You may have reached a correct conclusion about ESPN's potential legal liability for entirely the wrong reasons: 1. Repeating someone else's defamatory statement is NOT a defense for broadcaster ESPN: http://www.answers.com/topic/slander-and-libel 2. But because the GM of an NFL franchise is arguably a celebrity or public figure, Loomis might have to show that ESPN acted with reckless disregard for the truth or falsity of the reported information (i.e., with actual malice) when it republished the report in order to win a civil suit against ESPN, even if what ESPN reported turns out to be totally false: There was a pretty good movie called "Absence of Malice" that dealt with this topic some years ago.

Here's a surprise - - three of helmet maker Riddell's insurance carriers say that the concussion-related health claims being made by former NFL players fall outside the scope of the insurance policies Riddell bought, so Riddell has now filed its own suit against those three insurance carriers: http://www.cnbc.com/id/47042055 P.S.

While I agree with you that a future owner of the Bills is likely to have more debt than Ralph, there is reason to believe that Ralph had about $128 million in team-related debt as recently as 2009: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/130751-conventional-wisdom-bills-have-no-debt-service/page__p__2173076__hl__%2Bconventional+%2Bwisdom__fromsearch__1#entry2173076 I don't know where or how Forbes magazine got their info about Ralph's 2009 team-related finances, but Forbes is considered a generally reliable source of financial information by most people.

I'm a citizen, but if they don't want me to be distracted by the nurses I encounter at the Citizens Medical Center, then they are eliminating the wrong people from their applicant pool.

Found another consistent source - - apparently the rule used to be that an assistant coach could always interview for a coordinator job because it was considered a promotion, but that is no longer the rule: http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/bucs/content/nfl-teams-will-continue-be-permitted-block-assistants-under-contract

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/25/sports/football/stormy-honeymoons-for-two-new-nfl-coaches.html I found a link to an undated copy of the NFL's anti-tampering policy - - can't vouch for its accuracy, but FWIW: http://www.dawgtalkers.net/uploads/2009%20NFL%20Anti-Tampering%20Policy.pdf Schiano's comments about teams using "half-baked titles" seems to indicate that teams are at least claiming that an "assistant head coach" falls under the "head coach tier." As I read it, other teams could prevent Schiano from interviewing their current assistant coaches and coordinators (even without "half-baked titles") for the Buc's vacant coordinator positions because the NFL anti-tampering policy divides all coaches into only 2 categories - - (1) a head coach tier, and (2) everybody else. So by definition any assistant position coach, offensive or defensive coordinator, or even grand imperial pubah of special teams is interviewing for a lateral move (for purposes of the anti-tampering policy) if he interviews for a vacant coordinator position. Anybody read it differently?

You've said a number of things I agree with - - here's one: When you get off the soapbox and stop complaining about how access to justice isn't the same for everyone in our capitalistic society, let's talk about the part of your prior post that I still disagree with. Here it is: The parts I highlighted in bold simply aren't true. According to you, mere knowledge of someone else's intent to commit a crime is itself a "prevalent" crime in the US court system, and some laws are "clearly worded" to show that such knowledge alone is itself a crime. If that's true, it shouldn't be very hard or time consuming for you to provide one verifiable example of such a prosecution or the text of one such law. I get that (1) prosecutors have the ability to use the full weight of the government's justice machinery to roll over the poor, weak or stupid, and (2) poorly paid public defenders often aren't the sharpest tools in the legal shed. But that has nothing to do with how the criminal laws are worded, or whether mere knowledge of someone else's intent to commit a crime is itself often prosecuted as a criminal offense.

1. Mario Williams will go deer hunting in Jim Kelly's back yard and discover that what he actually saw were animatronic Christmas decorations that Jimbo never took down. He will quit the team and move to Kenya so he can hunt big game on safari; 2. Kelsay will find incriminating photos of the next owner of the Bills and get another big contract extension; 3. Some idiot will suggest that Ralph may have already granted an option to purchase the Bills to somebody in Toronto; 4. Fitz will retire and become an Amish elder; 5. ESPN's John Clayton will mysteriously disappear 3 days after an alien mother ship is sighted over Bristol, CT; 6. Doc and Mr. WEO will agree on something.

Sadly, if we had drafted a "punt catcher" to replace the legendary Chris Watson, we might not have lost that 6-3 game to Cleveland a few years ago. Let's not make that mistake again. While we're at it, let's draft a "kick-off watcher" who is able to watch kick-offs go through the end zone with a late lead against New England, rather than "pulling a McKelvin."

FWIW: http://law.justia.com/codes/louisiana/2011/rs/title14/rs14-26/ For an overview of various circumstances in which courts have considered whether sports violence is legally actionable (in either a civil or criminal case), see: http://sportslaw.uslegal.com/sports-violence/

I haven't bothered to look up whether the RICO conspiracy statute has been amended, or if the courts have changed their interpretation of it, but here's what one federal appeals court said in 1997 about what the government must prove to make out a RICO conspiracy case: http://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/55087F3B51C2F08C85256F120065D7D8/$file/95-3157a.txt Sounds to me like your "friend of a drug driver" example is way off base. But then again, I have never claimed to have any particular education or work experience here, and may not be a "pretty informed dude."

To the OP: I had NFL Rewind for the first time last season - - if you have a fast enough Internet connection the picture is HD. You can check picture quality for your particular Internet connection by signing up for the preseason package - - price declines as you get closer to the regular season. I signed up for something like $5 when there was only 1 preseason game left just to check my video quality at home. If it's fast enough to get acceptable picture quality, you can then sign up for the whole regular NFL season for about $40. And if you want to stream Internet video to your TV so you can watch on a bigger screen, several options are explained here: http://www.dailyfinance.com/2011/02/22/savings-experiment-cutting-the-cord-on-cable-tvs-pricey-bill/?ncid=txtlnkusdail00000004 Good luck.

I think some nerd must have gotten a federal grant to build his own Terminator prototype. Either that, or SkyNet sent it back in time to kill Sarah Conner.
