Because it's a sport that involves going upwards of 40 mph while balancing on two square inches of rubber, crashing is to cycling what fumbling is to football, what getting stuffed is to basketball, and what a ground ball between the legs is to baseball -- eventually, it happens to everyone.

This past weekend, students and community members gathered together on the Upper Quad for Relay for Life, a worldwide fund raiser that supports cancer research. Despite unpleasant weather, the event raised at least $37,000, and for 12 hours the quad was alive with galvanized and dedicated students, free food, live bands and even a guy who would pay you $20 if you could beat him at Mario Kart. By all means, the event was a huge success.

If there's anything to be learned from the sixth-seeded Pittsburgh Steelers' Super Bowl season, it's this: the end of the season is the only part that matters. The Steelers won the last four games of the regular season to barely clinch a spot in the playoffs and then amazingly rattled off three-straight road victories to get to the championship game in Detroit.

College basketball hasn't really excited me ever since all of the good young players started making a mad dash for the NBA. On a related note, I've lost interest in the NBA ever since it became full of untalented wannabes who clearly made the jump to the pros before they learned how to pass the ball.

Generally, I put nothing but the utmost faith in the fine people in charge of programming at ESPN. I'll watch anything they put on TV. I watched almost all of Four Minutes, even though it was terrible. I watch Around the Horn,even though I still don't really understand how it works.

Last week, I finally got the Red Sox to win game six of the 1986 World Series. It took a couple of tries, but with my help, they did it, eking out a 3-2 victory over the Mets. You'll never believe this, but the Red Sox scored the tying run in the eighth off an error on an easy play at first base.

Sure, Baltimore has its share of problems. Public transportation is a joke. The city continues to rack up superlative numbers for crime, drugs and diseases.
