As a child, I was always taught that the three-strike rule in baseball also applies to getting in trouble. In fact, the idea of getting in trouble three times at the same school or with the same team normally leads to a parting of the parties. In the case of the Jacksonville Jaguars and wide receiver Justin Blackmon, whether this third strike leads to a parting of ways is still in the air.
“Plagiarism" is an ugly word coined circa 1615-1625 to describe authors who steal the ideas of another. In recent times, bestselling authors such as J.K. Rowling have been subject to plagiarism lawsuits.
It is no lie that the amount of money paid to professional athletes is absolutely ridiculous. We are at a time where we actually cheer for athletes when they decided to take a pay cut of a few million to help out their team, while they are still being paid at least another few million.

If we (and Brock Huard) have got the count right, Matt Hasselbeck was touched twice (2 times) by the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
