And by the way, Olney linked to the Span Pants story today. It would appear no other player and no other team has been warned.

The nation applauds.

Kind of like how he fined Gardy for delay of game last year, when the Twins play nearly the fastest game in the league. It makes MLB look stupid.</p> It is funny that ol’ Selig chose Denard Span, of all people, to single out.

So they have to throw a suit on while traveling, small price to pay since every single NBA player is overpaid in my mind. But at least in basketball the rules apply to everyone from LeBron and D-Wade all the way to whoever is playing for the Timberwolves these days. Span can't be too happy about the special treatment bestowed upon the elite players in the game.</p> I generally don’t care how players dress, the NBA suit thing was kind of dumb, but who cares?
