Although I must admit that one of those felons did tell the media they were full of it in pursuing this non-story. He gets cool points for one evening.

If we're going to pick a sports poster child for un-GP and post his name here (thought it wasn't supposed to be used as a measuring stick for others....), then please let's find someone else who actually deserves the label for prolonged, demonstrated idiocy. Selecting a guy for a singular, HUMAN error in judgment is bogus.

And while I agree with the perceived intent of your smiley that this topic should have never been brought up in the first place on this forum, to ignore and downplay human talents in areas outside of engineering and technology is to do the very thing we chastise the "mainstream" folks for whenever they ignore or ridicule scientific endeavors and those who pursue them.

In a nutshell, there's room enough in this world to appreciate great sports figures AND intrepid roboteers.
