Only *wearing the robes*?  That's a weaksauce reenactment.  They should have burned a cross, or even better, participated in a school-sponsored lynching.

Jesse Jr. for Kirk?

Alexi is dead meat.  The only question is if he figures in out in June or November.

Interesting decision on American Needle.  Interesting meaning unanimous in support of American Needle against the NFL.

This will be a big factor for the upcoming NHL and NFL negotiations.

So, a few questions on this...

1. Does this mean that certain teams can sell their marketing/licensing rights to the highest bidders?
2. Could this affect NCAA sports as well?

Depending on the district court retrial, yes.
Yes, they were amici in the suit in favor of the NFL.

George Steinbrenner and Jerry Jones just passed out from the blood rushing to their boners.

Actually, since baseball is exempt from the anti-trust laws, I don't think this would apply to baseball.

It doesn't, but if Congress decided to act, it would.

In 1972, in Flood v. Kuhn the Supreme Court acknowledged that baseball's antitrust exemption was "an anomaly," but the Court ruled that it is up to Congress to change baseball's antitrust exemption. Bills were introduced before and after, but none ever became a law

Well, this is just fucking dandy.

Last week, an Illinois judge rejected Chicago artist Christopher Drew's motion to dismiss the Class I felony charge against him. Drew is charged with violating the state's eavesdropping statute when he recorded his encounter with a police officer last December on the streets of Chicago. A Class I felony in Illinois is punishable by 4 to 15 years in prison.

Can someone explain to me how this statute is Constitutional?

It looks like this rule was toughened in the early 1990s. Was this fallout from Bruce Pearl and Deon Thomas?

I'd just like to know where the hell in Chicago this could have taken place that it wasn't recorded on one of the City's own cameras to begin with?

Nothing. I should be so lucky as to have a facility for that sort of thing. It's the moralizing condescension that gets my goat.
