The potential for serious consequences and a serious offense are two different things. Sure, ignorance of the law is typically no excuse, but esoteric laws plus severe penalties is a bad combination. This isn’t Michael Vick Part 2, Electrocuted Pooch Boogaloo.

Mr. O’Connell is now relegated to family law and medical malpractice.
Under your interpretation of “fewest assists of all time,” Kobe would have had to have literally zero assists in his entire career. That you found this scenario likely enough to seek actual evidence showing otherwise says all anyone needs to hear about the distribution methods of the Bean Counter.
I’m surprised he didn’t go on to coach Kansas.
Can we all take a moment of silence for the dude who thought typing words into Google and noting the number of hits meant he was correct
Rofl, in what PT test did you have to run 2.2 miles in 10 minutes?
That quote is 100% accurate. Simers was a garbage columnist. We know this truth to be self-evident.
The Wolf Hall issue comes from Mantel’s peculiar usage of “He” to identify the current speaker. Initially, it seems as though she intends to use “He” to refer exclusively to Cromwell, which often leads to a confusing series of sentences. I don’t know why someone would say, for a made-up example, “Henry entered the…
I really enjoyed this article. I respectfully disagree slightly with the description of how difficult it is to read, with the admittedly very weird disclaimer that I listen to certain music that evolved out of reggae and dancehall, so I’ve been hearing “bomboclaat” and “Babylon” and all manner of Jamaican slang for a…

Headline changed to “Catastrophic.” Congrats on earning your kinja name.
I hear you on this, but it’s not as though we’re in a state of zero frustration that overturning the result would only exacerbate. Most right-minded Miami fans aren’t wildly celebrating this victory, both because of the disappointing season so far and because they’ve probably watched the replay and the coverage and…
I understand and respect all the points people are making here, but I find it funny that all parties involved are so adverse to overturning the result of a game within 24 hours based upon an incorrect call on the last play of the game*, whereas the NCAA has no problem telling a program that dozens of its victories…
It’s strange, I mean, we’ve had Mark May as a control group for so many years now.
Regardless, the biggest victim here is the adverb “however”
I hate Duke, and I am a lawyer :) But I do like truth and fairness, no matter who benefits from it.
(Neutral fan here) This really seems like the kind of exceptional circumstances where an appeal should succeed. There were several different mistakes by the refs, all of which work out in Duke’s favor, and all of which, if called correctly, end in a Duke win: 1) The flag thrown for an illegal block cannot be reviewed;…
