<<maybe, to you. but not to them.>> I don't think you're 100% right about that. I've watched things change (just a little) with some teams and I predict that change will continue. Conduct clauses will become very common going forward and will be enforced. There are too many good people who have a solid game to D!ck around with these punks. The change is happening now and is coming faster than you think Mark my words

but the teams will hire any thug, IMO. By that reasoning, there should be a job for Mike Tyson in the NFL.

Questions for you regarding the California governor situation: Is this a plurality vote with no runoff? Can anyone who wants to run get on the ballot, or is there a petition process where you have to gather signatures? It seems to me that there may be a dozen or more candidates. If a majority vote to nuke Davis, as seems likely, then the winner on Part B of the ballot might well have only 20 percent or so of the vote. I like Arnold's chances in that scenario. I think he would have trouble garnering a majority, but his fan base and name recognition ought to get him 20 percent of the vote without too much problem, maybe even 30 percent. In a field with a dozen or more candidates, 20-30 percent will be enough to win.
