They may be ******ed but they are not unenforceable, certainly not as unenforceable as the marijuana laws.Bingo, bango, bongo.
The IR rules, as currently constituted, are ******ed and unenforceable, just like the hysterical anti-marijuana laws.
Yes, GREAT points! I agree with you on this.Why in the world can't the league adopt Disabled List rules like MLB and, to a lesser extent, the NHL and NBA? A 3-tiered system of 3 weeks, 8 weeks and season-ending is much more reasonable than what we have now. Now, a player can suffer a knee injury on Opening Day and, although a 10-week rehab can have him ready after Thanksgiving, be forced to sit the entire season. This helps neither the team nor the NFL, because its best players are not all on the field, and on television. A product that is less attractive than what it should be may begin to attract fewer viewers, and fewer sponsors.
But the problem, besides it being against the rules, is that it wouldn't just be "low-round/UDFA". Teams would abuse it and players who, if not placed on IR, would be released and could catch on with another team. I like your practice squad idea, but remember, those on it are virtually free agents, that's how the Chargers lost Welker. Your ideas above make more sense, imo.If I were HC, I would use IR'ed players who are physically able to practice exactly the way that the NEP are accused of using them. And if someone's moral sensitivity is offended by their stashing of low-round/UDFA rookies on IR? Then expand the effin Practice Squad to an even dozen.
Please identify "real cheating" by the above mentioned, that they have been caught doing, that has gone unpunished. Specifically the "Dolts". Please.When the league does something - anything - about Real cheating, as practiced by NaPolian, by the Dolts and Titans, and by the career-threatening teachings of Alex Gibbs, then wake me up.
