Homeland Security doubted the credibility of a recent threat made on a Web site, claiming seven NFL football arenas — including Houston's Reliant Stadium — will be hit with a radiological dirty bomb on Sunday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Abe Martinez, who oversees terrorism investigations in the Houston area, said the agency's preliminary determination is that the threat doesn't appear to be real.
Nonetheless, in an abundance of caution, federal authorities alerted local law enforcement and the seven NFL stadium owners about the Web site warning.
This included stadiums not only in Houston, but also New York, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Oakland and Cleveland.
The threat was part of an ongoing Internet conversation titled "New Attack on America Be Afraid."
It was posted on an English language Web site located at www.thefriendsociety.com on Oct. 12.
While the author has not been identified, authorities have traced the site's Internet provider back to Voxel Dot Net Inc., which has support and engineering staff based in Troy, N.Y.
The author has given his name on the Web site as "javness."
The posting claimed "dirty" bombs would be delivered in trucks and detonated outside these seven stadiums at NFL games this Sunday.
"Due to the open air, the radiological fallout will destroy those not killed in the initial explosion. The explosions will be near simultaneous, with the cities specifically chosen in different time zones to allow for multiple attacks at the same time," one Web posting indicated. |

The Falcons are morally bankrupt, weak on defense, and want to cut and run. |

This cannot be taken seriously as any football fan would know that no one will be at the Oaklnad Stadium watching the hapless raiders. |

Miracle Stroke Recovery for Keith Richards
Seattle (AP) After thousands of witnesses in Chicago
flooded the offices of Rolling Stones tour producer
Michael Cohl with desperate pleas to remove guitarist
and stroke victim Keith Richards from the stage and
get him into a hospice immediately so that fans could
begin the grieving process, the ever resourceful Mr.
Cohl instead flew Mr. Richards by top-secret Canadian
Air Force jet to Switzerland where he underwent a
revolutionary and controversial brain cell transfusion
to replace the injured parts of his brain with fresh
cells from the body of a recently deceased (via car
crash) 17 year old exotic dancer. The results, less
than one week later, are nothing short of spectacular...

The bomb threats were found to be false. Why did they post them without checking the authenticity first. Now every potential ass hat that makes a terrorist threat might get coverage. |

WANNSTEDT COACHING HIS WAY TO CONSIDERATION FOR STEELERS' GIG?
We reported when Dave Wannstedt became the head coach of the Pitt Panthers that he was attracted to the job due in part to the possibility that, once Bill Cowher is no longer the head coach of the local pro team, Wannstedt might be able to slide into the job.
Though Wannstedt's ability to make the move seemed in doubt during a rocky start to his college coaching career in 2005, we're now told that Wannstedt will receive consideration for the Steelers job if, as many believe, Cowher packs it in after the 2006 season.
The leading candidate for the job, we're told, would be offensive line coach Russ Grimm, with offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt a close second. But if the Panthers continue to pile up wins, and if they could emerge from the scrum at the top of the Big East with the BCS berth, Wannstedt's star will be shining a lot brighter.
The key factor, as we see it, is whether the Steelers can continue to win games in 2006. If they lose more than two over the last 11, the playoffs will be very unlikely. And if the top job becomes open after a season of supreme disappointment, the in-house candidates suddenly will look less impressive.
The other intriguing factor in this regard is the so-called "Rooney Rule," which requires every team to consider at least one minority candidate for any head coaching vacancy. Since the rule is named for Steelers chairman Dan Rooney, it might be difficult for the Steelers to not hire a minority head coach when the job next becomes vacant.

What the hell are we doing? We're the NFL's first magnanimous charity. Fuck, we should be 4-2 and rolling for the next Supe. And yet, I still have hope - we are that damn good when not handing out rations. |
