   CBS message boards

   Complete FAIL on CBS Sports part for eliminating their team message boards. I used to frequent the Lakers and Chargers message boards and found them very informative. I would visit them daily, which kept me on the CBS site much longer. Isn't that the point. Now I visit the scoreboards and not much else. This happened last month I believe. Anyone else notice?

    Name change for Redskins?

    A group of Native American activists has launched a court battle to deny the Washington Redskins federal trademark protection, which would pretty much force a name change. DC Councilman David Grosso says that the current name is "racist", and that it's "time for a change". Article http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2013-05-01/redskins-name-change-options-ideas-controversy-washington-dc-football-team List of non-racist names, some obviously not serious suggestions. http://theweek.com/article/index/102991/19-non-racist-names-for-the-washington-redskins

    They are the first California High School team to win the National Championship! Very exciting to us hockey fans/players, but... Team Captain Branden Vara was my neighbors' kid when I lived in Foothill Ranch. His folks let him come to a bunch of my games when he was a little kid, and it motivated him to start playing! He's looking at continuing his career at USC, San Diego, or Long Beach State. http://www.ocregister.com/news/game-500651-goal-first.html
