There's no rule saying that you have to put someone with an injured shoulder on the injury report. Try again.

In New England that is true, the rule books do not apply there. Got it.

I guess in NE that mindset is par for the course but it doesn't mean it's right.

No that is not what I said. I was backing up Robo's point that it is silly to take away draft picks to enforce a rule that is only their to help Vegas set the line. It in no way, shape or form helps the team or the league protect their players or win games.

Nobody really cares about the injury reports unless they are:

a. Fantasy football player/ gambler
b. A Belichick hater that wants to quibble over every silly little minor detail to try to show what an evil person he is.

Nobody cared about the injury report until BB started to win superbowls.

Opposing coaches certainly care, don't be so naive.

It's why Belichick and others do what they do. Hiding injuries is just another form of strategic game planning, it just happens to be illegal.

What is on the injury report is completely based on how much practice you attend.

I could have a sucking chest wound, and show up to practice and participate in all the drills, and I won't be on the injury report. Maroney showed up to all practices that week, and was not held out of drills, hence, not on the injury report.

And I'm sure Belichick was honest when claiming Maroney participated in all the drills.

I have a bridge for sale if you're interested.

So I take it you couldn't find the rule that they broke? That's because they didn't break any. If you disagree, then just point out the rule that they broke; this is really simple stuff.

I expect stupidity from anyone lame enough to go onto another team's board to try to incite something, but you're going to have to try harder than that if you want anyone to care.

Pure speculation. If that's the best that you have, then I can make an equally credible claim that the Jets violate the injury report 53 times per week :P

I'm the one being naive?

How does that help coaches when they also have to disclose their own injured players? It cancels out. Guess how you can easily level the playing field and make sure there is full compliance with the rules? Don't have an injury report. Problem solved.

It's a really big bridge, really it is.
