Rose signs 'lifetime' contract with Adidas
Deal reportedly worth $260 million[/center]
By K.C. Johnson, Chicago Tribune reporter - 10:53 p.m. CST,
February 25, 2012
ORLANDO, Fla. — Two months after signing a five-year, $95
million contract extension with the Bulls, Derrick Rose has
really struck it rich.
Rose said he signed a "lifetime" contract with Adidas, which a
source confirmed is for 14 years and $260 million.
CSNChicago.com first reported that figure.
"Man, it's definitely a blessing," Rose said. "They've been with
me since the beginning and stuck with me and I'm happy I'm a
part of them for the rest of my life. They've been doing
everything promotional-wise to make sure they put me out there,
marketing me great all over the world. That's all I needed from
them."

Junior Hockey on Cusp of a Revolution: Trying to Stop Fighting
By JOHN BRANCH - Published: February 27, 2012
FRESNO, Calif. — Viewing fighting as a safety issue in light of
increasing concussion research, and unwilling to wait for the
National Hockey League to propose changes, USA Hockey and Hockey
Canada are seriously considering rules that would effectively
end fighting in nonprofessional leagues as soon as next season.
The rules would apply to dozens of leagues stretching from near
the Arctic Circle to south Texas. Even the three top junior
leagues in Canada, major fight-friendly feeder systems to the
N.H.L., are considering immediate ways to make fighting a
rarity, not an expectation.
“The appetite is there,” said David Branch, the president of the
Canadian Hockey League, which oversees the Ontario Hockey
League, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and the Western
Hockey League. “The time is certainly right to move forward.”
Hockey has long been a rare team sport that widely condones the
interruption of a game so two or more players can trade punches.
But for boys starting at age 16 or so, from the rough-and-tumble
junior leagues to the N.H.L., fighting has usually been
minimally penalized (often with five minutes in the penalty box)
and thus widely practiced, condoned, even celebrated.
That may change soon. The increased recognition of the long-term
dangers of brain trauma, across all sports, has forced hockey’s
leaders to consider ways to reduce blows to the head.

Hmm.... It'll take a long time to take the fighting culture out
of the game.
I have MANY thoughts on this, but no time right now. I'm sorry
to keep you all waiting on pins and needles, but I'll try to
formulate some cohesive thoughts and string them together in a
post soon.

Fighting in hockey is idiotic and detracts from the game action.

All it takes is international rules at the Olympics and it's
gone, Mere seconds.

Now take those half dozen Olympic games, add 82 more (regular
season), and another 4~28, complete with the year's worth of
emotional build-up / incidents building up.
You'll get a lot more stick swinging, guys taking head shots /
cheap shots at star players, etc.
Also, this happened in a "no fighting" format:
