- Steelers RB Willie Parker is not going to wear rubber sleeves against the Patriots on Sunday, at the request of some kid, according to AP; those sleeves are blamed for Parker’s fumbles last week. I remember when Roethlisberger was a rookie, hadn’t lost a game as a starter and was urged by Steelers fans not to wear gloves in a freezing-cold game against the Patriots (some ‘tough-guy’ Steelers nonsense). He stunk up the joint that day. Why would any player listen to any fan?

Thanks for acknowledging the unique challenge of HIV positive athletes.
To learn about the unique challenges of an HIV positive sportswriter, check out my blog post titled “Disease Free At Last,” my story of how television told me I had AIDS in 1985, and how, here in 2007, countless online ads say they don’t want people like me, who aren’t CLEAN and DISEASE FREE.
