Other Quick Hits 8/22: Odds and Sods

• Historic moment in Major League Baseball this week.  The Giants and Cubs had a game in which the ground was declared unplayable after a four-hour delay on Monday, with the Cubs up 2-0 at the bottom of the fifth.  Now, the game was official, since the game was in Chicago, but the ground was unplayable because the tarp was not properly dealt with after previous rain delays.  The Giants protested, and, for the first time in decades, actually won (partially).  The game was declared suspended until Thursday...  which the Giants lost 2-1.
• We can probably add another team to the fined list for drug suspensions:  The Pittsburgh Steelers, who had both Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount arrested for marijuana.
• Kent State starting center Jason Bitsko is dead at 21, dead in his apartment.  Odds that football was the cause?  IMODO, quite high.
• There was a Deadspin article about another story of an injured player literally being sloughed off while he was injured in our Great National Religion, but I can't find it to read it right now.  Watch a future blog post.
