While the man behind an anti-Islam movie that ignited violence across the middle east would likely face swift punishment in his native egypt for making the film, in America, the government is in the thorny position of protecting his free speech rights and looking out for his safety even while condemning his message.

It’s a paradox that makes little sense to those protesting and calling for blood. To them, the movie dialogue denigrating the prophet Muhammad is all the evidence needed to pursue justice — vigilante or otherwise — against Nakoula Bassely Nakoula, an American citizen originally from Egypt.

The Baylor Bears were swept 3-0 (19-25, 22-25, 22-25) in their match against the North Texas Mean Green in Denton on Tuesday night.

With the loss, Baylor volleyball’s record falls to 13-2, and the Bears’ nine-game win-streak was snapped.

“North Texas played great, and our blocking and defense was bad,” head coach Jim Barnes said. “We had a bad night, and you can’t hit that many errors and expect to win.”

New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin had his panties in a bunch after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers actually decided to play football on the final play of the game.

With New York up by only seven points, the Giants were convinced that the Buccaneers would just lay down for them and let the Giants run out the clock and the Buccaneers would quietly accept defeat.

Greg Schiano, what have you done? The game was over. All the Giants were doing was making their win official, but you decided to be a sore loser.

Football is a game of possession. The Giants had the ball with a 7-point lead and five seconds to go. That means the Giants have earned the victory, barring a serious error in judgment.
