    While I'm sure "Funny Man With Big Beard Like Points" was compelling. I'm not necessarily sure that the player's voices are ... the best?

    Based on the ESPN report, he couldn't have been less persuasive or less well informed than the Eagles' owner.

    Perhaps players or ex players are not the best placed to know what's best for players but if there's a group of people less interested in such things, it would be the owners.

    Bizarre T20 game:

     

    Batting team, needing to win to stay in control of their own destiny (wwc t20 asia) are 192-0 after 16 overs, but notice rain off in the distance, so since T20 innings can't be declared complete like a test innings, had to have 10 people tell the umpire they were retiring out, one by one, walking to the crease, telling the ump, and walking back out.

     

    They did bowl the opponents out for 20-ish, so it worked out.

    Why they banned declarations when teams can just do that, I do not know.

    Now ask me how offensive "half the distance" penalties should be changed... 

    So called "smart" penalties are, to me, one of the most irritating things in sport and a sure sign that deliberately cheating is not being punished hard enough. Automatic scores if a foul stops a sure-fire score, please and thank you.

    I don't get why these allegations didn't come out sooner, given how high profile he's been the past few years. 

    There's an extremely cynical answer to this question that involves his down year this year, but that would be pure speculation

    This is revisionist. They changed the rules to protect Tom Brady. Every time someone tackled him without getting penalized, he'd get up and berate the refs.

    I could be wrong, but I remember him getting a Roughing The Passer call on a play he didn't even throw it. Mahomes dreams of that level of protection.

  6. The days of elite athletes being well adjusted human beings are long gone; to become a famous athlete in a well paying sport needs a level of single minded dedication that only the truly psychotic can manage.

  7. The mascot is standing on a court-side seat, so if the mascot is too close to the player then court-side seats are too close.

    Having said that, I would have thought that the referee would have had the power to move the mascot without a team having to call time out.

    Having said that, I think I can spot something else in the video that might have been more at fault for not being able to get three points in 9.4 seconds but I'm no expert in these matters.
