This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Greg Bell story by ndlaw84
Spring of 84, Greg Bell was sitting in on our Sports (99%) and Entertainment(1%) law class in the Law School when an NFL agent was speaking. Tony Hunter's agent was in and had just lined up a contract making Tony the 2nd highest paid tight end in the NFL. Greg inquired about what the agent thought a 3rd or 4th round draft pick would receive money wise that year. Given his limited playing time at ND, that seemed like an appropriate question. Remarkably, in the draft, Greg goes in the first round to Buffalo, and if I remember correctly rushed for over 1,000 yards as a rookie. That was probably more yards than his entire ND career in four years.
