A sting operation is when the enforcement entity (here, the NFL) deliberately creates the conditions that would enable the target to engage in wrongdoing. For example, it would be a sting if the NFL had McNally offer to cheat with the balls, and Brady accepted. Here, the NFL learned of a possible planned wrongdoing,…

it is common knowledge in the legal industry that reports like this generally are written for the benefit of the purchaser.

Gee, where would they find someone with such intricate knowledge of how to operate a ball pump? Surely McNally’s expertise makes him as unique as heart surgeons and astronauts.

If he doesn’t get suspended, if I’m anyone in the Saints organization I am raising hell.

No, because the guy was clearly being sarcastic and anybody with a 3rd grade education could read between those lines.

This suggests it may be more probable than not that the league cooperated with the Colts in perpetrating a sting operation.

I love it how people are still claiming that the NFL is trying to deliberately ruin their poster boy. When in fact history has shown that they will do everything to sweep things under the rug to maintain the legacy of the great American Poster child.

Yeah, but it shows baseball players having a sense of humor which probably breaks another unwritten rule.

very first pitch he ever saw.

Kinda sucks for him. It’s not like he is going to homer on every single pitch he ever sees. It’s all downhill from there.

After the game, a reporter asked Rosario about his family filming the moment.

God help them if they only have implied oral consent. That simply doesn’t cut it.

He should’ve retired after he got back to the dugout and left the game on a high note—pull a Costanza.

I hope the family as the expressed written consent of MLB to replay that video to friends.

The most impressive part of this feat is that of the 4 people filming it, they all had their camera’s oriented correctly.

It’s like the George Carlin bit about him not stopping when he runs someone over with his car. “Hey, that was back then, what’s that got to do with me now?” Bludgeoning with your past, give me a break. When he refuses to negotiate some players contract if she won’t fuck him, AkronKing 79 will be SHOCKED!

Greg,

Dear AkronKing79,

Bless him, Isaiah is a hell of a statement parser. If you watch the 30 for 30 on the Pistons, he adamantly denies that he ever said that Bird would just be another player if he were black. Which is technically true—Rodman said those words, Isiah just agreed with him.

When conclusive proof that your description of a court case is wrong fits in a Tweet, you fucked up.
