Answers to fantasy baseball questions (and much more) since 1996
ESPN.com – NHL – Theodore tests positive, blames result on Propecia
The second hair growth drug test story of the day. Jose Theodore says he’s been taking Propecia for eight years to grow his full head of hair. Hey, it works! At least Zach Lund had the decency to have a receding hair line.
Stealers – How the referees handed Pittsburgh the Super Bowl. By Robert Weintraub
Is it just me, or isn’t the big story of just about every championship game/series these days about the role of the referee/umpire/judge in determining who wins and who loses?
Fantasy Stats and the Intellectual Property Debate –Maury Brown
MLB Advanced Media, for which I work sometimes, continues to assert increasing control over the rights to player and team names. I can see why they’re pursuing revenues this way, but there are serious questions about what intellectual property the game owners actually own, and what is in the public domain. On January 19 MLBAM made a deal with the MLBPA for the exclusive rights to all player names and likenesses for online games, which at least centralizes who is in charge. Maury Brown explains most of what this all means.
For the rest, we need the courts to decide.
