Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:16:00 +0000 http://www.clintonherald.com/tribstar/from_the_press_box/local_story_299001726.html http://www.clintonherald.com/tribstar/from_the_press_box/local_story_299001726.html Donald Brown vs. Joseph Addai ... is it time for the debate over who should shoulder the Indianapolis Colts’ running load to begin? If Sunday was the time for the debate, it was over by technical knockout in the second quarter of the Colts’ 42-6 victory over the St. Louis Rams at the Edward Jones Dome. On Brown’s second run from scrimmage, he strained his left shoulder. He did not return and was not on the sideline during the second half.

Saturday’s 62-7 loss at No. 3 Northern Iowa was, unfortunately for the Sycamores, a fitting rotten cherry to go on a sundae that has been spoiled almost from drop. The nation’s longest losing streak? Still going strong.

Grief doesn’t stay faithful to a timeline. Grief can’t be codified. Grief is never, ever a one-size-fits-all proposition.

Without any offense to speak of — ISU had 90 yards of total offense against the Jackrabbits — the Sycamores had no chance.

It was a 10-point game deep into the third quarter before ISU eventually lost 30-10.

The bikes? At first glance, they don’t look all that impressive to the untrained eye. Really, they don’t look that much different from a spruced-up motorcycle you’d see flying past you on Third Street on a Saturday night.

A teammate of Ashley’s will be pitcher Stephen Strasburg, the Washington Nationals’ recent No. 1 draft pick. Strasburg signed a multimillion-dollar contract with the Nationals’ organization earlier this week.

It was the worst case scenario for the Sycamore program.

Staring at me … perhaps even taunting me. It was a set of golf clubs that had not been used in at least 10 years. I had taken them off my dad’s hands for reasons unbeknownst to anyone in my family considering I was approaching my second decade of having turned my back on the sport.

I wonder how Jeremy Mayfield is going to do? Never have I considered what the fan reaction to Mayfield at a race would be because I knew it would be polite applause followed by silence. It never crossed my mind to think of him as a contender, a pretender, or a factor in any way.
