This is really better than revising overtime?

IMHO, Rose is different because he was only a manager at the time, I’d compare that to if they league suspended Belichick, or how I agree with suspending Sean Peyton a few years back. (disclaimer - I do repeatedly state that Rose was the best player I ever saw play the game in that era, and believe he belongs in the

I would have loved if he handled it in a more informal manner.

speaking as a life-long baseball fan (where this is commonplace), I wonder if the punishment is overkill in order to walk it back a bit on appeal.

I guess they could say “well, it looks like we need more strict control over certain things” and correct it moving forward.

I’m surprised he didn’t end up Mr Irrelevant. Or someone else in the bottom handful of picks where teams aren’t expecting to get any value anyways.

Simply probably because there was no major cash payout to Pettitte. (I’m sure he got something or other but not 6 mil.)

so is that last line of the anthem going to be altered to “home of the people cowering in fear of riots”?

Serious question: will batters still get walk-up music? Pitchers get warm-up music?

On a similar thought of big implications for subsequent seasons, I wonder about Favre and the end of his Packers run.

It'd be interesting to merge this with the facebook fan population graph you posted earlier. Sort of a "popularity ROI". Does anyone have the source numbers for the FB graph?

You're doing better than the Mets fans. In general, not just on the map.

What the hell, O'ahu? Look at the rest of your state!

Every single incomplete pass ends up with the receiver looking to the ref for a flag. They know the refs decide the whole game. Seems like the Lions coaches have noticed that.

and here I thought the NFL reached a low when they called Columbia for a consultation. Nothing against Columbia at all, mind you, just saying that we already knew the NFL admitted to having no idea what happens to balls in game situations.

a pick by the ref and illegal use of hands.

Emphasis on the almost, however. Here's my situation, which I know is far from unique: I have three alt characters, two of which are level 32, and the last one could get there if I cared to farm the shards for it. Between those three, I have almost every single good exotic and legendary weapon in the game, aside from
