It took a jury just a little more than a hour Friday to find Stephen Mills not guilty of rape. Judge Kathleen Bidegaray sent jurors in for deliberations just before noon, and they returned just after 1 p.m. with the acquittal. The verdict followed an emotional summation to the jury by Mills’ attorney, Jeremy Yellin, who told jurors he was going to cry no matter what the verdict was. “Tears of joy if you acquit him, tears of sorrow if you convict.” Yellin said the victim concocted the story because she was angry at Mills...

In a depressing accident of birth, like big feet and a location in southern something-not-Montana listed as my birthplace, I was born without a silver spoon. I would be an awesome rich person — generous, fun-loving, laid back, definintely not uppity, a philanthropist, for sure. Of course, I would be born WITH money in my scenario. Not make it. That’s an important point here. I’ve never been much of one for actually making money. I think that has to do with the whole accident of birth thing that I don’t have that drive f...

It is, after all, part of our h...

Because at that moment, I realized my generation was going to have not one, but two once-in-a-lifetime athletes, as eventually Woods joined Michael Jordan on that pedestal. Fast f...
