All the good work before it, all the good decades of good words and good syllables and good professionalism gets swallowed in a hiccup. How have we arrived in this place where so little dark can envelope so much light? http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/columnists/dan-le-batard/story/1298662.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/columnists/dan-le-batard/story/1298662.html Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:00 EDT Alex Rodriguez's year began with a confession that seemingly has set him free to turn around his October performance in the playoffs. So why does it seem the Yankees superstar is not finally at peace with himself? http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/columnists/dan-le-batard/story/1287747.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/columnists/dan-le-batard/story/1287747.html Sat, 17 Oct 2009 21:00 EDT Through his work as director of youth and community programs for the Dolphins, Twan Russell is making a difference for children in South Florida. His mother would be proud. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/columnists/dan-le-batard/story/1242063.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/columnists/dan-le-batard/story/1242063.html Sat, 19 Sep 2009 22:00 EDT Try putting on socks with no arms. For Hector Picard, who lost his arms 17 years ago, that's easy. Picard competes in triathlons, celebrates the possibilities of life and hopes to be an inspiration to others. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/columnists/dan-le-batard/story/1208917.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/columnists/dan-le-batard/story/1208917.html Sat, 29 Aug 2009 22:00 EDT The phone rings at 1 a.m. It is Tim James. The connection is tinny and echoing.<p/> How are you, Tim?<p/> ``It was 125 degrees yesterday,'' he says. ``I've never felt anything like that. It was like working inside an oven. It was 121 in the shade.'' http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/columnists/dan-le-batard/story/1198456.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/columnists/dan-le-batard/story/1198456.html Sat, 22 Aug 2009 22:00 EDT Roger Goodell? Good or evil? Well, not <I>him</I>. I'm sure he's a very nice man, although I do secretly wish for him to get in trouble with the law just to see if he would have to suspend himself with excessive force, too. Nothing major. Maybe just a couple of glasses of red wine at dinner that puts him at .09, results in a misunderstanding with police and ends with him being Tasered in the street. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/columnists/dan-le-batard/story/323315.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/columnists/dan-le-batard/story/323315.html Wed, 28 Nov 2007 03:01 EST Y ou remember him wrapped in so much armor. Muscles. Helmet. Padding. Distrust. The late Sean Taylor was known as one of the most menacing hitters in a violent game. But when the news organizations started putting his fresh face on TV screens in recent days -- no helmet, no scowl, no aura -- you couldn't help but notice this: My God, he looked like such a baby-faced child.
