During the 1980s, Black athletes and other athletes of color broadened the popularity and profitability of major college televised sports by infusing games with a "Black style" of play. At a moment ripe for a revolution in men's college basketball and football, clashes between "good guy" white protagonists and bombastic "bad boy" Black antagonists attracted new fans and spectators. And no two teams in the 1980s welcomed the enemy's role more than Georgetown Hoya basketball and Miami Hurricane football. The Hoyas and the 'Canes made the bad-boy image look good. Pop culture took notice.

Un extraordinario relato para conmemorar los cien años de relación entre dos pasiones muy distintas pero cada día más inseparables; el fútbol y la literatura. En 1910, un lector escribió a Bohemia, una revista de arte solicitándoles que incluyesen el fútbol entre sus temas. Como respuesta, recibió una contundente negativa de sus editores: "La poesía y las patadas son incompatibles". Ocho años después, Horacio Quiroga publicó un cuento en otra revista, Atlántida.

Five-time Super Bowl champions the New England Patriots towered over them. But public opinion didn't matter to the Eagles.

In 1976, Vince Papale was a down-on-his-luck substitute teacher, part-time bartender, and season ticket holder for the Philadelphia Eagles, the team he'd grown up rooting for. He had always loved football, but the closest he'd ever come to playing on Sundays was in local rough touch leagues. Until fate stepped in. Vince was 30 years old and wondering what he would do with his life, when he heard that Coach Dick Vermeil was holding open tryouts for the Eagles.

To most of us "mainlanders," the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are resort destinations, summer homes for the Kennedys, the Obamas, and Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
