Pete Rose still has a lifetime ban from baseball. I wonder if the ban will actually be lifted when his life is over; so far, Shoeless Joe Jackson's seems to have an eternal ban rather than a lifetime ban, since he's long since assumed ambient temperature and is still barred from the Hall of Fame.

Rajon Rondo seems to have issues, but the one-game ban he just got reminds me of the old joke about the Soviet soldier getting 20 years for calling the general an idiot; only six months was for insulting an officer, the rest was for reveling a state secret.
Rondo let loose with some sort of homophobic pejorative at Bill Kennedy after he had tossed him; turns out the Kennedy did like guys and outed himself formally, although it seems that his status was known but not publicized.

The president says we're hitting ISIS (or ISIL as he prefers) harder than ever; does that mean we're using four wet noodles rather than three.
