Anyone can have principles when the consequences of following them are small. The real indicator of principles is what you do when the consequences of following them are big.

I don't claim to always make the right decision in such cases. Only saints do that.

But I just don't think "I would have been done in the NFL" is enough of a justification for a lessening of the punishment.

Wasn't this statement from an earlier statement released before the punishment? I don't think this is something he's JUST now saying in hopes of getting a reduced punishment. It's part of his original release which the press was finally able to get their hands on. PFT wrote an article today describing the situation and how Hargrove isn't as bad as it seems (although not clear of guilt, obviously). I honestly haven't read much about it because I really don't care, but I don't think Hargrove is trying to weasel out of anything, necessarily.

Hargrove may well have good reasons for an appeal. I'm just saying that "they made me do it" isn't one of them.

In fact, it might be true that all "telling people about your good deeds" might do is argue against you having the wrong principles.

I don't want to take the debate any further, but I'm a firm believer that there is no such thing as a selfless action, not that there's anything wrong with that.

As for Hargrove, I don't blame him trying to do whatever it takes to get back on the field. He's already admitted he had SOMETHING to do with it, but there's no harm in attempting to make the commissioner re-think his case and perhaps reduce the punishment a game or so. I hope he does because I think Hargrove can be a difference maker for a few snaps a game off the bench. Solid depth, especially if he's motivated and pissed off.

beast (21m) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (22m) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (23m) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (4h) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (4h) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (4h) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (6h) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (6h) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (6h) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (9h) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (10h) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

beast (19h) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (19h) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (19h) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (20h) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21h) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21h) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21h) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21h) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (23h) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (23h) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : what's so funny?

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Bears are finalizing a deal to hire Ben Johnson as their head coach. (via @tompelissero )

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : Looks like Lions OC Ben Johnson is going to be the Bears coach

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : TD but another failed 2 pt conversion!

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : Ravens still alive, but barely

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Or not...BUT THAT CATCH BY NACUA

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : WE MAY HAVE BEEN PREMATURE KANATA

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Time to make dinner

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Ouch!!!! Dagger for the Eagles

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : DAGGER

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : pass plays

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Seems some of their passes are too deep. Reminds me of MLF as well.

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Oren Burks with a clutch pass break up...I will now light myself on fire

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : a run on 2nd down and 17 from McVay? So that's where MLF gets it from!

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Do or die time for the Rams

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Kicking field goals are impressive

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Oh that might be a backbreaker

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : That's what I thought too, just wasn't sure

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Kicking doesn't make much sense
