Head to head: Breaking (down) all the rules
Pelletier: Greetings again old, old friend. This week, I’m going to take you back to your childhood, when the rules dictated you couldn’t throw a forward pass in football. Remember that, man? I don’t. Maybe we won’t go that far back, but the topic is in the ballpark. It’s one that draws the ire of […]
