    Everyone has a question and if you don't feel like making a new thread post them here.


    My question- Team A is playing Team B. These two team get into a scuffle. There was no physical contact untill of the player in Team B punches a player in team A. No matter how the league decides to punish the player, can the victum file charges and get the punching player arrested.

    If every middle class citizen in America pooled their savings together, would it be enough to start a credit card company or a bank?

    Could we then turn around and offer a 1% lower interest rate than any other agency and make money off of rich people for once?

    If it's not due just to general shifts in tastes, likely to show off the results of time spent in the weight room (follow-up: Jordan popularized it, but how did NBA shorts lengths get longer?): IIRC, Ed McCaffrey may have started this trend. I remember a Sports Illustrated or television interview with him from around a decade ago.

    The guy had some sort of OCD-level irrational belief that he could run faster if he got rid of unnecessary weight/wind resistance. He took it to extremes. So he wore the lightest pads possible, and he personally took a pair of scissors to all his uniforms, among other things, cutting off his sleeves to (in his mind) move faster/more freely. Like some baseball players who routinely cut their fingernails inning after inning, McCaffrey supposedly sat on the sidelines thinking of ways to cut off another inch from his inseam.

    My memory of this is around the time of his Pro Bowl year and success in Denver as a possession receiver. Maybe it stuck?

    Wait a minute, found it: SI: "White Lightning," 1998
    [rquoter]...But what truly sets McCaffrey apart is what he wears—or doesn't wear—once he takes the field. To rid himself of unnecessary weight, he defaces his uniform. He cuts out the lining, belt buckle and pockets of his pants, punches holes in his jersey, even slices off all but a half inch of the band above his athletic supporter, creating what amounts to a G-string jockstrap.

    The only padding McCaffrey wears is a discontinued model of shoulder pads
    (Wilson's 77-I Aggressor) that, according to Broncos equipment manager Doug West, "you wouldn't even put on a junior high kid. I've tried to take his pads from him, because they're right on the borderline of safety, but he won't let me."

    This decrease in padding leads to an increase in pain, but McCaffrey says it's tolerable. "Getting lighter probably gives me more of a psychological edge than a physical one," he says, "but I guess I had a complex about being slow, because so many things have been written."...[/rquoter]
