Discipline Blotter: I wonder if this means the end of joint practices...

The viral brawl in which the Steiner kid who's already suspended for PED's German suplexed a player has gotten both the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints $500,000 league fines for lack of sportsmanship.

Once again, I must remind you:  One of the things that the believers state with respect in their belief the NFL is not rigged is the fact that the league's largest cash-cow, the Cowboys, hasn't won a title or sniffed one in decades.

Again, a champion (not unlike some of the rigged music competition shows) represents the brand -- and it's as true for the NFL as it is for American Idol.

EDIT TO ADD 5:05 PM PDT:  Sounds like the Giants and Dolphins are probably next.  Big brawl today at a joint practice.

And this is why I keep getting banned, repeatedly, from X...

Sports to the Right, the latest WNBA/transgender part...

Game in Atlanta Sunday night.

Three fans at the game wore shirts about the WNBA transgender row.  They were all asked to cover their shirts by arena security.

The WNBA, today, said that should not have taken place.

And, for the record, the incident did not discriminate on side.  Two were bigots, the other was a supporter.

Youth Sports. ESPN. Bad Idea: Part Two.

I will be STUNNED if we get through the 10-day tournament in Williamsport, PA without a violent incident.

The qualifiers from Davenport, IA are the center of a Houston Astros-like sign-stealing exhibition, according to MSN reports.

It's the "runner on second" who taps his leg to let the batter know what pitch is coming, says the team from Wisconsin.

Someone is going to take a fastball to the dome in this tournament.

NFL Suspension Blotter and some political MLB news...

First, three more suspensions:

• Atlanta Falcons:  James Pearce suspended the for 8 games, personal conduct.  For being accused of taking his car and ramming it into his girlfriend during a domestic dispute.  Let that process.  Attempted murder gets you only 8 games in the NFL.
• Buffalo Bills:  Phidarian Mathis:  Banned for the first 3 games.  Sounds like a repeat offense of failing to cooperate with the Substances of Abuse policy.
• Washington Commanders:  Dorance Armstrong, 1 game for personal conduct, assault and resisting arrest charges under probation in 2025.

And then, it sounds like the vibes against San Francisco's Pride celebrations worked for the Giants:

The Giants and the Bay Area host the All-Star Game for MAGA League Baseball in 2028.

And yet another story of why youth sports on ESPN is a BAD IDEA...

Every year, we seem to get at least one story a year as to someone breaching the rules to try to get their local sports on the Little League World Series (and softball as well) on ESPN.

Developing story out of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Tulsa National softball team was disqualified at the championship game (one before they would go on ESPN for the Softball World Series, completed Sunday) for an ineligible player.

And now the story gets even messier:  The same has happened to the baseball team from that very same organization.  Disqualified at the championship game, as they were waiting to see who they would play.

No less than three other organizations in the tournament protested, giving at least five charges that the baseball team was also illegal.

Stay tuned.  I could foresee this getting all the way to arrests.

UPDATE:  They sued and won.  They'll play for the ESPN berth Tuesday.

AND ANOTHER TUESDAY AFTERNOON:  A higher judge reversed the decision.  Tulsa National is OUT.

Sports To The Right, Continuing WNBA Part: It's 3:25 Eastern on Monday...

Chicago plays tonight.

There is still no word on any suspension for DiJonai Carrington for either the two-armed shot to the face of Sophie Cunningham or the hateful social media screed after.

The shit is about to hit the fan if we don't hear it.

Especially in Florida, a state with no WNBA team.

The governor of the supposed "Free State of Florida" wants to make that kind of hit an off-court crime.

I would have no problem, except the fact that it's clear that it's because a MAGA cunt bitch got hit for be a bigot MAGA cunt bitch.

If this applied to all sports and levels, I wouldn't have a problem with it.  Will we see the "Cicarelli Rule" become law in Florida, possibly in other states too?
