Troy Vincent makes me want to vomit

http://www.freep.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2015/02/05/ndamukong-suh-free-agent/22919615/

The two talked a few days before the Pro Bowl last month and plan to meet in New York later this off-season. And even though he suspended Suh for twice stepping on Aaron Rodgers' leg in the Lions' Week 17 loss to the Green Bay Packers, Vincent defended the all-pro defensive tackle and said that the incident was not a case of Suh reverting to his old ways.

Says Vincent of Suh:

"But he's done a phenomenal job. Just based off of where he's come from and the adjustment that we've asked him to make without turning off the motor. He's done a tremendous job, coaching staff has done a tremendous job of adjusting."

the suspension gets rescinded for not only a repeat offender, but an endless offender........if I was Brady, I would play the race card

INTEGRITY OF THE GAME BABY!!!!!!!

Bold. NFL's at least $8m deep in deflated football probe and has dragged debilitated ex-players thru lawsuit hell.

The lawsuit with the ex-players were for the benefit of the ex-players. If the NFL just gave in and gave the players what they wanted, they wouldn't have earned it. By earning the money in a court case, they have a sense of accomplishment. The NFL cares.

Actually, no. The Peter Principle states that you get promoted until you reach your level of incompetence. Vincent reached his when he stopped being a defensive back.

Hey Vincent, plenty of QBs have admitted it including Jeff Blake who was a back up with the Eagles the year they made the SB and lost. But Vincent wasn't good enough to still be on the team that year.




P.S. Not to mention he was a member of the Dolphins for the last few years of Shula. You know the head coach currently being sued by his players for forcing them to take hardcore narcotics in order to keep injured players on the field. #Integrity.

If those athletes are hurting so bad, how about eating into the nearly $50M worth of money that's going to the most useless commissioner in professional sports coupled with the payment for that sham of a report that's going to get tossed in federal court?

This!

It is hard to get more hypocritical than the NFL league office. That Vincent even went there was a clear act of desperation.

I love this part:

"Somebody has to protect the integrity of the game," Vincent said. "That's my responsibility, to protect and preserve the competitive fairness of professional football. That's why our game is so great, because we protect the integrity of the game."

Why does no one have balls???????? Why didn't whoever was interviewing him ask him about them wasting $5 million on the Well's report???? Seriously how can he say this with a straight face, knowing how much money they wasted on a useless report???? So frustrated with idiots like him!

The NFL owns the media who run their games. None of the networks, and I'm including ESPN as a network, has the balls to tell the truth about the NFL. They have controlled the narrative from day one and bury anything that contradicts it. The story that came out yesterday literally indicted Exponent so ESPN runs with Vincent crying about the injustice of the NFLPA defending Brady and the strawman of league integrity. The only answer is for those who care about the truth to keep chipping away at the lies, deceit, and frame job.

Ashley Fox is a fmr Philly Inquirer columnist and is now at BSPN. Troy Vincent used to play for Philly.

There you go.

3 pages dedicated to this corrupt human being? He is not worth the bytes all these posts are consuming in the server.

Goodell wants this to go to court. He just wants it to go to the right court with a judge who is weary of getting involved in an arbitration case under a collective bargaining agreement. Brady doesn't have a slam dunk case and if a judge throws out the case, Goodell wins in more way than one. This is his best case scenario in this case.

I don't think so. For a defamation case, Brady has to show the claim was false and malicious -- that they knew the claims were false. Leaking (and not correcting) false PSI? Hiring Exponent -- a firm with a reputation for returning what the client asks for? True. Brady may not win, but even if the NFL wins, it loses.

That would seem to be enough to get it to discovery. Think the NFL wants to have to answer questions on how this whole investigation originated? What Wells was asked to do for them? Wants all those emails between Kensil and others inside the NFL office made public?

I don't think so. I think it's to the point a head has to roll for this one. I'm starting to think it's Vincent. That rant was incoherent. Now, he's lashing out at the NFLPA?

Lot of hypocritical talk from a guy that legally didn't have any standing to hand out Brady's punishment.

You consider the infinite number of ways to respond to something like this: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/13171906/nfl-vp-troy-vincent-criticizes-nflpa-spending-legal-action-challenging-roger-goodell-authority?ex_cid=ESPNNFLTW&sf10458108=1… & simple is best: "small."

Maybe if the League didn't spend $5 million to manufacture evidence against one their players when they can't find any real evidence, the NFLPA would have to spend far less money on legal fees.

Fixed it for ya Rob.

I don't. EVERYTHING has gone against him since the afc champ game. The wells report was a joke, Goodell refused to let someone else hear the appeal and next Goodell won't vacate the suspension. The only way anything good happens is if Brady wins in court. Just like after spygate the only thing that will make this not sting so bad is another SB win and hopefully soon.

Well... not EVERYTHING.

I think we should start a facebook page on "the real troy vincent." Bullet all the deeds "lacking integrity," with links. Then link to this pile of hypocrisy. What a dbag. The nfl front office has the nerve to play the poor player card with the concussion mess? Give me break.

I hope more people from nfl like vincent come out and blurt nonsense and maybe in the process out something they shouldnt to break this thing .

Even without considering the frame job at play, this is ridiculous: someone from the NFL front office is basically criticizing the NFLPA, for spending X amount of dollars in defense of their players, whom the NFL spent >X dollars to investigate and discipline.

This is essentially the same as if you were taken to court by a big company, who had extremely high-priced lawyers, and when you went and got your own team of high-priced lawyers to defend yourself, that big company went to the press and said "hey this guy is spending way too much on legal fees, what's his problem? Doesn't he have kids to feed?"

NYFL front office has their panties in a mega wad over the prospects of going to court with this event that clearly did not even happen. I wish them the very worst. They've earned it.
