We have a running joke in my office.

I've known both of my law partners for 30+ years and we've managed to remain pretty much best friends through 25 and 15 years of being partners. Early on one of them told the story of his high school girlfriend who came from a very conservative Christian family (this was the mid-80s). Her dad was a prototypical southern smug, self-righteous pontificating twat (I am southern, so I can say these things). My friend tells of one day when he went to his girlfriend's to pick her up for something. It was the day after Len Bias had died. My friend is a big sports fan, and so naturally as he's talking to the dad, he asks, 'did you hear about Len Bias?'

The dad responds "I sure did. Well, that's what you get for doing snatch!"

That line, which I laugh at every time the story is recounted, has become the go-to response to any public comeuppance. It was the first thing I thought when I learned about Brendan Sorsby's NFL troubles.
