| NFL’s celebration penalties aren’t about sportsmanship. They’re about control. | -21 | 2016-10-18 00:00:00 | Because, see, marijuana leads to heroin, and football players are children who don’t know when to stop. “I don’t think excessive celebration should cost more than guys hitting other guys in the helmet,” Brown told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. In the NBA you see a lot more turnover in ownership, but in the NFL, everything passes down generationally. But the NFL leadership goes further than any of its competitors in its paternalistic, authoritarian us-vs.-them attitude toward players. The league’s flagging of “excessive celebration” with 15-yard penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct is straight out of the turn of the century and yet another exercise in imperial power. | JNJ | {"Sally Jenkins Is A Sports Columnist For The Washington Post"} | 500 |

| Daniel Cormier vs. Anthony Johnson placed atop UFC 206 in Toronto as Georges St-Pierre waits | -7 | 2016-10-06 00:00:00 | Instead of “The Return,” it’s “The Rematch.”The UFC announced that light-heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier’s second fight with hard-punching challenger Anthony Johnson will take place at UFC 206 on Dec. 10 in Toronto. St-Pierre hasn’t fought in the UFC in three years, after surviving a rugged test against challenger Johny Hendricks. Cormier, of San Jose, had his July date with former champion Jon Jones scrapped when Jones failed a test for a banned substance. The card at Air Canada Centre, home of the NHL’S Toronto Maple Leafs and NBA’s Toronto Raptors, was seen as a natural return spot for former long-reigning welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre of Canada. For Cormier (18-1), the rematch with Johnson (22-5) revisits their May 23, 2015, bout in which Johnson dropped Cormier with a punch before ultimately being forced to submit by the former Olympic wrestler. | JNJ | {"Lance Pugmire","Los Angeles Times"} | 707 |

Washington Post political reporter David Weigel spoke with Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson, a former governor of New Mexico, in Cleveland Thursday during the Republican National Convention. He told me that Johnson is more worried about what will happen to the economy if we don't cut spending than if we do. Except that instead of calling for us to give everyone Medicare or paid family leave, Johnson wants us to cut our budget and cut back on monetary stimulus like they did. He wants to cut spending by 20 percent next year to get the government back in the black, and then veto any legislation that would make the red ink return. | JNJ | {"Matt O'brien Is A Reporter For Wonkblog Covering Economic Affairs He Was Previously A Senior Associate Editor At The Atlantic"} | 759 |
