Do not -- I repeat, do not -- fuck with my fantasy football!

The online branch of CBS, CBS Interactive, has sued the NFL Players Association because the greedy NFLPA has itself threatened to sue CBS. Why? Because CBS doesn't pay the Players Association a licensing fee for using football players' stats for fantasy football. So CBS has jumped the gun on the NFLPA by asking a court to kindly tell the Players Association to play a game of hide and go fuck yourself.

Of course, the Players Association's position is ludicrous, as the 8th Circuit found earlier this year in a similar case involving baseball. But it's still a threat to my precious, precious fantasy football, and it will not stand. So even though I hate CBS for foisting "Two and a Half Men" on an unsuspecting world, I've firmly got their back on this one.
