“JUDGE MANNING!!... we OBJECT!!

May counsel approach the bench, your Honor?

Exhibit A: You list our coach and a player that has since been the main course at our post-season barbeque as players that are most wanted. Of couse they are most wanted!! Kawika tasted GREAT! And Aaron Maybin is doing a FINE job of coaching this season. I know you want justice... and don't we all!? But if you're going to warrant arrests for these players that aren't even PLAYING anymore... isn't that an indictment of the entire history of the NBFL!?!? And if you're indicting the entire NBFL... isn't that a large indictment of professional sports in general!??!? AND.... if you're indicting professional sports in general - isn't that a condemnation of our society as a whole?!?...

WELL, I put it to you Manning... I don't know about the rest of you... but I'm not going to stand here and let HIM bad mouth the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!! GENTLEMEN!!...


... and all of the Billy Goats Gruff leave the courtroom in single file... chewing on their freshly emptied Hormel Chili cans...”
