Ha!! Where is all of the Ravens' trash talk now? Can't help it, since Art Modell pulled his bad on the Browns, do not like those Ravens--even cheer for the Browns against them, and that is something for an ardent Steelers fan.
Jim Traficant was a friend to my family long before he even became sheriff. I do not condone anything wrong that he may have done, but, I do not abandon my friends when they have troubles. Incidentally, there are killers who have spent less time in prison than Jim has. I think his trial was a travesty with all of the unsavory characters who could not kowtow to him enough when he was Congressman, but faced with possible federal indictment, they turned on him like vipers. I am sorry he made the mistake of defending himself--a good lawyer would have demolished those witnesses and forced the feds to prove every element of each crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Apparently, he did some foolish things, but did not deserve the harsh punishment he got. Have you never heard, "Judge not, lest ye be judged"?, and "With whatsoever measure you have meted out, it shall be meted out to you?" In that case, some of you should be fearful of your final judgment. He is still my friend and I will be glad to see him when he returns home.
