Some "legal" "analysis" of the fight in Detroit:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...x.html?cnn=yes

"Any player who went into the stands is very likely to face criminal charges. It could be viewed as felony-level assault because of NBA rules prohibiting players from going in the stands and because there may be some serious injuries."

Who the fuck is this guy? "Legal analyst Lester Munson"? There are a few other really stupid statements in there:

"SI.com: Can Artest or the players that were hit by fans once they were in the stands argue they were fighting in self-defense?

LM: No, that's not going to help them in the least. The significant event legally is the act of going into the stands. All that follows after that remains the responsibility of the player who goes into the stands. The legal term is proximate cause. That describes what the single factor that is the most important -- which, in this case, is Artest and the others going into the stands."

eta This is my favorite line: "No, you cannot go into the stands. It's absolute liability. Once you go into the stands you are toast in the legal system."

Ah. Indeed. There is seed to spare there.

My favorite aspect of all of this was watching Chuck Person and Rick Mahorn trying to break up, rather than instigate, the brawl. Those are some karmic turn-arounds.

Don't you mean something more like "swallow it"?

In fact, he initially typed "swallow it." But since it was RP, he thought he'd better go back and get it right.

Excuse me? Sheesh, I leave for five minutes to squeeze in a little work, and I come back to abuse.

Fringey, mark off RP as "doesn't like it rough."

I'm not convinced of that. "Work" sounds like it could have some hard edges and yet she was happily "squeezing it in."
