NFL policy may be changing a tad...

First....great win and feels good.Bring on the Lions for win #2. Check out the new TMZ sports video of Rice cold cocking his now "wife" on the elevator camera.She hit him first,then he throws a haymaker to the head. Tried to link it but could not get it to work.Posted this on the football central site,but also brought it here since it relates indirectly to a Panther player..The NFL says that it will take all cases on an indivual basis and dole out punishment as they see fit, so they may be backtracking on the mandatory 6 games..Once this goes viral the NFL will have to give Rice 6 games.Hardy may only get the 2 since his case is he said/she said even if convicted by the jury.Hope we cold cock the Ravens like that P.O.S did to that woman...hit first or not.

Further proof that Goodell is a fuging idiot.  Obviously the video was going to get out eventually.  How can you justify a two game suspension when there is ocular proof of an NFL player spitting on his woman and then hitting her with a left?  Of course Goodell had to backtrack after that. Rice should have been hammered.

If Goodell were to retroactively increase the length of Rice's punishment, after already dealing it out, everyone would come after him. Rice's lawyer, his agent, the Ravens and the NFLPA. I recently heard the Executive Director of the NFLPA do a radio interview, and when discussing the Rice case, he sounded exactly like the piece of poo lawyer everyone would expect him to be. Goodell would have a total poo storm on his hands.

 

In other words, it would take brass balls to make the decision and say, "Not only did I get it wrong, but when confronted with this evidence, I have no choice but do the right thing, do what society demands, and extend the term of the punishment." Everyone is expecting Goodell to cover his ass and leave it the way it is. Now is the time to prove he won't be held hostage by the NFLPA and lawyers, and he is in fact the law and order commissioner he claims to be. Let's see.

    • I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.
    • overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.     
    • Im really curious to see how the defense is going to look once its playing with some leads.
