The notion that the LJS had some kind of ethical resopnsibility to 
"self-sensor" themselves on this story is absurd.  This is a game we're 
talking about...not a millitary secret.

Somebody on another forum said that Steve Sipple put his "career ahead 
of the team", as if journalists are somehow part of the football 
program.  There's exactly one person you can blame for that quote, and 
it should go without saying who that would be.
