Let the Punishment Fit the Crime

I think there are a few minor court judges out there who are trying to invent strange punishments just so they can get news coverage. Case in point: the sentencing of a football fan to spend Super Bowl weekend in jail. This feels just a little bit like it could have happened on an episode of some David Kelley Boston-centered legal drama. (You know... one of the three or four.)

My favorite part of that story is that it comes with the video of him actually getting body slammed.

God bless the Internet and its ability to immediately gratify my need to see what words can only describe.

It was even better to see in person... because it was the BEST highlight of the game where Cleveland got smacked 42-0 (well, the only highlight if you are a Browns fan like myself).
