Comeds is delivering out Harsh Justice...



...a new show centered around Danny Harsh, a local judge who has a no-nonsense approach to the law. This winter on NBC.

The pilot got picked up?!? Yes, hiring you as my entertainment lawyer was the best move I every made!

6 to 10.

If Kneel only got 5 for a knee to the head Thornton should not get a heckuva lot more.

Pretty sure you're committing a logical fallacy by using Kneel's actions to compare to Thornton's and if Quoi was still around he'd let you know about it.

Kneel's action was during the course of play - Thornton's was after the whistle - ie not a hockey play so to speak.

That's some solid math you did. Irrefutable really.

If you ask me, it doesn't add up at all. We seem to be divided on this. It doesn't however subtract from your other good qualities as a poster. I think the amount of games will multiply.

Sorry for being so obtuse about it.

This is the equation for all basis of all shanaban suspensions. Per rumors Jeremy Roenick came up with this theory for Shanaban.

With a = Kneel and x = Thorton for this example......

a = x [true for some a's and x's]
a+a = a+x [add a to both sides]
2a = a+x [a+a = 2a]
2a-2x = a+x-2x [subtract 2x from both sides]
2(a-x) = a+x-2x [2a-2x = 2(a-x)]
2(a-x) = a-x [x-2x = -x]
2 = 1 [divide both sides by a-x]

:noidea:

You've got an acute sense of when to use hyperbolic rhetoric geometry.

Trying to triangulate the exact number it's not as easy as it seems.

I think 10 but the category 6-10 seemed too low so I said 11-15.

Do we have to start a new poll on when they are going to announce this?

Geesh - it's a suspension, not the OJ trial. Speed it up a little.

Agree the longer it takes the more likely that they are planning on making this a major news announcement. Making a example out of Thornton. I am now suspecting 20+ games.
