Crime, Penalties Stupid

From Dan Steinberg:

I guess the reason why tampering is such a problem is because it starts a slippery slope. If it's ok the day before, then what stops it from being ok a week before, or a month before, or during the third Sunday of October. I don't get it.

Maybe there's a better reason than that.

I think I'd recommend instead that the NFL opens up another window to allow for pre-deadline discussions, as they were considering. I mean, I have a pretty limited pool of outrage for pro sports tomfoolery, and by the time I get through steroid use and occasional crime and "student-athletes" and stadium giveaways and the state of RFK and season ticket "waitlists" and the DH and the play-in game, I just don't have much left for lunch meetings several days before lunch is supposed to be eaten.

So if the crime is stupid, the penalties are also stupid.
