Not always. It's only been 100 years or so.

There were different types of cheating going on and the sports were also treated differently in the press. The NFL painted itself into a corner by allowing the Patriots to cheat. Once they let Spygate go with a wrist slap, they had to keep doubling down on their "greatness". It was a cash cow for the big networks so lips were zipped on the Pats, steroids and the Ray Rice type stuff. Just look at Tyreek Hill this year. The networks say nothing. It's disgusting. MLB has been reputed to be "dead" for decades. The steroids were just one more nail in the coffin. The TV money wasn't the same for the big networks because of the scheduling structure and the more local nature of broadcasts. This, and the commies trying to promote soccer, made fertile ground for baseball bashing. Good for MLB for treating the Astros like the Pats should have been treated. And the Pats are still cheating because they understand the lay of the land. Maybe all sports are gradually headed toward the Vince McMahon model.

Pelosi was on some show and gave the pish posh to the notion that protests were about anything other than just the plane. It's one thing to not support them, but to not acknowledge them is downright 1984.

To be honest, if they said the Sabres lost, I'd probably believe them.

If he leaves the Patriots or asks for too much money the charges will be reinstated.

There is a group of gay republicans called the ButlerCabin republicans. I didn't know the Masters connection. Sorry for the mixup.

I guess she had to color her hair because Brunettey just doesn't sound like a good band name.

Or Jefferson and Edwards-Hellaire or Higgins and Edwards-Hellaire or Jefferson and Etienne.

Did you say meh because he was most recently a Pat? Aaron Hernandez also a meh?

Crystal Gayle? The dude next to her is Mark Wahlberg and the chick laying down is Anne Hathaway.

IMO Butler Cabin comment was out of line because Romo is free to be both gay and Republican,. Why would that matter?

So friggin what? Even if removed the judge will just appoint a different cog.

They are simply showing who is really in charge.

Any word on Botts' petition to have us play the Red Wings in all of our games?

Will you pay him to jump Offside on the regular?

That court really doesn't have a lot of self respect. I wonder why.

Does anyone have the link to the companion article where Sabres fans are suing in an effort to achieve memory loss?

I'd like to root for Tenn and I know Vrabel didn't grow up in NE but he just looks like a chowderhead so nope.

There won't be a half dozen players we'll be able to magically acquire and make the leap that is needed. The Sabres were one of the worst teams in the league when Botts got here and they really haven't improved at all. There central issue is indeed a talent deficit. Whose job is it to acquire talent?

They are not your enemy. They are your master. Just give them all the power.

You golf fast. That's less than a minute a hole.

How active had Qabus been on the back end of all this?

RIP. Amazing talent.

Dude. I'm sure you had a nice conversation and agree politically but you have to trust me. I know a bit chopper upper when I see one and that one is a bit chopper upper. How do you keep doing this?

The Sabres thread is three clicks away.
