NBA abandons biz cas

David Stern wants a dress code:
Quote:
The NBA has not yet determined what its new dress code for players will be. Stern spoke of the need to require more "professional" attire as part of efforts to have the image of players better represent the league.

Speculation soon spread that jeans would be banned and collared shirts would be required for all professional settings, from the walk from the loading dock to the locker room to team flights and bus rides.

"Being neatly attired in a certain way, that's going to be our norm," Stern told the Boston Globe. "The dress code ... is a small thing that contributes to a sense of professionalism. It's what the job entails. We've always moved to the fashion of our players. Years ago, the fashion was a jacket and tie. Now, it's a much more casual approach.

"But our referees are always attired a certain way based upon their job description when they come into the building. Our coaches are attired a certain way when they come on the court. We decided that it was time (for the players)."

Players generally have not objected to having to be "neatly attired." It is the "certain way" part that has caused concern.
ETA: to clarify, this is a proposed policy to address attire where a player might be seen, like an airport, a hotel, or walking into the corporate office on a non-game day.

I don't get the decision to throw on third and short on their last drive. They were dominating the line and had run for crazy numbers, and needed the clock to run. Incomplete. Punt. Choke.

Murphy's Law

So Torre starts Bubba in center because Bernie can no longer run, catch, nor throw.

If Bernie is playing in CF, he is too slow to get to that ball, Sheffield catches it - inning over and it's a whole different game.

Oh well, time to watch Hockey.

The Curse: Year 5

Looks like the "Curse of Hillary" remains in full force and effect.

To refresh your recollection, since Hillary, another full figured person-like the Bambino, won a Senate seat, the Yank-offs have not won a World Series. Yo go girl!

A-Rod is just like Sosa: he does nothing when it counts.

Wisconsin's secondary isn't even tertiary?

Apparently WI is mammaryphillic.

Asking a breast-feeding mother to cover-up could soon cost people in Wisconsin $200.

Looks like you're safe in Wisconsin RP.

Is there a limit to how old the baby can be? At some point doesn't it become too old for breast feeding?
