Entirely correct. Then to have one of the league's top execs announce on a national broadcast that precedents were ignored altogether.

43211234 successfully avoiding chicks with dicks, that's quite a talent. There's a spot for you in every entourage.

Chris O'Dowd is also the name of the actor, what can bonus points be redeemed for?

Indeed, I've witnessed you accuse several people of "poor reading comprehension". Pure speculation on my part and I'll try to put this delicately, but I think the common denominator is just that you say retarded things.
