We learned that if you take them with you to Jupiter to investigate a magnetic anomaly, they WILL kill you. And, that the "chads" from punch cards make great confetti.
What y'all may not know is that there are already various rules for TV and radio reporters about what they can and can't do at an event for which they don't have broadcast rights.
The rules the NCAA is putting on bloggers are not that different from the rules they put on radio reporters calling their station's weekend sports talk show, ESPN radio, FSN radio, etc. Or on TV reporters for live cut-ins from the evening new, etc.
From the NCAA standpoint, they may feel they need to reign in bloggers so that the radio guys don't think they can stay on the phone from the press box the entire game back with some competing radio or audio streaming outlet doing live or nearly-live play-by-play commentary.
There is a loophole that the newspaper wants to run through: while the live, detailed description of what is happening can be restricted, the reporting of facts (like the score) can't be. For example, there are radio stringers at these events (working for ESPN radio or the Associated Press radio, etc) that call in to various weekend sports shows on FSN Radio, ESPN Radio, etc. between innings and tell the score and a quick recap. These are allowed because they are just reporting some facts and one guy's impression. In the end, the blogging question will come down to something similar: I should be able to blog, from the pressbox, some short amount of factual information (Louisville 6, Ole MIss 4, bottom of the seventh) along with some short recap (3-run homer by Smith tied it up in the top of the inning), some kind of breaking news (Jones trips rounding third, is taken off on stretcher for x-rays) or my opinion of how things are going (not looking good for the home team). To blog play-by-play goes too far. I'm guessing that a compromise will be reached which allows blogging from the press box the same information that a radio stringer can call in from the same press box.

Lucky husband: Great. Oh, I mortgaged my "half" of the house so I can run for President, so I'll be in and out over the next few months.

...several miles north and west so that the view from the McDonald's is effectively blocked now. I'm sure the Gwinnett County police department is much happier.
The indoor practice field made a cameo appearance in ESPN's "Beg, Borrow, and Deal" as one team kicked a 35-yard field goal there with Falcons kicker Jay Feely as the holder.

Great film. Laugh out loud funny in several places.
