I still remember McHale clothes lining Rambis. I think this kind of dirty play has no place in the game. I'm angry at MWP for being a cheap shot artist and for hurting the team just when he/we were playing well. Regardless the length of the punishment, it was a selfish act and sours me permanently on his commitment to the team.dpitlikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490784647309367908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402031415018253257.post-59768804562482991912012-04-25T07:36:27.493-05:002012-04-25T07:36:27.493-05:00Deterrence has never worked as a policy, ever, for...Deterrence has never worked as a policy, ever, for anything. Well, I take that back. It serves as an inexplicably accepted convention that means, "We basically just want to murder this guy back, but we're not comfortable admitting that, so let's call the death penalty a 'deterrence' to future, hypothetical crime instead."Laurinoreply@blogger.com
