March 24, 2023 News and Notes

• The Staal brothers of the Florida Panthers are the latest to boycott warmups so they don't have to wear LGBTQ-positive warmups.
• The coach of the two-time defending Division II national football champions, Ferris State, has been suspended by the NCAA.
• For both championships (and against local ordinance, at least for the second), players lit up victory cigars.  Two did for the 2022-23 championship.
• For this, Tony Annese has been given a unique suspension.  The next time his team reaches the DII playoffs, he is banned for the first-round game.
• The school (which has lost only one game in two years) was also fined almost $18,000, including cleaning costs.
• The NFL is concerned an illegal entity is negotiating in the interests of Lamar Jackson.  Jackson has insisted otherwise, as have all other parties, but the NFL made sure to send a memo making sure teams negotiate with Jackson.  If they attempt to sign the franchise-tendered Raven, the Ravens have five days to match, or to get that team's next two first-round picks.
• There is a pastor in Missouri who claims a miracle that he has regrown, through the POWAH OF CHAY-SUS...  three toes in a woman in a one-hour prayer session.  Jesus wept.
