Ohio State&#39;s season-making win over Michigan, defined by a 37-point explosion, was remarkable not just for the outpouring of points, but for the fact that the Buckeyes&#39; offense and quarterback Troy Smith showed a totally transformed personality compared

Running the country is no game. It just sounds like one sometimes. In the Bush White House, sports are a metaphor for life. Better keep up if you want to play.

&quot; I admit it, most of my notes for this game considered of &quot;IY Shannon&quot; and &quot;Mr. and Mrs. Dan Boxx.&quot; Oh, and looking up the United States all-time record for Olympic finals played in cities called &quot;Athens...&quot;. by Dan Loney. There&#39;s only one story this week

IT&#39;S back to Old Trafford for me tomorrow. Manchester United versus Arsenal. Should be a Premiership cracker. And I just hope to be walking off the pitch with better memories of the 90 minutes that have just

There was a nice little mini-drama last night with the Lakers playing in Seattle. Not as big of a deal as Kobe vs. Shaq or Kobe vs.

After spending a day with the old keyword page, and getting bored with it, I came up with a new way to look at news, something I've not tried before, that might be fun and/or useful http://nytimesriver.com/keywords.html  Since it's likely to change again soon, here's a screen shot. How it works. Every hour, as usual, it does the nytimesriver scan. Every story is linked to in the database undern all the keywords it references. Then the report, in HTML, is prepared, with the keywords in the left column, and links to all the stories in the right colum. The list is sorted by number of references, the keywords with the most references appear at the top of the list.  So today, baseball is the top item, with 15 references. The teams, the Cleveland Indians and Colorado Rockies, rank high. For some reason (heh) the Boston Red Sox don't appear, even though they're still in it, and the Yankees, even though they've been eliminated (yay!) are near the top at position 10.  It's another leaderboard! (Oh shit.) The stories age, and are removed after 24 hours. After all this is news, not olds.  If you have comments, post them under the screen shot, linked above. PS: Note that since the list just started up today, the initial stories, even though some are already 24 hours old, will remain in the queue until tomorrow morning at this time. So the list will be artificially fat today, it'll thin down tomorrow.
