| | rantnrave:// JOHN COPPOLELLA will go down in baseball history. Probably not like he wants to but he's in the record book now. Fourth living person to be permanently banned by MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL. PETE ROSE bet on baseball. JENRRY MEJIA failed three drug tests. CHRIS CORREA hacked into the ASTROS' internal computer database. Coppolella, the former BRAVES GM, broke MLB rules on international spending and free agency. Does it matter that the Braves probably weren't the only ones doing something like this? He made a mockery of the rules (until he got caught). He signed players by combining signing bonuses to get around MLB's international spending limits. He forged agreements with an underage prospect two years before he could sign. Should MLB have a system in place to limit payments? It's nearly consensus that talent mining in LATIN AMERICA is like the Wild West. Would taking out restrictions make it worse? Force teams to police themselves and watch their own checkbooks? Would it take away the stink of cheating for MLB teams if there are no rules to break? The Braves lose the rights to 12 players they had already signed. Some $20 million is gone. They'll be handcuffed in international free agency through 2021. How will they build a farm system without importing major Latin American prospects? MLB isn't doling out the death penalty but the Braves got rocked. Coppolella's career is ruined. Does the penalty match the crime? Is he a sacrificial lamb for commissioner ROB MANFRED as he tries to show the league is getting tough?... THANKSGIVING is supposed to be the NFL's holiday and it might have Thursday but college football has the whole weekend. It's going to be wild. OLE MISS-MISSISSIPPI STATE is juicier than ever because a self-starter Mississippi State fan with '80s hair band tattoos and a purpose helped take down ex-coach HUGH FREEZE. We're gonna get the best ALABAMA-AUBURN game since the KICK SIX. Who's going to get fired? Who's getting CHIP KELLY? Who's getting into the playoff?... It's still not safe to talk politics on Thanksgiving. Might not be safe to talk about the NFL either. Stick to the parade. Always read JASON GAY'S rules for Thanksgiving touch football... KLAY THOMPSON isn't a real NEW YORKER yet... Time is just a flat circle... SportsREDEF won't be in your inbox Thursday and Friday morning. Have a happy THANKSGIVING and enjoy your turducken. We'll be back Monday. | | | - Mike Vorkunov, curator |

| Although Cal won the game, one of the lasting memories from the ordeal was a fake issue of The Daily Californian, Cal’s student newspaper, that members of The Stanford Daily staff published four days following the game.
