Where would Earl Warren turn first now?

Former Chief Justice Earl Warren reportedly once said, "I always turn to the sports page first. The sports page records people's accomplishments; the front page nothing but man's failures."

Well, in the past few days:

-- Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens admitted to spitting at an opponent

-- Chicago Bears defensive tackle Tank Johnson was arrested on misdemeanor weapons charges. It was his third arrest in 18 months.

-- Detroit Lions assistant coach Joe Cullen was arrested for drunken driving and for nude driving.

And it wasn't just football ...

-- Ten players overall from the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks were ejected for brawling in a game at Madison Square Garden.

It makes me wonder where would Earl Warren turn to first in his morning newspapers if he were alive today. The birth notices?
