NFL hires experts to look for gang signs by players

[Leave No Doubt]

Goodell with the gang sign patrol.

Seriously, this guy is the worst commissioner I've ever seen in a major sport, even worse than Selig.

He needs to be fired and replaced with any sane person.

His actions are getting more and more extreme everyday. I understand his desire to crack down on criminal activity but how is he going to accomplish this, and more to the point how are these gang experts going to conduct their investigations without invading privacy and all other kinds of issues like that. I guess they'll have to patrol the locker rooms to check out any and all tatoos too.

You're sure that doesn't have anything to do with the death of CD's in general?

Yes. Rap finally is fading after 23 years.

Yes. Rap finally is fading after 23 years.

Lil Wayne's latest album had the highest Billboard 200 debut number in over 3 years selling over a million copies and he is without a doubt the (unfortunately) hottest entity in music right now.

As far as this story goes, I have no problem with it at all. Who cares if it's a silly job? It can only do good.

i dont think much will be done or implied here. imo this is just a PR move to make it look like the nfl is trying to clean things up. if they are so interesetd in that, why not ban ray lewis and lenonard little?

I have gotten an exclusive copy of the video Goodell sent to every team of "Gang" signs that will not be allowed anymore. Watch at your own risk:

And lets not forget there is a reason to stop gang signals because gang violence is serious. Just refresh your memory, here is one of the most famous examples of (Our) Gang violence.

The commissioner is on the job again.....

 

[PATRIOT64]

So I guess the next two teams that enter the league in a few years down the road can't have one new team called the Bloods and the other called the crips? - Damn!

Prediction: Arlen Specter will call for a congressional investigation on the alleged theft of gang signs by BB.

The "Red" one in the SB tipped Goodell off...

lil wayne having the highest billboard debut number says it all, hip hop is dying, and us rap fans are getting desperate

on the matter at hand, this is the most stupidest thing i have ever heard, honestly, goddell might start cracking down on the amount of tackles per game, as people might try to replicate tackles at school
Soon we will have adverts like

"THIS WAS BOUGHT TO YOU BY NFL. PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME"

If anything..it's morphing into other things..but time will tell..THAT happens a lot with all types of music..

Rap is not music per se, it's syncopated poetry with a very narrowly defined urban cultural focus. Why white kids and folks from other countries latched onto it always has been beyond me. Seeing/hearing people "rap" in Russian and French is ludicrous. But, it looks promising that hip-hop (and its associated culture) has gotten old and tired with those who have perpetuated it. Reggae, pop, soul, and r & b seem to be rushing in to fill the void. Michael Vick won't recognize the world when he gets out of prison.

If they are going to videotape these signals they'd better be damn sure they do it from a location that has three walls and a roof over their head and are not taking videotape from any location accessbile by any team personnell nor planning on using the tape during the day of the game.

Other than that, filming signs is completely legal.

I saw this in the headlines on yahoo. Godell should be fired hes an Embarrassment.

 

[gomezcat]

This is pathetic. The NFL is becoming some hyper-paranoid control freak thing under his "management". I think he forgets that he is the Commissioner for a very violent sport, played by many people who come from less than squeaky clean backgrounds.

What I'd do as NFL players is adopt Brit 'colors' and then talk in secret criquet lingo. NOBODY here in the Colonies would have a clue.
