"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

One more reason why the NFL irritates me...

The NFL fines Jake Plummer (former QB that led my beleaguered Cards to their first playoff victory in forty-some-odd years) for honoring friend and former teammate Pat Tillman.

During week #2 of this season, the NFL had all the players wear a #40 sticker on their helmets... for that week only. The Arizona Rattlers wore #40 stickers from the time of Tillman's death in April, until the end of the season (when they lost 69-62 to the San Jose Sabercats in Arenabowl XVIII) in June.

Since then, Jake has continued to wear a #40 sticker and the schmucks of the NFL continue to fine him.

Schmucks.
