[The Slate] The Best In Sports In 7 Days

by Doctor S
July 23, 2008

Thursday, July 24
NFL football, New Orleans Saints training camp (8:50 a.m., Millsaps, Jackson): Deuce McAllister and the Saints begin training camp on State Street.

Friday, July 25
Olympic basketball, United States vs. Canada (7 p.m., ESPN): The U.S. stars tune up for the Beijing Games. Besides Steve Nash, can you name anybody on Team Canada?

Saturday, July 26
Motor sports, Saturday night races (7 p.m., Jackson Speedway and Jackson Dragway, Byram): If you have a need for speed, you have two venues to choose from. Remember; leave the racing to the professionals. … PCL baseball, Tacoma at Memphis (6 p.m., Memphis, Tenn., CSS): This Class AAA game offers you the chance to see the St. Louis Cardinals’ stars of tomorrow and what’s possible when a city commits to building a modern downtown baseball park.

Sunday, July 27
Arena football, Philadelphia vs. San Jose in the ArenaBowl (2 p.m., New Orleans, Ch. 16): If you need a reason to go to New Orleans, watching the Soul play the Sabrecats is as good as any. At least it’s indoors. … Southern League baseball, Chattanooga at Mississippi (7:05 p.m., Pearl, 1590 AM): The M-Braves and Smokies open a series at Trustmark Park on a Family Fest Sunday.

Monday, July 28
High school football, MPSA preseason practice: Academy teams can begin preseason camps. Don’t forget the fluid, fellas.

Tuesday, July 29
Southern League baseball, Chattanooga at Mississippi (7:05 p.m., Pearl, 1590 AM): The M-Braves continue their playoff drive on Two for Tuesday. Shouldn’t they play a doubleheader?

Wednesday, July 30
Major league baseball, St. Louis at Atlanta (6 p.m., FSN/620 AM): Mississippi’s two favorite MLB teams meet in Hotlanta.

The Slate is compiled by Doctor S between recording sessions with Shaq.

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
Izzy: it's not enough to just study something - at some point you have to act. Systematic exclusion can be read as hatred, even when those involved in it do not feel it to be that. This is ...

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
J.T.: Wintrhop, your last sentence "I don't want a small and manageable God. I prefer one that I can't fully understand." bears out that we each have perceptions of God. And, when the ...

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
Wintrhop Sargent: Funny you should mention the gender issue of a deity. I was at lunch with a St. Andrews priest one time and a very conservative member of the Cathedral came to our table ...

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
Izzy: I wouldn't be too sure your church doesn't preach hate if your liturgy is not gender-inclusive. Think about it - is God really a "He" or a "Father"? Those are some images or visions of ...

baquan2000: Goldenae - you pointed out a key element in your post, "the point is that he would even suggest such a thing. And the sad part is that from the polls, the people ...

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
Wintrhop Sargent: WMartin - At the church I attend, St. Andrew's Cathedral, there is no teaching or preaching about hate (unless you include the teaching and preaching AGAINST hate). I'm ...

[Doyle] From Dixie, With Love
ladd: A fail-safe principle I've always sworn by: If the Kluckers agree with me about something, I need to rethink it.

[Doyle] From Dixie, With Love
Goldenae: I would truly be ashamed of myself if I looked at life and others the way the some people do. Some folks can not put themselves in another person's shoes to save their lives. It is ...

Barbour Wants to Merge State's Black Universities
Goldenae: Why is it so hard to understand that regardless of what we would like to think, there are different standards. That is quite obvious in Barbour's suggestion of ...
