- As can probably be expected, the referees' union has appealed the suspensions from Sunday.
- There have been 963 accepted penalties in the first 64 games of the NFL season. That's an average of 15.05 penalties per game.
- It is also a recorded record for the NFL -- records for that situation go back to about 1978.
- UEFA may want another crack at Man City after the Premier League's process is done. There is RUMOR the sanctions could come out next week, but no confirmation on that end. The first round of appeals will probably go until March.
- 6:50 PM PDT: The entire Greek system of the University of Arizona has been provisionally suspended. Every fraternity and I believe sorority as well. Misconduct allegations across the board.
An ESPN study into tanking, taken for the new draft rules going into effect this year, has come out:
- Four of the last five seasons have broken records for games with margin of victory over 20 points.
- 22% of all games last year in the NBA were decided by more than 20 points.
- From the All-Star break on forward, teams identified as tanking teams were getting blown out 20 or more at a rate well over 30%.
- By the April part of the regular season, it was over FORTY PERCENT -- of all games those teams played.
There's plenty to say about it, and I'll get to that if I have the want to.
