Photographer pierced by javelin: Ryan McGeeney served seven years in the Marines, including a six-month deployment in Afghanistan, but 10 minutes of photographing the state high school track championships proved to be more dangerous to him. "They don't have javelins in Afghanistan," McGeeney joked.

...the best point of comparison may be Belichick himself earlier this season.
Against Atlanta on Sept. 27, Belichick went for it on fourth-and-1 from his own 24-yard line. The Patriots converted. Belichick was hailed for his you-play-to-win-the-game moxie. And in his postgame comments, he sounded strikingly the way he did Sunday night, if a lot more jovial.
Thought this was an interesting point brought up in a NY Times article

How about a pick for Minn. v. Green Bay?

My point is that sometimes players just fool everyone
Yeah, but you have to then stop playing them.

both the Olympic flame and the Chicago River burning at the same time.
It's the Cuyahoga River through Cleveland that burns.

The only rider in his contract is an additional $11 million if he takes 70% of the snaps
He probably realized that without the bonus, he needed to downsize. And really, with the two lackluster choices, could this be a reason Mangini is going with Anderson? Since neither QB was really lighting up the scoreboard, might as well go with the cheaper one.

And really, where were the parents? They just let her go with someone official looking without going with?

Former New York Giants linebacker Carl Banks sent his well wishes to Urlacher via a reporter on Tuesday. Banks suffered a lunate bone dislocation during the fourth game of the 1990 season ... ''I was told if a guy working construction had the same thing he'd be out 18 months... It's a serious injury. If that tiny bone in there comes out, it destroys his whole hand. It's an integral part of the bone structure. Anyone who thinks he should be playing through it doesn't know how serious this is. I hope he can come back and be the same player he was before the injury.''
I thought this was a relevant quote from a former player who had the same injury. I had been thinking the same about seeing players with broken wrists / hands just playing with their cast. But maybe this isn't that simple.

I caught the sarcasm, but I do want to echo BI's first comment about editorializing in the FPP.

And what's with the suspension but he can stay on the team. So he can practice with the team, taking away practice time from someone else, but he can't play in a game?
And from what I read of the apolgy, he didn't actually apologize to Hout, just to the fans, ESPN, and his teammates.

Yeah, we were just at a Kane County Cougars game and thought the same. I told my wife to always have an eye on the batter, even if you were talking to someone on the other side. We were about four rows up, just past third base. A bit too close for my comfort with my three-year old sitting next to me.

So we're just going to get this in dribs and drabs? If they're going to just keep leaking this stuff, why not just leak everyone?

I had read this earlier, and generally I would say that the US teams should not be courting the Japan minor league players. However, since this player is in a team not affiliated with any NPB team, I don't see what the problem is. Since he was open for any of the NPB teams to court, why not any team in general?

I do feel the need to jump in and say that eleven of the last twenty-five posts were direct copies of at least part of the article lead. So while I am sure that it is not preferred, and I think it is even mentioned in the site guidelines, copying the article lead has become fairly commonplace.
Though, I do agree that the personal touch is a big part of why most of us come to this site. Not just to read a rehash of an AP article.

LeBron James: Honor Jordan By Giving Up No. 23
Maybe as a tribute to Jordan's multiple comebacks, they can retire it for a couple of years, unretire it, retire again . . . - Richard Roeper
Not necessarily a big fan of his, but I really liked this thought.
