Re: OT: Goodell caught with hands in cookie jar
Because you don't have a valid counter.
The NFL this week cleared the Redskins,and I think Bills(wherever Gregg Williams used to coach) from having a bounty system. This is simply not believable. From so many places in the league former players have come foward and said the bounty system has been in place forever.
No one has said that the bounty system has been in place for years. You are ding what Saints fans attempt to do, comparing apples (bounties) with oranges (player run pay for performance programs). And while a handful of players have stated to the media that Williams did the same thing in Washington and Buffalo, others have denied it and absent corroboration what would you have the league do? Not to mention, those teams weren't ordered to stop it and continued in defiance.
What happened to the Saints is akin to driving with the flow of traffic on the Mass Pike with 31 other cars at 85mph, the black and gold car with the fleur de lis got pulled over for doing 20 over the speed limit. I don't know, maybe the statie's wife decorated the new bathroom in back and gold and he hates it, but it was the Saints who got pulled over.
No it's not but even if it was that's the same thing that happens every day. Just because you get away with something, or someone else did, doesn't make it right or absolve you and no one ever guaranteed you life would be fair.
The CBA is written on the same brand of toilet paper that non guaranteed contracts are. The one's who control the money own the casino, litigate all you wan't and it will be tied up in court for decades. A CBA however doesn't preclude the law of the land, how a court chooses to interpret written laws varies unfortunatly.
What a load of crap. Contracts like CBA's are perfectly valid whether the terms favor one side or the other. Those terms are something they collectively bargain for, and the law is pretty clear that if they do it indeed can preclude the so-called law of the land (which if there is such a thing many here seem to misinterpret anyway).
As far as Godell is concerned about the head injuries, I'm going to have to agree to disagree.
