You're making assumptions on terms.

I'm not going to tackle the many other state RFRAs, but as for the Federal RFRA:

Players: Awesome! This'll cut down on blown calls!

That was incredibly nerdy and fascinating at the same time. +1

A professional football player is going to notice vagaries in the football - without a basis for comparison - moreso that the officials who actually *test* each of the footballs before the game?

NFL rules dictate that the ball is to be inflated with between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds of air. So it's entirely possible to have…

Wait a sec!

LSU is walking on some pretty thin ice here. I would love to see this blow up in the NCAA's face.

Did you also miss the part where, after making the threat and driving off, he was pulled over by the police and proceeded to get into a fight with them?

Little-known fact: that scene originally included a Mo Lewis cameo.

Strickland: Hey, quit hasslin' me cuz' I don't speak French!

Nope. And as Jadevon Clowney proved last year, you can walk away from your college team mid-season and still get drafted without impacting your ranking too badly.

They certainly lined up like they were taking one.

It's not the first team in New Orleans to go by that name. It's been used by a string of minor-league baseball teams that have played in New Orleans. It's also the state bird of Louisiana.

The role of the court jester is way older than the role of the newscaster. So maybe you shouldn't be so surprised.

The eyeball test is also an incredibly context-dependent test.
