Bretsky to the rescue?
Bretsky to the rescue?
Have to say though, the next step (the appeal) doesn't pass the sniff test. Goodell has indicated that he will be handling the appeal.
The phrase "judge, jury and executioner" comes to mind.
I know the NFL doesn't much care about transparency, but this is a little much even for them. Troy Vincent may have made the initial decision on the punishment, but we know damn well Goodell had some influence, at the very least the punishment was run by him for final approval before being made official.
Now he decides if it will be changed? smh

Imagine for a moment a world without hypothetical situations...
it also “mysteriously happened to the lions at foxboro in 2006 on two drives with the lions were moving the ball well, also jack del rio said it happened to the jags in 2005 and in 2007 marvin lewis said the same thing happened to the bengals. all at foxboro
add those to the dansby complaint, and you have what really looks like another pattern of "trying to get an extra edge by bending the rules"
man, the whole franchise just looks like a giant bunch of cheats at this point

I live in the Cincy area and know some media guys and ex-players. The incident with the Bengals happened. After that game, Marvin Lewis was sputtering mad and made comments privately that this incident was going to the league office and would not be swept under the rug.
By Tuesday, it was swept under the rug & Lewis refused to discuss it with any of his buddies in the media or anybody.
Teams like the Bengals, Jags (& Cardinals?) don't have the juice to oppose Kraft and his little gang.
Even Jordan had to 'retire' for a year.
"Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - Woodbuck
it more recently came out that maybe stern had told him to take a year off, instead of being suspended for gambling publicly. he did say in his retirement speech, " Five years down the road, if the urge comes back, if the Bulls will have me, if David Stern lets me back in the league, I may come back." he could have been facing a pete rose type situation
however i still think it had to do with his dad getting killed
i can tell you that i was in a room with MJ 2 or 3 weeks before his dad was killed, and he told us flat out with no hesitation, that he had many good years left, and retirement wasn't even something he was thinking about
there was also talk that he completely severed a tendon/ligament in his shooting hand. at his retirement presser, he had a large bandage on his. when asked about it, he said he cut his finger by accident with a faulty cigar cutter. he severed the tendon in his right index finger (the most important finger for shooting)

so for one reason or another, something big changed his mind in a matter of weeks
and if not for that year and a half off, we would have seen what the superfans brought up after the first title. " we're not talking about a repeat, a three peat, or even a 4-peat, we're talking a minimum 8-peat"

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

I keep wishing that this thread was named "Patriot Games"

This is how Florio distinguishes himself, nice digging up of the Commissioner's nearly unlimited judicial power when it comes to issues of the integrity of the game. Predates the CBA where Personal Conduct Policy also granted him the same scope of power.

In college, they often go by the honor system: if one team loses connection with the pressbox, the other team doesn't use its headsets.
I was about to post that as an idea for the Competition Committee, but I figured the Pats' D would just have their feed mysteriously cut out at the end of the fourth and go no-huddle on offense.
"Geez, I don't know what happened. And with Radio Shack closed...."
I believe in God, family, Baylor University, and the Green Bay Packers.
This guy makes Bud Selig seem ready for primetime.

If either of these stories are true I am going to puke.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.
