[The Slate] The Best In Sports In 7 Days

by Doctor S
November 4, 2009

Thursday, Nov. 5
Men's college basketball, Millsaps at Jackson State (7:30 p.m., Jackson): The Majors tangle with the Tigers in an exhibition contest.


Friday, Nov. 6
High school football, Provine at Ridgeland (7 p.m., Ridgeland): The Rams probably have to win this game to get into the playoffs. … MRA at Jackson Prep (7 p.m., Flowood, 103.9 FM, 970 AM): It's the Patriots vs. the Patriots in the first round of MAIS playoffs. Doctor S is boldly predicting a Patriots' victory.

Saturday, Nov. 7
College football, Alabama State at Jackson State (4 p.m., Memorial Stadium, Jackson, 1300 AM): The Tigers and the Hornets are both still in the running for the SWAC East title. Why? … Northern Arizona at Ole Miss (6:30 p.m., Oxford, CSS, 97.3 FM): The Rebels play another FCS (I-AA) team. The only reason this game is in the Slate is because it's on TV.

Sunday, Nov. 8
NFL football, Carolina at New Orleans (noon, Ch. 40, 620 AM): The Doctor goofed and has the Saints playing the wrong team in the print version of the Slate. No matter, the Saints will whip the Panthers, too. … New England at Indianapolis (7:20 p.m., Ch. 3): Peyton Manning and the Colts face their nemesis. Goodbye, winning streak?

Monday, Nov. 9
NFL football, Baltimore at Cleveland (7:30 p.m., ESPN, 930 AM): The Ravens will inflict cruel and unusual punishment on the hapless Browns.

Tuesday, Nov. 10
College basketball, Wesley at Belhaven (women, 5:30 p.m., and men, 7:30 p.m., Jackson): It's the Methodists vs. the Presbyterians in this interdenominational hoops doubleheader.

Wednesday, Nov. 11
NBA baskeball, Cleveland at Orlando (7 p.m., ESPN): The Cavaliers and the Magic meet in a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference finals.

The Slate is compiled by Doctor S, who can't believe the Philadelphia Phillies are so stupid.

The Patriots will win and otherwise beat up the Colts tomorrow and soften them up for us to kill later on should the need arise. Peyton's poor wheels won't suffice tomorrow. The Saints will lose too. Luck can't last forever! Hopefully, Cleveland will beat the Ravens, but even if they don't, I just hope they beat up the Ravens so as to keep them from having any dreams about defeating us, our World Champions, the Pittsburg Steelers.

[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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
