He is Joe Robbie, a Lebanese lawyer out of South Dakota - 12.15.69 - SI Vault
Joe Robbie is an owner in pro football, which means he should have a III or a IV after his name and emit a fragrance of old, old money or, considering the decline of everything these days, some new, new money with the smudge of heavy industry or the stain of oil on it.
Tillman to confront product of his altruism in Loyola's Hawkins

Maryland's 'mosh pit' is a dangerous place

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. --- Before today's lacrosse final four, Furman introduced Richie Meade as its first men's coach. The former Navy coach offered some thoughts on Memorial Day, which are included below.

DALY: Great times may lie ahead for Nationals
By Memorial Day weekend, the Washington Nationals usually look like, well, a wreck in the Indianapolis 500. Offseason plans have been rear-ended. Best-case scenarios have gone hurtling into the wall.

Runkel, Lusby lead Loyola to NCAA title game after 7-5 win over Notre Dame
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Goalie Jack Runkel came up every bit as huge as his 6-foot-3, 225-pound frame. Loyola will be playing on Memorial Day largely because of it.

Maryland manhandles Duke to reach NCAA lacrosse championship game
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Duke coach John Danowski couldn't explain it. Truth be told, his counterpart at Maryland, John Tillman, couldn't either.

Morning research: Terps set final four shooting record - Washington Times
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. --- The story from Saturday's second NCAA semifinal was how efficiently Maryland played on offense in a 16-10 dissection of third-seeded Duke.

Furman brings ex-Navy coach Meade back into college game - Washington Times
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. | Richie Meade was not in his usual attire: Jacket, dress shoes, a purple and white striped tie. What he was about to step into, though, was perfectly appropriate.
