The Brewers and Bob Uecker prevailed in a defamation lawsuit brought by a plaintiff who argued that alleged defamatory statements made by Uecker fell within the statue of limitations due to their continued wide availability on the internet.

In ruling, the court adopted the “single-publication rule” that says people can sue for defamation only over an original publication but not each time something is republished.  “We reject the notion that each ‘hit’ or viewing of the information should be considered a new publication that retriggers the statute of limitations,”  In other words, the statute of limitations starts running when an article is published or a statement is made and not each time they are reprinted or read.

The NFL says rules are rules

With the change in timing of the Pro Bowl this year (that is before the Super Bowl and not after it), three Indianapolis Colts players are at least expected to be at the Pro Bowl game in Miami. Colts owner Jim Irsay says the team will comply with league rules, even if it means the three players will have to make a roundtrip flight to Miami on Sunday.
