It's a place where a coach is a cult figure for hollering: "I'm a man! I'm 40!" And it's a place where a quarterback is a vagabond -- for not hollering back. 

Seven months later, the tirade of the century still has legs, and those legs are leaning against a rusted goalpost in Houston. The quarterback's name is Bobby Reid, and if his pulse is quick and his tongue is acid, it's because he's still stewing over the 3-minute, 20-second rant that "basically ended my life."]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.gosportslife.com/learn-something-new-each-day/2008/3/26/for-the-phinney-family-a-dream-and-a-challenge.html"><rss:title>For the Phinney Family, a Dream and a Challenge</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.gosportslife.com/learn-something-new-each-day/2008/3/26/for-the-phinney-family-a-dream-and-a-challenge.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Andy Kaasa</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-03-26T13:45:10Z</dc:date><dc:subject>Adversity Character Dream Hard Work Inspiration Parkinson’s</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[Like any proud father, Davis Phinney marvels at the man his son has become.

“Arguably, this is the most important game I’ve played in my Yankees career, because it makes you realize the important things in life and realize how fragile life can be,” Rodriguez said. “We’re all very proud to be here.”]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.gosportslife.com/learn-something-new-each-day/2008/3/13/to-an-athlete-dying-young.html"><rss:title>'To An Athlete Dying Young'</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.gosportslife.com/learn-something-new-each-day/2008/3/13/to-an-athlete-dying-young.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Andy Kaasa</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-03-13T21:14:32Z</dc:date><dc:subject>Adversity American Football Death</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[On Tuesday afternoon, I witnessed a superhuman act of strength. We were gathered inside the West Angeles Cathedral on Crenshaw Boulevard, a mammoth facility with a balcony and video screens that's like a concert hall crossed with a place of the Lord. Only a few funerals each month happen here, mostly for Los Angeles celebrities and people with ties to the church. For Johnnie Cochrane's funeral two years ago, every one of the cathedral's 5,000 seats was famously filled. It's the type of place you wouldn't expect to see a 17-year-old kid lying peacefully in a coffin, not unless he was related to a singer or a politician or something. But that's who was there, and that's who we came to see.]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.gosportslife.com/learn-something-new-each-day/2008/3/3/fallen-firefighter-louis-mulkeys-magic-takes-summerville-to.html"><rss:title>Fallen firefighter Louis Mulkey's magic takes Summerville to state title</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.gosportslife.com/learn-something-new-each-day/2008/3/3/fallen-firefighter-louis-mulkeys-magic-takes-summerville-to.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Andy Kaasa</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-03-03T02:19:25Z</dc:date><dc:subject>Basketball Death Influential People Inspiration</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[If you read the story about Louis Mulkey and the Summerville High boys basketball team playing for the South Carolina state championship, you are not going to believe this. 



Mulkey, you'll remember, was a fireman there in Charleston, and when he wasn't putting his life on the line, he coached football and basketball. The kids loved him, but when he died, they found a hole in their lives. Mulkey had always been there when things were down and when things seemed hopeless. Just a week ago, with the team's season on the ropes, the crowd at the semifinal game began chanting the coach's name: Lou-is Mul-key!]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.gosportslife.com/learn-something-new-each-day/2008/3/3/storybook-season-found-spark-in-firefighters-lost-life.html"><rss:title>Storybook season found spark in firefighter's lost life</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.gosportslife.com/learn-something-new-each-day/2008/3/3/storybook-season-found-spark-in-firefighters-lost-life.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Andy Kaasa</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-03-03T02:17:40Z</dc:date><dc:subject>Basketball Death Influential People Inspiration</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[Last weekend in Charleston, S.C., a bus carried the Summerville High basketball team to the state 4A semifinals.

His career, spent largely bouncing around minor leagues, had not taken him in front of the kind of players now judging his every move.

So Boudreau was amazed when one of the first players to shake his hand in the locker room that November day was Alex Ovechkin, the team’s outlandishly talented 22-year-old left wing.

“He walked up to me and said, ‘What do we do, Coach?’ ” Boudreau said. “That’s the way he is. He follows every direction. He does things superstars just don’t do.”]]></content:encoded></rss:item></rdf:RDF>
