Watson and jury shopping

 The arbitrator handed down a six game suspension for DeShaun Watson in his harassment case. The NFL is appealing  this decision. This is immature and wrong because it is jury shopping. Be user they didn’t get their way they decided to appeal. You don’t pick an independent arbitrator to decide something for you and if it doesn’t go your way you squeal like an infant. Who are you to be bigger than the law?


It’s part of a post constitutional society where independent arbitrators can make binding decisions. Executive overreach is scary no matter how sacred the cause.

Mediocrity defined

 I know that I’m supposed to be excited about the Mariners and their big winning streak. However I have no faith in Jerry DiPoto the ex Met reliever  turned GM or Scott Servais the ex Cub catcher turned manager. They look like mediocre leaders who are lucky to be in a city that won’t give them a lot of grief.
