EDITED with new information 11/20.
Ed Reed of the Baltimore Ravens was suspended for one game for his third violation of hitting defenseless receivers.
My take: I can understand people thinking it's harsh, but it's his second this season and third in two years for this same act. League has to take action to be taken seriously (HAR HAR HAR) on the subject. We'll see what the arbitrators rule -- the appeal will be heard by two arbitrators, one paid by the league, one by the players' union, and will be heard to make his eligibility for the next game clear (Sunday vs. San Diego).
His appeal was successful, and Reed will play Sunday -- however, he becomes a TWO TIME LOSER with a $50,000 fine for his second offense.

I have several articles I've been a bit behind on, but blame some of my other writing (and not just on other blogs -- I'm a Nanowrimo participant as well), Real Life, and screwed-up November for that.
But an article which will probably be my second on Brian Tuohy's website goes to the front of the line.
I'm going to be taking a look at the new #1 BCS team, and three calls which might well have allowed the BCS and ESPN to "Cheer, Cheer For Old Notre Dame" right to the bank -- and to a classic matchup of two classic powers for the BCS National Championship...
... a matchup between two teams who have not played each other for 25 years now.
