ESPN and The Mexican

This is weird. A buddy of mine pointed out a very odd "rule" in a long set of rules in a sports game hosted by ESPN.com. The game seems fairly simply, keep alive the longest streak of winning predictions on particular games (i.e. which team will win) or propositions (i.e. will the first points be a TD or a field goal). How to play the game here. But when he looked at the official rules, (you know that boilerplate stuff about how employees and family members of ESPN are ineligible, blah, blah, blah), he ran across Rule 14.4: What's up with that?
