DADT... Don't Assume Don't Touch?

Justin Smith after the game was reported to have said that he didn't realize that he was pushing an official. "It was me and the tight end," Smith said to reporters, "and next thing you know it was an arm and it was just a reaction. But a rule's a rule."

A rule's a rule? OK not the guy that you ask to make split second decisions for you. He knew going into the game that putting your hands on an official as a player is a no - no. He knew that and did it anyway. Why? Because he has been told that he is the best defensive player on his team, or at least the best defensive lineman on the team one time too many. That in most egotistical minds says I have the right to do what I want, I am not the law, I am above the law!

Did people come to watch Rodman kick camera men in the midsection during Bulls games? Are they comparing the Black Mamba to the Worm? Sarcastically grinning, and shaking my head and saying: Noooo......! But to some it is a bonus feature. A great fan wants to see a great game, not a fool in a great game. He should be made an example of.

Ex-coach Alosi should be made an example and I believe the last word was that he has been canned, and banned. Good for the Jets, the NFL, for game. League owners, team owners, team coaches (props to Avery Johnson), team captains please, please, please bring more axes, and chop a few more heads and get the above the law players off of your fields, courts, courses, and tracks!

Props to my wife's brother on the LeBron call, this video is dedicated to you. He made a comment about LeBron running around the court in the Knicks game like he was an airplane. Class Act or No Class? I have to say that Mike Tolbert... whom had his helmet ripped off, and played on is a Class Act! That my friends is a classy, and a manifestation of play that is worthy of "earning" a nice salary. In my book Mike Tolbert is a player that deserves both player, and fan admiration! I am not a Charger hater, but certainly not a fan. However, you Mike Tolbert, have a new fan in me.

Should Athletes Pay Back Impermissible Funds?






Greg Little was declared permanantly ineligible after taking impermissible funds. So my question is what would be fair punishment? Is being displaced from the team, and declared ineligible for NCAA Athletics enough? Is it too strick to make them pay restitution back to the university, or school in which he has given a blackeye? If so, should the fine be great enough to bring down his agent, or agency as well? What say you?
