title: Colin McCool

texts:
<mask> (9 December 1916 – 5 April 1986) was an Australian cricketer who played in 14 Test matches between 1946 and 1950. <mask>, born in Paddington, New South Wales, was an all-rounder who bowled leg spin and googlies with a round arm action and as a lower order batsman was regarded as effective square of the wicket and against spin bowling. He made his Test début against New Zealand in 1946, taking a wicket with his second delivery. He was part of Donald Bradman's Invincibles team that toured England in 1948 but injury saw him miss selection in any of the Test matches. A good tour of South Africa in 1949–50 was followed by a lack of opportunity in the next two seasons, leading <mask> to sign a contract to play professional cricket in the Lancashire League in 1953. Three years later, Somerset County Cricket Club recruited <mask> where he was a success, especially as a middle-order batsman; he played five seasons and saw the club achieve its highest place in the County Championship since 1892. He retired from cricket in 1960 and returned to Australia to work as a market gardener.He died in Concord, New South Wales on 5 April 1986. Early career
As a child growing up in Paddington, <mask> attended Crown Street State School—earlier students included Victor Trumper and Monty Noble. He played his childhood cricket on concrete wickets in Moore Park and learnt to bowl from reading Clarrie Grimmett's instructional book, Getting Wickets. <mask> played his early grade cricket with Paddington Cricket Club before coming to the notice of the New South Wales selectors. He made his first-class début for New South Wales against "Rest of Australia" in March 1940, making 19 and 15 and taking one wicket. While the Australian Cricket Board suspended the Sheffield Shield competition at the end of the 1939–40 season, at the request of the Australian government, a series of matches were arranged to raise money for wartime charities in the following 1940–41 season. <mask> played in six of these matches for New South Wales, scoring 416 runs at average of 52.00 and taking 24 wickets at an average of 23.50.<mask> enlisted on 12 September 1941 and served as a Pilot Officer with the No. 33 Squadron of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Stationed in New Guinea, <mask> had reached the rank of Flight Lieutenant when he was discharged from the RAAF on 18 September 1945. After the war, he moved to Toombul District Cricket Club in Brisbane and was selected in the Queensland cricket team. Playing for Queensland, he formed a formidable partnership with wicket-keeper Don Tallon, who also played for Toombul. He was selected in the Australian team to tour New Zealand in 1945–46, making his Test début at the Basin Reserve in Wellington. He made seven runs in Australia's only innings and took a wicket with his second ball in Test cricket; the last man dismissed in the Test, Don McRae.Test player

The following season, Wally Hammond's England cricket team travelled to Australia for the 1946–47 Ashes series. In a warm-up match before the series, <mask> performed well for Queensland against the English tourists at the Brisbane Cricket Ground (the 'Gabba), taking nine wickets and "the English batsmen seemed like rabbits fascinated in the presence of a snake". He was selected for the First Test at the same ground the following week. He just missed out on a century on his Ashes debut, scoring 95 and only bowling one over as Australia won the Test by an innings and 332 runs. In the Second Test at Sydney, <mask> took eight wickets, including the prize wicket of Hammond twice. Australia won by an innings and 33 runs. The Third Test at Melbourne saw <mask> make his maiden Test century, 104 not out in a drawn match.The Melbourne businessman and underworld figure, John Wren had promised McCool one pound for every run he made that innings; this was at a time when ten pounds was the average weekly wage in Australia. The cheque—given to <mask> the next day—allowed him to place a deposit on a house. He played in the remaining two Tests, making 272 runs at an average of 54 and taking 18 wickets at just over 27 apiece. He took 5/44 in the Fifth Test. Wisden Cricketers' Almanack wrote that his batting featured "wristy cuts" and "vigorous hooks", opining that there were "few better players of spin bowling on a difficult pitch". Wisden said that his slow and loopy leg spin was "a clever mixture of leg-breaks and googlies". India toured Australia for the first time in 1947–48.<mask> played in three Tests without much success, scoring only 46 runs and taking only four wickets. Nevertheless, he was selected as part of Australian team to tour England in 1948 that would be known as the Invincibles. He took 57 wickets on the tour but bowling for long periods caused him to continually tear a callus on his third finger, used to impart spin on the ball. As a result, his captain, Don Bradman, felt compelled to leave him out of the Test matches, feeling that his finger would not be able to handle the necessarily long bowling spells. This decision was aided by the then existing rule allowing a new ball to be used every 55 overs, allowing Bradman to use his fast bowlers more often. For the rest of his career, <mask> was troubled by the skin rubbing off his spinning finger. <mask> and his fellow fringe members of the squad, Ron Hamence and Doug Ring, would refer themselves as the "ground-staff" as it was unlikely that the tour selectors would include them in the Test team that tour.The cricket writer Alan Gibson, who knew <mask> well in his later cricket career at Somerset, wrote that the omission "distressed him greatly at the time, though he could be philosophical enough about it later". He played in all five Tests on tour against South Africa. He took 51 wickets in all matches, including 5/41 in the Second Test at Newlands. In 1950–51, <mask> was the leading wicket taker in the Sheffield Shield competition, however he was not selected in the Test team against the touring English; nor against the West Indies the following season. English cricket

Prior to the 1953 Australian team to tour England, <mask> signed a professional contract with Lancashire League team East Lancashire, replacing fellow Australian leg spinner Bruce Dooland. In his first season in the league, he was the leading wicket-taker with 93 wickets at the low average of 10.2 runs per wicket, and he also made 678 runs at an average of 33.9. The following year, he played less often: his 547 runs came at the better average of 42.1 but his 52 wickets cost 13.1 apiece, and East Lancashire, who had finished either first or second in the Championship ten times in the previous twelve seasons, finished 10th out of 14.He did not return to East Lancashire for the 1955 season due to being contracted to play county cricket for Somerset. The cricket writer Alan Gibson, who knew <mask> well, wrote that "after he had made the decision to come, an extension of the qualifying period for overseas cricketers kept him waiting even longer". Delayed by the change to the rules, <mask> had a five-year stint from 1956 in English county cricket. Somerset, having finished on the bottom of the County Championship table for the four years between 1952 and 1955, had embarked on a renewal programme. Part of the programme involved a vigorous recruiting campaign, including an offer to <mask> that saw him return to first-class cricket at the age of 39. At Somerset, McCool was an instant success as a batsman, scoring 1,967 runs in his first season, including three centuries and a highest score of 141. After four seasons, Somerset came off the bottom of the County Championship (to 15th out of 17), and Wisden was in no doubt of McCool's influence: "Much of the credit for the all-round improvement went to one man – McCool," it wrote."At the start of the season it was hoped that the former Australian Test leg-break bowler would lend power and variety to the attack. From that viewpoint his 45 wickets at over thirty runs apiece might be counted disappointing. But with the bat <mask> exceeded all expectations. He was one of the most consistent scorers in the country and he failed by only 34 to reach 2,000 runs in his first season of county cricket. <mask> was the backbone of a mediocre batting side, and he never departed from his natural attacking style." Against the touring Australians that season he made 90 and 116, the first innings 90 coming out of 139 in two-and-a-half hours and including 15 fours, the second innings century out of 167 in just 95 minutes, with four sixes and 14 fours. Wisden reported that he was "very severe on [Ian Johnson] and [Jack Wilson]".Over the 1956/57 new year, <mask> was one of a party of 12 cricketers, all but one of them Test players, who made a brief trip to India to play two first-class matches in celebration of the silver jubilee of the Bengal Cricket Association in a side raised by the Lancashire secretary Geoffrey Howard. <mask> did not play in the first match and in the second, he replaced Jock Livingston, the team's only wicketkeeper, who had been taken ill during the first game. <mask> made only 23 and 1 with the bat, but he stumped Vinoo Mankad off the bowling of Dooland, one of only two stumpings in his career as a very occasional wicketkeeper. Back in England in 1957 he was joined at Taunton by another Australian, Bill Alley, but still finished as the leading scorer for the county with 1,678 runs in all matches, to go with 44 wickets. In the wet summer of 1958 Somerset finished third in the Championship, their highest position since 1892. <mask>'s contribution was 1,590 runs and 46 wickets at, for him, the low average of 23 runs each. In this season, <mask> made his highest score for Somerset – 169 out of a total of 314 against Worcestershire at Stourbridge  – and in the last match of the season he produced his best bowling figures of his career, taking eight second-innings Nottinghamshire wickets for 74 runs on what Wisden described as "a sporting pitch".In contrast to 1958, the 1959 season was hot and dry and <mask>'s figures improved: he made 1769 runs at an average of more than 40 runs per innings and took 64 first-class wickets, more than in any other Somerset season. <mask>'s final season with Somerset before his retirement was 1960, and he signed off with 1,222 runs and 29 wickets. In 138 matches across the five seasons for Somerset, <mask> made 7,913 runs at an average of 33.82. He also took 219 wickets at 28.05 but in his five years with the county he was never the first-choice spin bowler: in his first two seasons, Somerset used Australian-born slow left-arm orthodox bowler John McMahon as the main spin bowler, with young off-spin bowler Brian Langford also bowling more than <mask>. When McMahon left, Langford took over as the top spin bowler, and by 1960 was bowling four times the number of overs that <mask> took. But <mask> had also lost some of his control at this stage: "He could do beguiling things with the ball, though length and line seemed to become a decreasing consideration," says the history of Somerset cricket. He also made 146 catches, many of them at first slip, where he stood "rather deeper than usual".His influence on Somerset's recovery from the trough of the early 1950s was considerable. A later Somerset history says: "Occasionally some of the younger pros didn't relish the way he treated them. Maybe they also resented that his salary was well in excess of their own. But their respect for his competitive approach and sheer experience was undeniable." Playing style

McCool had a round-arm bowling action, releasing the ball with his arm almost parallel to the ground. Before he developed problems with the skin on his spinning finger, he was, in spite of his unorthodox action, able to generate sharp spin. The cricket writer, Jack Pollard said of McCool, "[McCool] was almost unplayable on badly prepared pitches, so wide and sharp was the turn of his leg-breaks."and that he "made even State [i.e. first-class] batsmen look inept". On the advice of coaches and ex-players, <mask> attempted to alter his action to a more orthodox style on several occasions but always returned to his natural style. A short man but with a strong build, as a batsman he was a vigorous hooker and a wristy cutter, scoring mostly square of the wicket. He was particularly good against spin bowling, even on difficult pitches. During his time at Somerset, he was known for "[turning] a match with his cracking strokes in an hour." Alan Gibson wrote: "We hardly think of him as a stylist, and he was mostly a back-foot player, getting the greater number of his runs in the segments fanning out from point and square-leg.But he was enjoyable to watch, compact, tidy, combining powerful hitting with delicate placing. In the best Somerset tradition, he was always after the bowling, and in the best Australian tradition, he always relished a fight." But he also adapted his style to suit English pitches: in an early innings for Somerset, he was out trying to hook a ball from Trevor Bailey. "The hook, he decided, was a stroke to be used sparingly on English pitches... <mask> was constantly amending his technique that season [1956], whenever he spotted a flaw in his method. Again and again he held the Somerset batting together. Nothing in his previous experience had equipped him for the task of holding up a losing side in a damp English summer." He was renowned for his catching, often spending an hour at a time practising catching a ball thrown into the side of a roller normally used to prepare the cricket pitch.Journalist and former team-mate Bill O'Reilly said after <mask>'s death in 1986: "If <mask> had played in the last 10 years, he would have been regarded as one of the greatest all-rounders ever in Australian cricket. He was a great batsman, [...] a wonderful bowler and one of the best slips fieldsmen I have ever seen." Personality and personal life
Accounts of <mask> in his Somerset period portray him as a thoughtful but slightly aloof character. "Off the field he was a quiet man," wrote David Foot. He was "a contemplative pipe-smoker in the corner of the dressing room," says another account, and somewhat intolerant of others who appeared less committed than he was. "Occasionally some of the younger pros didn't relish the way he treated them. Maybe they also resented that his salary was well in excess of their own."Alan Gibson wrote about him more volubly: "He thought about the game a lot. Many Australian cricketers do, more than English cricketers probably, but <mask> was in some ways an untypical Australian. He had a diffidence and gentleness, which do not always spring to mind as familiar Australian qualities: but he had plenty of Australian determination." Gibson wrote that <mask> "did not quite come to terms with the West Country". He went on: "He missed the sunshine. 'There's no winter,' he said, 'and the beer's better. And the f------ off-spinners don't turn.'I think an additional reason was that he found some difficulty in accepting the conventions of English cricket as it was then. There was a Somerset committee member, who liked and admired him, and would greet him with, 'Morning, McCool'. That committee member was seeking to be courteous. He would have thought it pompous to say 'Mr McCool', and impertinent to say '<mask>'. But it infuriated <mask>. He thought it a reflection on his status. He would have preferred something like 'Hi, Col, you old bastard.'The worlds were too far apart." <mask> was given a testimonial season by Somerset in 1959 after just three years with county and the circumstances were unusual enough for it to be remarked on in the county's Year Book, published in the winter before the season. "Although <mask> has played for the County for three seasons only, this Testimonial is a fitting reward for his valuable services as an all-rounder and off the field, where his influence is most marked." After retirement from first-class cricket at the end of the 1960 season in England, <mask> returned to Australia, taking up market gardening with a specialty in rare blooms at Umina Beach on the Central Coast of New South Wales. He continued playing club cricket in the Newcastle competition for Belmont until rheumatism forced him to retire from all forms of cricket aged 55:  "Rheumatism in my right hand made it embarrassing for me to continue. It was alarming to an old pro like me who prided himself on length and directions to have the ball slip out of my fingers out of control." <mask> was the author of two books on cricket: Cricket is a Game, which was an autobiography, and The Best Way to Play Cricket, both published in 1961.John Arlott, reviewing them in Wisden 1962, said the first was "full of trenchant good sense, humour, anecdote and shrewd observation". The second book, Arlott wrote, was "to the best of this reviewer's knowledge, the first cricket book to be initially published in the modern paper-back format". It was, he added, "full of good instruction and ... sets down some genuine cricket wisdom with freshness and vitality". He married Dorothy Everlyn Yabsley in 1943 in Sydney. His son, <mask>, who was born in Taunton, played one first-class match for Somerset in 1982, in addition to playing for New South Wales Colts and New South Wales Country. Test match performance

His practice lasted from 1882 to 1930 and commissions included Charles Boettcher House in Denver, Colorado's Fort Morgan State Armory, Denver's Filbeck Building, and six of Colorado's county courthouses. He worked for the Catholic Church's Denver Archdiocese designing Denver's St. Thomas Theological Seminary and the Hotel St. Nicholas (1898), dedicated as a general hospital to serve Cripple Creek, Colorado and the surrounding area during the height of the 1890s gold rush. His original architectural drawings for the Hotel St. Nicholas (drawn in 1896) are displayed in the hotel's main lobby of the Cripple Creek Hotel. He also designed Murchison School (1902) in South Carolina. He designed the El Cortez Apartments at 608 East 12th Avenue in Denver Colorado 80203.<mask> is known for his Classical Revival and Richardsonian Romanesque style designs.

texts:
<mask>. (born May 4, 1978) is a former American football outside linebacker. He played college football for Kent State University and was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2002. A five-time Pro Bowl selection, <mask> won two Super Bowls with the Steelers: XL and XLIII. In 2008, he became the only undrafted player to be named Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year. <mask> was known for his hard-hitting style during games. <mask> also played for NFL Europe's Rhein Fire and had brief stints with the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals. After the 2013 season, he stated that he would be retiring from the NFL, but he came out of retirement to return to the Steelers, and spent part of his final NFL season with the New England Patriots.<mask> is the Steelers' all-time sack leader, with 80.5. <mask> currently appears on FS1 as a football analyst. Early years
Born in Akron, Ohio, <mask> was the youngest of 14 children to <mask>. (a chemical truck driver) and Mildred. He played Little League baseball in Scranton, Pennsylvania for Sloan Little League's Green Team. He was selected to the All-Star team in 1991. He grew up in Akron, and his favorite NFL team was the Cleveland Browns, who played only 40 miles from his house. Initially, his mother did not want him to play football.It took both <mask> and his best friend from childhood, David Walker, to convince her. When he started to play, he excelled at both linebacker and running back. He attended two high schools his freshman year, Archbishop Hoban High School then Coventry High School, where, in addition to football, also participated in track & field, competing in events ranging from the shot put to the high jump. He had PR of 15.63 meters (51 ft 3in) in the shot put, 38.86 meters in the discus throw (127 ft 5 in) and 1.85 meters (6 ft 1 in) in the high jump. He was also a state-qualifier in the 4 × 100 m relay. <mask> along with Jonathan Holloman were two  of the first African-Americans to play football at Coventry. <mask> graduated in 1998.His high school football ability was great, but his lack of maturity at times was a struggle. <mask> did not pay attention to his grades or college entrance tests, and by his senior year he had become disruptive to his football team. Early in his senior year, Coventry staff had to suspend him for two games for challenging an assistant coach to a fight. After he returned from his suspension, in his next game, he began the game by carrying 3 times for nearly 100 yards and 2 touchdowns. After his second TD, he ran down the opposing team's sideline, and was ejected and later suspended for one game for making obscene gestures to the fans. <mask> was in court soon thereafter, after he shot a BB gun in the school locker room towards a defensive coach. He pled guilty to a minor charge and was able to return to school to finish his senior year.Due to his off-the-field issues, powerhouse football programs like Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Nebraska rescinded their scholarship offers. College career
<mask> attended Kent State University and walked on the Kent State Golden Flashes football team. After sitting out his freshman season in 1998 due to NCAA academic guidelines, <mask> became a starter for the last three games of the 1999 season and led the team with 106 total tackles and 13 tackles for a loss. He also had an interception and three fumble recoveries. During his last collegiate game against Miami University, <mask> finished with 12 tackles, 5 sacks, and a forced fumble. At the end of the fourth quarter, he sacked future teammate, Ben Roethlisberger on third and fourth down to seal a 24–20 victory. In 2001, he recorded 98 total tackles, 20 tackles for loss, and led the MAC conference with 15 sacks, while also being voted to first-team Mid-American Conference.After graduating, he returned in 2010 to be inducted into Kent State's Varsity "K" Hall of Fame along with San Diego Chargers tight end, Antonio Gates. <mask> also made a donation of $100k to his alma mater, who in turn named the field house in his honor. In 2013, Kent State retired <mask>'s jersey number 16. Professional career

Pittsburgh Steelers
<mask> went undrafted in the 2002 NFL Draft,  as teams feared he was too short (six feet) to play linebacker, and too light (240 pounds) to play on the defensive line. A few teams did send him training camp invites. The Steelers signed <mask> as an undrafted rookie in 2002, making him the first Kent State alumnus to play at linebacker for the team since Hall of Famer Jack Lambert. <mask> spent two years on and off the practice squad for the Steelers, being released three times, and also was briefly on the active roster towards the end of the 2002 season, playing only special teams.Teammate and fellow linebacker, <mask>, later told NFL Network that <mask> was so green early on in his career that he would simply "give up" on plays on which he was struggling and even would ask the coaches not to play him when he was struggling. Farrior said, "He was a knucklehead that didn't know the plays. We'd be in practice, in training camp, and he might not know what he was doing so he'd just stop and throw his hands up and tell (the coaches) to get him out of there. We thought the guy was crazy." <mask> wore number 93 during this period before adopting his more well known number 92, which at the time was worn by fellow linebacker and Pro Bowler Jason Gildon. Baltimore Ravens and Rhein Fire
He was signed by Baltimore in late 2003, then sent to the Rhein Fire of NFL Europe, but eventually was cut by the Ravens. Second stint with Steelers

2004
After being cut for a fourth time, <mask> considered not playing anymore.Shortly thereafter, he was signed a fourth time by the Steelers during training camp in 2004 after Clark Haggans sustained an injury in an offseason weightlifting accident. Showing much improvement, <mask> made the final roster and remained with the Steelers through the 2012 season. <mask> later told the Beaver County Times that if not for Haggans's injury, he planned to retire from football at age 26 to focus on becoming a veterinarian, something that <mask> still plans on doing now that his football career has ended. <mask> also considered following in his father's footsteps to become a truck driver, and to this day does have a commercial driver's license. Throughout the 2004 season, <mask> mostly played on special teams and on defense at linebacker, with occasional reps at defensive end. His first career start came against his hometown Cleveland Browns in Cleveland on November 14 after teammate Joey Porter and Browns running back William Green were ejected for fighting during the pregame warm-ups. <mask> had a good game statistically in the Steelers' 24–10 victory against their hated rival.<mask> scored his first career touchdown on a fumble recovery in the final week of the season against the Buffalo Bills. 2005–2006
<mask> started in three games of the 2005 season when starting linebacker Clark Haggans was injured. His biggest highlight of the year was in a game against the San Diego Chargers, where he intercepted a Drew Brees pass for a 25-yard return. During the return, he made a huge leap over LaDainian Tomlinson, the Chargers star running back. <mask> gained some attention and popularity when he restrained a Cleveland Browns fan during a 41–0 Pittsburgh win on Christmas Eve. The intoxicated fan was on the field when <mask> lifted the man and slammed him on the ground. <mask> restrained the fan until authorities took him away.The Steelers went on to win Super Bowl XL that season. Although <mask> was not a major factor in the game, he did play and earn a Super Bowl ring with the team, recording a team-high three special teams tackles. 2007
In the 2007 offseason, with longtime head coach Bill Cowher resigning after 15 seasons and Mike Tomlin taking over the reins, the Steelers controversially cut Joey Porter for salary cap reasons. Although the Steelers drafted two linebackers with their first two picks that year (Lawrence Timmons and LaMarr Woodley), <mask> was appointed the starter in place of Porter. The decision would ultimately pay off, as <mask> would go on to have a breakout season, making All-Pro Second Team and earning his first trip to the Pro Bowl as a starter on the AFC squad. On November 5, <mask> had a standout game on Monday Night Football against the Baltimore Ravens. He piled up 9 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery, and 1 interception.The most memorable moment of the game, however, was <mask>'s tackle of Baltimore safety Ed Reed. After a Steelers punt by Daniel Sepulveda, Reed had recovered the kick and was looking to return it. As Reed ran up the sidelines, he was blindsided by <mask> and the ball was knocked away from Reed's grasp. Pittsburgh linebacker Lawrence Timmons immediately recovered the fumble. The Steelers would go on to blow out the Ravens, 38–7. On November 26, during a Monday Night Football game, an announcer gave <mask> the nickname, "Mr. Monday Night", because of his outstanding performance on November 5. He piled up 8.5 sacks, 7 forced fumbles, 3 recovered fumbles, and 98 tackles on the year.He was voted team MVP for the 2007 season. 2008
In the Steelers' Week 4 Monday Night Football game against the Baltimore Ravens, <mask> recorded 10 total tackles, 2.5 sacks, 2 tackles for a loss, and a forced fumble. Along with LaMarr Woodley, who by this point was a starter in his own right, after the team chose not to re-sign Clark Haggans the previous offseason, <mask> and Woodley had become arguably the team's best pass-rushing duo since Greg Lloyd and Kevin Greene in 1994. <mask> amassed 16 sacks, breaking the team record set by Mike Merriweather in 1984. The two teammates set a team record with 27.5 sacks. <mask> also played special teams on a regular basis, making him one of the few regular NFL starters to also play special teams. His most notable special teams play for 2008, however, arguably cost the Steelers their game against the New York Giants in Week 8.With the Steelers leading 14–12 in the fourth quarter and having to punt from their own end zone, <mask> played as long snapper after regular long snapper Greg Warren suffered a season-ending

It was the longest play in Super Bowl history (surpassing Desmond Howard's 99-yard kickoff return in Super Bowl XXXI, being broken by Jacoby Jones in 2013 with a 108-yard kickoff return) and helped the Steelers defeat the Arizona Cardinals 27–23.It was also the longest interception return in Steelers franchise history, surpassing the 99-yard return by Martin "Butch" Kottler which occurred in the club's second ever game and was the oldest team record on the books.

<mask> plays Apocalypse on Heels. Personal life
As well as being nicknamed "Silverback", <mask>'s teammates also call him Deebo, after the character from the Friday movies. He has two children, <mask> III, born in 2007, and Henry, born in 2009.<mask> elected not to visit the White House with the rest of the team after the Steelers won Super Bowl XLIII. Skipping the visit gained some media attention, as <mask> said that Barack Obama (who supported the Steelers in the game and considers his second favorite NFL team after his hometown team, Chicago Bears) would have invited the Arizona Cardinals had they won: "This is how I feel — if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don't win the Super Bowl. As far as I'm concerned, he [Obama] would've invited Arizona if they had won." <mask> had also skipped the team's visit after winning Super Bowl XL when George W. Bush was president. Arrest
<mask> was arrested in March 2008 and was charged with simple assault and criminal mischief stemming from a domestic altercation with his girlfriend, Beth Tibbott. On April 3, 2008, the district attorney dropped all charges because <mask> had completed anger management counseling and psychological counseling. The arrest gained some controversy after the team released wide receiver Cedrick Wilson in a similar, but unrelated, incident around the same time but did not release <mask>.The Steelers even issued a press release shortly after they released Wilson stating that <mask>'s incident and Wilson's incident were examined "on a case-by-case basis" and Wilson's incident determined that his warranted release while <mask> had "taken responsibility for his actions." Steelers owner Dan Rooney, a lifelong devout Catholic, added that the incident was concerning their son's baptism, that <mask>'s girlfriend reportedly did not want their son baptized, and that <mask> promptly called the Rooney family about the incident. Nonetheless, there were still accusations of a double standard because of the timing of both <mask>'s and Wilson's incidents. The NFL, which had been cracking down on off-the-field conduct, took no action in either incident. Dog incident
On May 23, 2009, <mask>'s son, <mask>, sustained an injury to his thigh when the family's pit bull became agitated and bit him. The boy's mother, Beth Tibbott, who had let the dog out of his cage, was also bitten when she tried to intervene. The dog also bit the player's massage therapist, who needed three stitches.<mask>'s agent, William Parise, said the boy's injuries were "serious but certainly not life-threatening." Three days later, <mask> was released from the hospital. The pit bull was scheduled to be euthanized but, through the team, <mask> was able to place the dog in a temporary home which specializes in training aggressive dogs. Men's Journal article
On July 13, 2011, a controversial magazine article titled "<mask>: Confessions of an NFL Hitman" was published by Paul Solotaroff in Men's Journal. In the article, <mask> was asked multiple questions about who he is and why he plays the game of football the way he does. The controversy comes into play when <mask> begins talking about the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. <mask> called Goodell a "crook and a puppet", and then proceeded to say that "I hate him and will never respect him."<mask> also made comments towards his quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, and other players in the National Football League such as Brian Cushing. <mask> released an apology for his statements on July 14, 2011.

<mask> (born March 25, 1934) is an American-born Orthodox rabbi, lecturer and writer. He authored several books, in both Hebrew and English (the latter published by Artscroll), concerning Jewish history and popularized the subject through more than 1,000 audio tapes, newspaper articles and international lectures. Throughout his career, he has retained personal and ideological ties to both Modern Orthodox and Haredi Judaism. <mask> was born March 25, 1934 in Chicago to a family descended from Lithuanian rabbis. His father, <mask>, emigrated to the United States and served as a Rabbi in Chicago until the 1970s. In 1955 he married Yocheved (Jackie) Levin, who had been born in Vaskai, Lithuania, in 1934 and had emigrated to Detroit with her parents at the age of 4. Jackie's father, Rabbi Eliezer Levin, served as Rabbi of Congregation Beth Tefiloh Emanuel and led the triumvirate of the Council of Orthodox Rabbis (COR) of Greater Detroit, in that city, for over 60 years.The couple settled in Chicago, where their four children—Miriam, Dinah, Chaim Tzvi, and Sori—were born. Rabbi Wein has 29 grandchildren and 70 great-grandchildren living in both Israel and America. Rabanit Yocheved 'Jackie' Wein z"l died on May 25, 2006, and was buried on the Mount of Olives. Rabbi Wein subsequently remarried; Mira Cohen Wein died in 2018. <mask> continues to live in Rehavia. Biography

In America
Wein received semicha (rabbinic ordination) from Hebrew Theological College, which was founded by his maternal grandfather,  Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Rubinstein. His main teacher was Rabbi Chaim Kreiswirth and his personal mentors there included Rabbis Mordechai Rogow and Yisrael Mendel Kaplan.He was a student of the late Rabbi Oscar Z. Fasman in Chicago, and spoke at the latter's funeral. He received a Bachelor's degree from Roosevelt University in Chicago and earned a law degree from DePaul University. After passing the Illinois Bar he practiced as an attorney in Chicago for a number of years. In 1964, <mask> accepted the pulpit of Beth Israel Congregation in Miami Beach, Florida, where he remained until 1972. He moved to New York City when he was appointed as executive vice-president of the Union of Orthodox Organizations of America (known as the Orthodox Union). Within that organization, he served as rabbinic administrator of the kashrut (kosher foods) supervision division until 1977. At the same time, he founded Congregation Bais Torah in Suffern, New York, and served as its rabbi for the next 24 years.Wein also founded Yeshiva Shaarei Torah of Rockland with a large high school and a smaller post-high school division in 1977. The yeshiva subsequently moved onto the grounds of his synagogue and he served as Rosh Yeshiva (dean) until his move to Israel in 1997. His son, Rabbi Chaim Tzvi <mask>, succeeded him as Rosh Yeshiva (along with Rabbi Mordechai Wolmark, author of Mishnas Mordechai). In Israel
Rabbi <mask> and his wife moved to Israel in 1997. They settled in the Rehavia neighborhood of Jerusalem, where they became Rav and Rebbetzin at Bet Knesset Hanasi (at 24 Usshishkin). In Israel, <mask> also established The Destiny Foundation, a marketing forum for his CDs, audio tapes and books as well as drama and documentary film projects. He is presently a senior faculty member of Ohr Somayach Yeshiva in Jerusalem, where he lectures to the mostly English-speaking student body.He also lectures extensively in Israel and abroad, and writes a regular weekly column for The Jerusalem Post since 1999. Teaching
During his years in America, Wein produced many audio tapes (recordings) on both Torah teachings and Jewish history. These helped to popularize the latter subject, which had often been neglected in traditional Orthodox Jewish education. After detailed research, he went on to publish a four-volume series of coffee table books spanning 2,300 years of Jewish history, for which he is widely known in English-speaking Orthodox communities:

Echoes of Glory: The story of the Jews in the Classical Era, 350 BCE-750 CE
Herald of Destiny: The story of the Jews in the Medieval Era, 750-1650
Triumph of Survival: The story of the Jews in the Modern Era, 1650-1995
Faith and Fate: The story of the Jewish people in the twentieth century

Wein is known for his witty speaking and writing style: his sayings and observations have been collected together, by James Weiss, into a 283-page book entitled Vintage Wein: The collected wit and wisdom, the choicest anecdotes and vignettes of Rabbi <mask> <mask> (Shaar Press, 1992). Since his move to Israel, he has also penned three collections of essays, titled Second Thoughts: A collection of musings and observations (1997), Buy Green Bananas: Observations on self, family and life (1999), and Living Jewish: Values, Practices and Traditions. He has also authored commentaries on Ethics of Our Fathers, Pirkei Avos : Teachings for Our Times, and on the Passover Haggadah, The Pesach Haggadah: Through the Prism of Experience and History. Tending the Vineyard, is a personal, a detailed guide for aspiring pulpit rabbis, in which he shares his philosophy of the rabbinate, and relates first-hand experiences and dispenses advice to rabbinic students.In May 2013, <mask> co-authored "The Legacy: Teachings for Life from the Great Lithuanian Rabbis", with Warren Goldstein, Chief Rabbi of South Africa (published by Maggid Books, an imprint of Koren Publishers Jerusalem). His autobiography, "Teach Them Diligently: The Personal Story of a Community Rabbi" became available in June 2014. Wein mentions his Wein Press in his 2020 In My Opinion volume, which he published via his Destiny Foundation organization. Bibliography

<mask> (February 7, 1933 – December 9, 1956) was a college football player for the University of Iowa. <mask> is one of only two Iowa football players (along with Nile Kinnick) to have his jersey number retired by the school. <mask> became the first Hawkeye, and the first African-American, to win the Outland Trophy in 1955. He played one year with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Western Interprovincial Football Union. He died in a plane crash after playing in the East–West All-Star Game. <mask> is a member of The Pigskin Club Of Washington, D.C. National Intercollegiate All-American Football Players Honor Roll. Youth and recruitment
<mask> was born on the south side of Steubenville, Ohio, the youngest of seven children.His father died when <mask> was about one year old. His mother, Talitha <mask>, raised <mask> and his six older siblings during the Great Depression and World War II. <mask> began playing organized football in the fifth grade. By the time they neared the end of their time at Steubenville High School, <mask> and his two friends, Eddie Vincent and Frank Gilliam, were being courted by college football programs. Ohio State and their legendary coach, Woody Hayes, offered a scholarship only to <mask>. <mask> committed to play at Ohio State, while Vincent and Gilliam accepted scholarships to play for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Before the fall of 1952, Vincent and Gilliam drove to <mask>'s house to say goodbye before leaving for Iowa.<mask> shocked his friends when he said, "Wait a minute...I'm coming with you." <mask> ran upstairs, packed a bag, and rode to Iowa City with Vincent and Gilliam. <mask>' sudden switch from Ohio State to conference rival Iowa caused Big Ten commissioner Tug Wilson to conduct a personal investigation. Iowa was cleared of any wrongdoing. When questioned, <mask> reportedly told Wilson, "I'll tell you why I came out here. They treated me like a white man, and I like it here. I'm going to stay."College football career
The "Steubenville Trio" (as <mask>, Vincent, and Gilliam were called) arrived with Iowa football in bad shape. Iowa had had only one winning season in the previous ten years. <mask> was a dominant figure on the field from 1953 to 1955. In 1953, Iowa finished the year ranked 9th in the final AP Poll, Iowa's best finish since the Ironmen in 1939. <mask> was named as a first team All-American. In 1954, Iowa again had a winning season. <mask> was named as a consensus first team All-American, despite playing the entire year with a broken wrist.<mask> broke it in practice before Iowa's first game but kept the injury concealed from the fans and media all year. That season, <mask> also became the first college football player and first African American to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine in its September 27, 1954 issue, which shows a tightly cropped slightly blurry image of <mask> face wearing a football helmet. This was the 7th issue of Sports Illustrated. In 1955, <mask> was named as Iowa's team captain. Though Iowa struggled to a 3–5–1 record, <mask> was named as a consensus first team All-American for the second consecutive year. <mask> also won the 1955 Outland Trophy, which goes to the United States' top lineman. He was the first African-American player to win the prestigious award.<mask> also finished tenth in the balloting for the Heisman Trophy, an impressive finish for a lineman. Professional football career
<mask> graduated with a 3.0 grade point average at Iowa. He was selected in the ninth round of the 1956 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions, but refused to sign with the team as the NFL paid black players less than whites. Instead, he went to Canada and signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Western Interprovincial Football Union (WIFU). As a rookie with Winnipeg in 1956, <mask> was named to the WIFU All-Star Team. The East–West All-Star Game in Vancouver would be <mask>'s final football game. Iowa qualified for the Rose Bowl after the 1956 season.Frank Gilliam had sat out the 1955 season with a broken leg, so Gilliam was playing his final year for the Hawkeyes. <mask> was to fly home to Winnipeg, gather a few possessions, and then fly to Pasadena to watch Gilliam in the Rose Bowl after the All-Star game. Death

On December 9, 1956, <mask> overslept his scheduled morning flight from Vancouver, so he scheduled an afternoon flight to stop at Calgary then travel to Winnipeg. <mask>' flight on Trans-Canada Air Lines Flight 810, from Vancouver to Calgary crashed at Slesse Mountain (aka Mount Slesse), killing all 62 people aboard, including one football official and four players from the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Gilliam and the rest of the Iowa Hawkeye team heard of <mask>'s death as they prepared for the 1957 Rose Bowl against Oregon State. The team dedicated Iowa's first Rose Bowl appearance to <mask>'s memory and won the game, 35–19. The team sent the game ball to Talitha <mask>, <mask>'s mother in Steubenville.Honors
<mask> is currently the only three-time first team All-American in Iowa history and was the first college football player on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1954. He is one of only two Iowa players to be named a consensus first team All-American twice (Larry Station is the other). <mask> was inducted into the Iowa Sports Hall of Fame in 1971 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 1980. In 1989, Iowa fans selected an all-time University of Iowa football team during the 100th anniversary celebration of Iowa football, and <mask> was selected to the team as a lineman. And the University of Iowa retired <mask>' #62. <mask> is one of only two players so honored – Nile Kinnick's #24 is similarly. The street where Steubenville High School's Harding Stadium is located, is named in <mask>' honor.Personal
<mask>'s grandson, Edwin Harrison, was a National Football League guard on the practice squad of the Kansas City Chiefs. He currently plays for the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. His search to learn more about the life and death of his grandfather and his family history is at the centre of the 2012 documentary The Crash of Flight 810, part of TSN's Engraved on a Nation series of eight documentaries celebrating the 100th Grey Cup.

title: Cornelius Jeremiah Vanderbilt

texts:
<mask> (December 29, 1830 – April 2, 1882) was an American member of the <mask> family who, after having a troubled relationship with his father, <mask>, eventually committed suicide at the age of 51. Early life
<mask> "Corneel" <mask> was born on Staten Island on December 29, 1830. He was the second son of thirteen children born to <mask> and <mask>, who were first cousins. He had 11 surviving siblings; Phebe, Ethelinda, Eliza, William ("Billy"), Emily, Sophia, Maria, Frances, Mary, Catherine, and George. He had another brother named George, born in 1832, who died as a toddler. According to official records, Corneel was matriculated at Columbia College with the class of 1850, but did not graduate with the class. When he was 18 years old, Corneel began suffering from epilepsy, which his father saw as weakness and even mental derangement, believing his son needed to be in a mental asylum.His father thought the epileptic fits were a punishment on himself for his having married his own cousin. In 1849, in order to ‘toughen him up,’ his father sent the then 19 year old Corneel off to be a sailor aboard a three-masted schooner which was making its way to California and its gold fields. However, Corneel was stricken ill when he arrived in San Francisco and drew a draft on his father in order to pay for his return to New York. Upon his return, his father had him arrested for drawing the draft and committed him to the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum. Corneel's records from the asylum state: "Form of mental disorder: dementia (supported by father)"

He was finally discharged from the asylum on February 20, 1850. Corneel being committed to Bloomingdale Insane Asylum by his father happened just five years after his mother, Sophia, had also briefly been committed by his father to the same asylum. In 1844, his father sent Sophia on a trip to Canada with one of their daughters, in order to have more private time with their governess (who promptly quit).When Sophia returned, she found that her husband had purchased a large townhouse at 10 Washington Place in New York City and intended it to be their new residence. She was so upset that she stood up to the domineering <mask> and steadfastly refused to leave their Staten Island home and friends. His father decided that she was mentally unstable due to this behavior. He told their children that their mother was "in poor health" and that she "was at the change of life." Against protests from all of their children (except William), their father had their mother committed to Bloomingdale Insane Asylum. However, the physicians there insisted she return home. When she did, she reluctantly acquiesced to her husband's demands and moved to New York City.Career

On March 4, 1849, young <mask> departed on a ship headed for San Francisco around Cape Horn to work as a crewman. Upon arrival in San Francisco, he abandoned the ship and spent all his money. When he ran out, he tried to charge his expenses to his father, who became livid and interpreted Corneel's actions as a sign of insanity. When Corneel returned to New York in November 1849, his father had him arrested and committed to the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum in New York until February 1850. After his release, he tried out several occupations, including law clerk, leather merchant, farmer, and revenue agent; all of which he was unsuccessful at. He developed a gambling problem and reportedly used the <mask> name and his considerable charm to borrow money, usually without paying them back. In particular, he obtained significant loans from Horace Greeley, the editor of the New York Tribune who was a long-time friend.Corneel was also close friends with Schuyler Colfax, who later became the 17th Vice President of the United States under Ulysses S. Grant. In January 1854, the elder <mask> again had Corneel arrested and committed to the asylum on the grounds of "confusion" and "loose habits." The doctor at the asylum reportedly told Corneel, "I am satisfied that you are no more crazy than I am," and let him go home. His elder brother William told him that they were trying to get him committed to the Asylum in order to avoid Corneel being charged criminally for his acts of forgery, to which Corneel reportedly replied that he would rather be considered a damn rascal than a lunatic. Personal life
In 1856, he married Ellen Williams (1820–1872) of Hartford, Connecticut, the daughter of a minister. The marriage was reportedly the only thing in Corneel's life that pleased his father; however, they did not have any children. With funds from his allowance, Corneel set up a fruit farm in East Hartford, Connecticut, but was unable to make the farm solvent, and had to file for bankruptcy in 1868.After his mother's death in 1868, and the death of his wife in 1872, <mask> "took up with George Terry, an unmarried hotel keeper whom Corneel considered 'my dearest friend.' Vanderbilt biographer T. J. Stiles has questioned whether the two may have been lovers, which the elder <mask> may have suspected. Their letters between each other were intense, including a letter where <mask> writes: "Oh! George I cannot give you up. You must not desert me now, but must be brave & patient, and give me encouragement and hope for the future." Terry met with the Commodore in December 1873 about a business proposition in Toledo, Ohio, to which he replied: "Mr. Terry, if you go to Toledo, what will become of Corneel?" Father's estate

Upon his father's death in 1877, his elder brother William inherited the vast majority of the Vanderbilt estate and holdings (around $100,000,000), becoming the wealthiest man in the United States.According to his father's will, Corneel was only to inherit the income from $200,000 in U.S. Bonds held in trust (receiving 5% interest), which was distributed by trustees who were cautioned to oversee his behavior. Additionally, should Corneel try to advance funds from the Trust, he would lose it altogether. After a lengthy court battle, William eventually paid Corneel an extra $600,000 ($200,000 in cash and $400,000 in additional trust) allowing him to pay off his debts, including to the estate of the late Horace Greeley, which aggregated to approximately $61,000 including interest. According to his obituary, "almost immediately after the settlement <mask>. went to Europe, accompanied by his particular friend, Mr. Terry, and remained abroad over six months." The Commodore had purchased a 110-acre West Hartford estate in 1857 as a place for his Corneel to live. The land was not developed, and after the death of Corneel's wife in 1872, the Commodore sold the property. In 1879, two years after the elder <mask>' death, Corneel repurchased the estate.After Corneel owned the estate, he built a 30-room home mansion, designed by John C. Mead, on the land. 1882 suicide
On April 2, 1882, reportedly after a night spent at a gambling house, the 51-year-old C.J<mask> committed suicide by firing his Smith & Wesson revolver into his left temple while staying in his fifth floor room number 80 at the Glenham Hotel on Fifth Avenue in New York City. He was discovered by George Terry, who was referred to in <mask>'s obituary as "his friend and constant companion." Terry was staying in an adjourning room, number 79, and reportedly rushed through the connecting door to Corneel's room upon hearing the gun shot that killed <mask>. <mask> left his recently finished mansion in Hartford, which he was supposed to move into a few weeks later, to his dearest friend Terry. Terry sold the estate, which was subdivided into 32 building lots.The mansion was torn down in 1918, and today is the West Hill Historic District. References
