it's like bush v. gore for the football world

remember that odd, tense night in december 2000, when the supreme court handed down its decision in bush v. gore, effectively ending the myriad recounts in florida and deciding the 2000 presidential election?

well, imagine a world where NFL football is as important as the presidency (not hard to imagine, i grant you). picture the reporters, anchors and legal experts anxiously waiting for the court to hand down a ruling on the terrell owens situation.

this, my friends, is what those analysts and anchors would be furiously reading ...

In so holding, the arbitrator observed that, while the team claimed a series of past problems, there was no evidence of any previous disciplinary actions. The same may not be said here. To conclude that Owens had not been previously disciplined would be to trivialize to the point of absurdity the explicit and repeated written warnings and verbal counseling from the Coach, as well as the one-week banishment from training camp.

it reads like a court decision, only, you know, about something fun.
