...wary frontline would eventually hit the wall, and, most likely, the Ivy-league’s leading scorer in Penn senior Mark Zoller would take full advantage.No one predicted that the scarcely used Brennan Votel, averaging just 1.8 points per game coming into the contest, would instead fill this void. In dropping a career-high 11 points on the Crimson, Votel seized his opportunity to step into the spotlight and squashed all hopes for a Harvard upset in the process.“Our numbers are down in the frontcourt,” Sullivan said. “That...
...people have looked away in disillusionment and frustration, we know what's filled the void. The cynics, and the lobbyists, and the special interests who've turned our government into a game only they can afford to play.

Teams often argue without success that this provision covers a host of sins, but Paul Weiler, a sports law professor at Harvard Law School, says behavior that prompts an indictment is probably just the type of bad citizenship contemplated in the language. Unless Bonds is convicted, though, "I doubt [the Giants] would enforce it," Weiler explains, because "Bonds is in his last...
