SI's "Scorecard" notes the behavior of K.C. Star
columnist Jason Whitlock at a rainy Foxboro Stadium during
the Chiefs-Patriots game October 11. After being verbally
heckled by Pats fans during the rout, Whitlock "held up two
hand-written signs to bait the fans" which read, "IT'S WARM
IN HERE -- GOOD LOOKING WOMEN, TOO" and "BLEDSOE GAY? PATS
SUCK." The signs were confiscated by Foxboro security, but
SI notes that as of Monday, no action had been taken against
Whitlock by the NFL or the Pro Football Writers Association.
Whitlock's column ran on October 12, but has not run since.

"condone this type of behavior" and that there "would be
consequences" (SI, 10/26 issue)....New Line TV's "The CBA:
