    I can't believe he told her to "stay away from the booze, the pressbox and the columnist" prior to the game that morning. Of course, he could have; I wasn't there. At the end of the day, however, I don't think her behavior is totally in control of Mike Bellotti. Ultimately, she makes the final calls on what she does.

    POO, she may be entitled to a box through his contract with the university. I would imagine the university would be able to revoke her box privileges, but I doubt he has direct control over that, especially if there is a divorce case here on the horizon.

    And so evolves another chapter of idiocy in this, our overly litigious society.


    Maybe I can have some woman grab me by the labels so I can make some money this week.

    Lyman mentioned nothing about filing a suit. He mentioned pressing assault charges, which may be necessary for Mrs. Bellotti to get the message that her behavior is unacceptable.

    And I'm sure he would do it quite smugly.

    I know you aren't suggesting that a drunken reader can accost us at will and get away with it.

    I may be wrong (and I haven't been there in awhile), but I thought the VIP suites at Autzen were on the opposite side of the field from the press box and another bunch behind the end zone.
    If that's the case, she and family had to actively seek out Canzano and come around to the working box to do it.

    wicked, I'm saying the same thing we've all debated before. You know I am.

    I in no way, shape, or form endorse what the wife and the nanny did.

    But read the tone of the blog. I've been around smug enough to know it when I see it.

    I'd be willing to bet I could prevent this behavior from my wife, as could most.

    Oh, I don't know if I could control any behavior from my wife, if she wanted to exhibit it.

    It's called living in the 21st century.

    Right, shot. She's bar-footed and preagnunt, rat now, stirring a stew in thu kichen'.

    Gimme a break, man.

    Sp,

    I'd start by asking her not to behave in such a manner.
