Apenas um hunch, mas após o que nós vimos segunda-feira na corte em Richmond, eu suspeito que nós muito não ouviremos os homens de Baha “quem deixam os cães para fora?” jogado sobre os loudspeakers do NFL que começam o domingo após em seguida. (Como eu soube quem os homens de Baha eram; ah, chamada de Google.) isto os Joelho-empurrões do disaffected cada vez mais o ventilador contemporary dos esportes.
- Uma personalidade de rádio de ESPN fêz exame à notícia da raposa última noite e relatou que desde o ano 2000, mais de 300 NFLers estiveram prendidos. Mais do que três cem. Esta personalidade de ESPN consultou a este estado de casos como clima da liga o “do criminality.” Ya pensa?
- Nós necessitaremos uma canaleta adicional de CourtTV meramente cobrir o jurisprudence criminal do moderno, non-hockey-jogando o atleta pro?
- Seria interessante ir para trás a tempo, a um ano fundando de ESPN de 1979, e compara o valor de uma semana de histórias de SportsCenter então como se relacionaram ao criminality do atleta contra aquele aproximadamente 25 anos de mais tarde.
- A marca Twain é alegada para ter dito famosa que quis ser em Cincinnati no dia o mundo terminado, figurando que terminaria lá consideravelmente mais tarde. Mas que se Twain poderia ter sido introduzido ao Cincinnati contemporary Bengals, que possuem sua parte justa das mais de 300 caminhadas do perp? “Eu quero estar em Newark no dia onde as extremidades do mundo” não lhe têm completamente o mesmo anel.
- No clima atual do criminality dos esportes, nós podemos realmente admitir toda a discussão mais adicional de fechar Gitmo?
- No relativity: Eu estou indo ser no Midwest este fim de semana do dia Labor, mantendo um olho em meus footballers Irish de combate beloved. Anos de parte traseira, os furacões ruffian então percebidos de Miami visitaram o Stadium de Notre Dame, e o t-shirt dos estudantes do ND introduziu no mercado o matchup como “Catholics contra Convicts.” Steve Walsh que eu acredito era os bastões QB do `então. Mas além de ser um bocado boorish por os tempos, os bastões do `do `90 têm realmente qualquer coisa no grossness do gridiron de hoje?
- Eu tenho-o na autoridade razoavelmente boa que o escritório da segurança do NFL não emprega nenhum número pequeno do recrutado com sucesso, ou aposent--mas-ainda-em-seu-principal, pessoal de FBI. Aparentemente são muito, muito ocupado no leadup ao esboço de NFL. Um poder pro da liga faz bem para empregar um vet do departamento para dirigir acima de seu escritório da segurança, mas um exército veritable deles?
- He’d never admit it, but if anyone in America is grateful (in muted fashion) for the current mess in Atlanta and Virginia, it’s David Stern. Doesn’t the Pacers-Pistons brawl of 2004, and all of the talking head tongue wringing it ocassioned, seem like a calamity of about 22 years ago?
- A generation or so ago pro tennis was plagued by bad actors on its courts, and today it’s known for the comparatively quiet and respectful demeanor of its athletes. I get mildly optimistic thinking about this example. But then I think: there’s a world of difference between Ille Nastase screaming obscenities at a linesman and say a QB electrocuting or hanging canines.

Dude, give it a rest. There are bad people in every profession. You don’t need to denigrate someone else to make yourself look better.
Cat lover?
“In the current climate of sports criminality, we can really admit any further discussion of closing Gitmo?”
Wait. What?
I’m pretty sure it was a joke about so many criminals coming out of the sports world that closing any prisons, even Gitmo, would cause uncontrolled overcrowding.
Man, explaining a joke pretty much takes all the humor out of it, eh?
Any chance we can get the Richmond Renegades to change their name and logo? I was thinking it would be fitting if they changed to the Richmond Pit Bulls.
That shot wasn’t too close to home was it?
MV will be fine once his “Open Pit Bull BBQ Sauce” hits the market.

You hear less about hockey infractions in the media because you hear less about hockey in general … a point this blog endlessly hammers like a five-year-old.
The NFL suspended Vick for two reasons: lying and gambling. Not for the dogs themselves. Interestingly enough, the only time the NHL can make the papers beyond the back pages is when they a) decide to cancel an entire season or b) on the heels of that lost season, find themselves mired in gambling news of their own.
Keep on trying to pretend that the largely white population — wait, I’m sorry, your term was two-parent families — that plays hockey is better than the largely black population that plays basketball and football.
P-Mac, you’ve given us an unprecedented and engrossing line of investigative inquiry: that significant criminality exists in hockey but simply is covered up by the sport’s deficit media. Promise, I’ll get right on it; I have insiders contacts in the sport that can aid. In the meantime, as our blog strikes you as all too often merely the racist ramblings of pre-juveniles, we obviously will be losing you as a reader; surely you can’t continue your patronage — what would that say about your online reading habits?
The number 300 is nice and vague. Do you have this number broken down by charge — attempted murder, dogfighting, DUI, domestic abuse, assault? How about by player — does this number include Pacman Jones just once, or all five times he has been arrested since he left college? Does this include players who have simply appeared in the league at least once since 2000, and may have found handcuffs after leaving the league? Do you have the same numbers for the NHL, NBA, MLB, and MLS during that time period?
Try not to forget that in that same time period — “since the year 2000″ — hockey seems to be the only sport where criminal charges have been considered, twice, for actions performed during the game, as part of the game.
Both the NFL and the NBA couldn’t be less worthy of attention.

Have to agree with Rage about your post…, plus there are a number of character people in the NHL, there are a number of players and ex-players that have gotten themselves in trouble with the law, etc.
