Senator John McCain weighs in on National League MVP vote
By Mark Townsend | Big League Stew – 17 hours ago

As we’ve learned over the years, Arizona Senator John McCain isn’t shy about expressing his thoughts and opinions pertaining to his favorite sports teams and their rivals. In fact, it was just in September that McCain called the Los Angeles Dodgers ‘overpaid, immature, arrogant, spoiled brats’ after they decided to celebrate their NL West division championship by jumping in the swimming pool at Chase Field.

Strong words, but certainly not surprising coming from the loyal Arizona Diamondbacks...

) -- Martin Manley hated waking up early, but on his 60th birthday he did -- or more likely, never went to sleep the night before.
At 5 a.m. he entered a police station parking lot in a suburb of Kansas City, Kansas, walked to a spot beneath a tree on its far south end and pulled out his phone.
He dialed 911.
He said this:
"I want to report a suicide at the south end of the parking lot of the Overland Park Police Station at 123rd and Metcalf."
Then, the blogger and former sports reporter for the Kansas City Star pulled out his Saturday Night Special, a .380 pistol, and shot himself in the head.
The statistics -- Manley loved statistics; his "efficiency index" is still used by the NBA to rate players -- tell us that about 150 other Americans committed suicide that day, that somewhere around 38,000 of them will do so this year.

PHOENIX - A Valley man died shortly after a run-in with police. Now his dad, a former detective, wants answers.
Witnesses caught video of the whole incident. Police were trying to help Michael Angel Ruiz off the roof at his apartment complex near 23rd Avenue and Indian School Road -- and that's when witnesses say it goes downhill.
Video shows the 44-year-old man jumping from the roof and Phoenix police surrounding him. It looks like they put him in a choke hold and begin to drag him down the stairs.
The video also shows Michael's head hitting each step on the way down. Witnesses say they saw police use a stun gun on Michael several times while he was still on the roof.
His dad Richard Erickson tells ABC15 he had some drug issues, but was never violent and respected police.
"I just felt sick to my stomach," he said, referring to the video. "I'd never seen anything like this before, even when I was with the police department."
Michael's dad has hired...
