Every game now has an increased significance, and when you get to the final game of a series there is nothing else like it in sport. When both teams face elimination the level of play is raised to extraordinary heights.

The Death Of Jim Valvano, Richard C. Crepeau May 1993

The Death Of Jim Valvano, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Normally the Catholic Church requires a certain passage of time, as well as evidence of the performance of three miracles, before anyone is presented for canonization to sainthood. Apparently ESPN's standards are not quite that high, as the network canonized Jim Valvano last week following his death. Although Valvano had at least one miracle to his credit, the winning of the 1983 NCAA basketball championship with the miracle shot against Houston as time ran out, it still seems unlikely that he is the stuff out of which saints are made.

Fantasy League Baseball, Richard C. Crepeau

I have a confession to make. I vowed I would never do it. It was just too twisted, too much of a perversion of a sacred American institution. But I did it, and I have been doing it for several years

The Mighty Ducks And The Marketing Of Sports Merchandise, Richard C. Crepeau Mar 1993

The Mighty Ducks And The Marketing Of Sports Merchandise, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Michael Eisner, the latest gentleman sportsman of our time, announced this week that the new Disney entry in the National Hockey League would be named after a film, and be called "The Mighty Ducks" of Anaheim. They will play in a facility called The Pond. And so with one sweep of his sleazy pen Eisner has degraded hockey and infringed on a fifty-year-old baseball cliche. "Ducks on the Pond" will never again sound the same.

This past weekend in one of those nameless faceless tennis tournaments that no one pays much attention to, Martina Navratilova made tennis history by becoming the oldest player to ever defeat a number one ranked player. At age 36 years, 3 months and 29 days, Martina beat the 19 year old Monica Seles in three sets, winning a third set tie breaker. This match ended Seles' winning streak at 34 matches.
