and proud we are of them," said Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who went on a similar trip with Jerome Bettis and Eddie George last year. |

This is our picture of the week. This may seem like a boring picture, but this is a picture of Free Iraqi's practicing soccer without fear of Saddam Hussein or any of the thugs of his regime. Thank you to all our brave men and women for their sacrifice and service to not only America, but for the freedom of oppressed peoples around the world. "Thank You" goes out to our allies as well.

The first (ancient Greek) Olympic games were held in 776 B.C. There was only one event - a one-kilometre footrace down the centre of the stadium in Olympia. Even though "Shoeless Joe" Jackson was barred from baseball's Hall of Fame for his role in the 1919 "Black Sox" scandal, his shoes can be found there. Although 24 out of the 30 current National Hockey League teams are located in America, all NHL jerseys are manufactured in Canada. American football has the highest injury rate of any sport, with a rate 12 times higher than basketball, the next most injurious sport. Most NFL players eventually suffer a career-ending or career-shortening injury sometime in their career. For the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, the Roman Olympic Organisation Committee made a deal with the Association of Roman Thieves not to engage in street thefts during the Olympics. So, during the games, occurrences of pickpocketing, purse snatching, and holdups were at a low. |

COACHES CORNER: ASK MA! |
![](http://www.mojo2001.com/misc/coaches1.gif) |
Welcome To The Coaches Corner! Think you have issues? Please take time to see how Ma answers questions for famous athletes, coaches, and wannabes. Perhaps you can spot someone you know! |
You have issues? Ma has answers! |
Dear Ma,
I am a former figure skater with a "checkered" past. I have tried to live down that infamous day when another figure skater was taken out by my ex-husband and a "friend". Since that time, I've had a very rough life. I've tried acting, singing, boxing, and other activities to support myself. I've had to live in my car and suffer humiliation as a poster girl for the "WHITE TRASH" camp. I'm trying to "reform" myself and I wanted your perspective on what I can do to help myself. Sincerely, Trailer Trash Tonya Dear Trailer Trash Tonya, Where do I begin? To state that your life is a mess would be to state the obvious. What you need is a shrink, a shrink's couch, and lots of Prozac. That would be a good start. Second, you need to get into one of those support groups for people with neurotic personalities. Find out which one Amy Fisher and Joey Buttafucco are in and then join immediately. Or, if you can find the one where O.J. Simpson is a member..you'd be better off. I just had a chat with the MAN upstairs and he assures me that you do have a redeeming quality. Although, I'm not sure that you should work anywhere near a crowbar. So? That leaves you with two options for employment: Bill Clinton's intern or one of Hans Blix's weapons inspectors. Neither one of those jobs requires a good education, good breeding, or common sense. As a matter of fact, the dumber you are the better. NEXT! Dear Ma,
I am the former Heavyweight champion of the world. I am currently entangled in some legal issues with some of my babies mamas. I also have an issue with the Nation Of Islam. (I converted to Islam during one of my "vacation" stays in the big house.) They seem to think that Allah needs more money. I disagree. Also, I'm feeling self conscious because a lot of people make fun of my voice. They say I talk like a crack baby. That really hurts a gentle guy like myself. I just need love. I'm writing to ask you if I will ever find the right woman and whether or not I will beat Evander Holyfield? Sincerely, Talking Tyson Time! Big Upz Ma! Dear Mike Tyson, Please see my above response to your fellow neurotic athlete, Tonya. I'm not sure I get paid enough to be your Ma, shrink, mentor, babysitter, career counselor, common sense reality checker, or your babbling know it all. Since you asked, I will deliver. Legal issues and Mike Tyson? That would have been your legacy, but then you had to go out there and outdo yourself. I think the whole world feels you have an ear fetish now. If not, you obviously didn't get enough food when you were a baby. Who would think of biting someone's ear in the ring? Only you baby!! Your trouble with women is well documented. Did you ever think about actually dating any of these women prior to breeding with them? It usually helps with the whole bonding issue. As for the Nation of Islam, well they have their own issues to worry about these days. Hustling money that you supposedly don't have isn't one of them. As for your speaking like a baby, is that what gets women to breed with you? It's gotta be something. I'm guessing that could be it. Every girl loves baby dolls as youngsters. I guess they must have thought you were it. Little did they know, huh? Just remember to keep a shrink on staff and your lawyer on call. The drama in your life would take weeks to sort out. I don't have that much time and The Kid doesn't pay me enough to do it. If you need a job that badly, you could always do the WWF thing. They'd love to have you. |
UNTIL NEXT WEEK! |

HOWDY!
While I'm not a regular poster over here, I will come over from time to time, but I'm over at so many threads that I can't be a regular on them all. But I do miss my buddies over on the Canteen. Hope you all have a great day!

Amen to that...I have the feeling if your 'rotten kid' even thought about getting involved in some of the nonsense that's been going on, you'd know about it before he did and would put a stop to it in no time flat!

Got that right!
I surprise him at times...(he doesn't know, nor does my wife, about some of the stuff I did when I was in high school), he'll be telling me something about where him & his buddies are going or doing, & I'll make some remark about "Don't even think of doing whatever!" & he'll just look at me, like, how did I know about that! LOL!

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION
The light of God surround you The love of God enfold you The power of God protect you The presence of God watch over you Wherever you are,God is, And all is well. Amen.
Bless This House
Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.
