Does anyone know why so many locals are suddenly into 80's female supergroup the Bangles?

Besides the obvious, I mean.


Seriously though, everything around here is Bangles Bangles Bangles. Dey is apparently going to win the Super Bowl or something. I think people are confused. Maybe Dey is going to play the halftime show. Most people don't seem to know much about them because they keep asking Who dey is.

Who dey is, is an 80's pop band. Wimmen pop band.

My concern with the league is their seeming feelings of entitlement to evidence not available to the public. And beyond that, the fact that they actually seem to be successful in doing so. And beyond that, what their real motivations are surrounding that evidence - I know they say it's related to discipline by the league, but it also seems purposed towards preparing the spin for these issues rather than taking a REAL stand against them.

In fairness to the league on this one, they suspended Hardy for 10 games. The NFLPA appealed and his suspension was reduced to four games by an arbitrator.

Some of that is likely their own fault because of the precedent set with situations like Ray Rice. But I give them credit for at least trying to come down on this one.

How about those Florilina Panthers?

Eh, it's not like either fanbase would ever notice.

That's why Aaron Rodgers is elite. He can put up points even if the game is played on ice. Total disadvantage to him in those conditions and he kept it close.

What I want to know is what does it actually take to get banned from the NFL? If what Hardy & Rice did can't get a player kicked out of the league I really have no idea what will. Heck, I thought Belichek should have been banned for life for Spygate & he didn't even get suspended for 1 game.

As long as no one bets on it and sullies the integrity of the game?


So, I looked it up.

My snark was correct, Art Schlichter (how I didn't know that, living here) bet on games. Also, one of the guys who has abused drugs got banned for life too.

I'm disappointed the dog's name is "Scout", I was hoping for "Omaha"
