I've decided that I really don't like ESPN's redesign. The primary reason for that is that I can't link stuff for you guys like I could in the before time. I mean, I can, but it links to the full blog page - I can't just link to one post on that blog. So if you didn't get to the N&N until later on in the day and clicked on the link I had, you probably won't see what I saw. If anyone can figure this out for me, let me know. Otherwise, I guess we'll have less ESPN content in the N&N.

Now, to be clear, we're only getting one side of the story in this account. Things may have gone down a bit differently, but even if they did, I would like to think there were other ways to end the situation that didn't involve a 42-year old firefighter allegedly punching a man 36 years his elder in the face.

Judging by what happened to a bronze Spartan statue on Michigan State's campus, it appears Little Brother is in Big Brother's head.
LOOK: Jacoby Ellsbury uncorks a big bat flip ... on a foul ball - CBSSports.com
To be fair, it sort of looked like Ellsbury knew the pitch was going to be foul and flipped his bat out of frustration. Plus he's not exactly a home run hitter. Bat flip opportunities are few and far between for him. I don't blame him for flipping his bat when he had the chance.

He forgot how many baserunners there were and started walking home as if Morrison's base on balls had forced in a run. We've all seen major leaguers forget how many outs there were. Heck, that might happen once a week. But how many baserunners?
