“[Y]our union conveyed to the league that due process for players is not a luxury, it’s a right,” Smith told the executive committee and player representatives.  “While the league currently has great concern for its brand, fairness and justice for our members is more important.  For us, the starting point for these discussions must be the desire to agree upon a fair personal conduct policy and domestic violence rules from a standpoint of prevention and education.  We will not accept a world where all players are viewed as perpetrators first and husbands, fathers, sons and brothers second.”

It’s an important point, because the NFL’s current seat-of-the-pants approach to accusations against players has resulted in two of them (Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy) being presumed guilty, not innocent.  Ultimately, a fair and consistent process is needed to determine when players will be allowed to play in the face of accusation, and when they won’t be.

No agreements were made or decisions reached on Tuesday.  The two sides have agreed to meet again, soon.

Im at the gym on mobile and just saw on espn that the nfl and nflpa are meeting today about the personal conduct policy. Anyone know how this affects greg hardy moving forward or anymore info for that matter?

Actually we all just got done with the conference call with the League, you should request to be added to the distro so as to not miss any future meetings/conference calls.

NFLPA said they are standing up for due process of their players and that is more important than the league saving face on media/public pressure. Could effect hardy but nothing solid came from the talks today. They will most likely meet again in November.

 

Thank you, I have updated OP.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
