Two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties at St. Francis? Not a good example.
Is the Mitchell suspension on par with the Steve Ballmer deal, where the man can’t attend the game in any way, shape or form? Obviously, if Lance can be in the bleachers, it’s a simple matter for him to communicate with his assistants electronically. Come to think of it, since the game is at Cathedral, on the site of an old cemetery, maybe communication could be accomplished spiritually!
