Implications of the Rice Decision

[Semaj]

Well I can agree with Saints fans on at least one thing. That being that Goodall is a pill. Why they haven't fired him is beyond me or maybe not. He's pretty handy for the owners being that he is attached to strings just like Pinnochio was. Come to think of it, his nose has seemed to grow.

Sign him up!

Add that to some of the other unpopular stuff (18 game season, games in London, etc) and you've got lots of fuel on the fire.

This is the reason you wish and pray so hard to see Goodell ousted. This is why you've started multiple threads hoping this would finally be the end of Goodell. For this right here. Because he's "changing" your precious version of what you think football should be. It's pretty obvious from the other ten threads you've made about Goodell this season that this has been the reason all along but you never out right say it. You have been using this rice thing as means to and end hoping Goodell gets fired for trying to save the image of the league.

Regardless that he's been biggest disciplinarian commish the league has ever had or that he's basically put the league on a course to not implode due to legal trials on player safety but that he made it harder for defensive players and he wants to expand the season by two games.

I get that you're old and you've only known the game one way for so long but you have to admit your little act against Goodell is rather childish don't you think?

Why is Goodell the bad guy. I actually feel bad for the guy due to the fact every time he put the hammer down, he get shut down. This league is getting out of control, you can do anything and not really get punished. I stated on this board before, if anyone in the REAL WORLD done anything, they would get fired, it would not be questioned. Sad just sad. People are to concerned about a football and not about these men lives. Thats why a lot of them fail, kill themselves and become destructive after they are finished playing. 

 

WTF? Literally less than 0.1% of the players in the league do more than smoke weed or get caught driving drunk once.

Lord almighty you have no clue what you're talking about

I start threads about topics I enjoy discussing. General NFL News happens to be one of them.

I realize your thing is to try and antagonize people (pretty childish way to have fun, but whatever). Not very effective in this case given that youre so far off the mark it gave me a chuckle . Regardless, my thing is to actually have interesting, intelligent conversations. Discussions with you don't really produce that.

So feel free to continue ranting if you wish. I'm not really interested.

Goodell to me deserves to be fired simply because of the position he is in.  He acts like judge, jury, and executioner, so why is it that he gets to blatantly lie to the public? to the players?  He should be fair, and impartial....and this incident compromises all of that, and considering how important "protecting the shield" is should there not be any reprecussion for his failure to protect it?  It just seems like players actions are underneath a microscope.

You're not the only one to feel that way.

 

In the wake of this year's scandals (that won't seem to go away despite the NFL's best efforts) loads of players took to social media to say that if they were brought to the Commissioner's office now, they'd call him out on the hypocrisy of his actions.

 

And naturally, if the players are thinking it, you know the NFLPA has it in mind.

Hardy is probably happy to be sitting on his ass collecting the check. I doubt he wants to give up any $. He really screwed this team good with his bullcrap antics. This decision doesn't effect him in the least. He is done at this point in the Carolinas.

[smash_n_dash]

Wonder if Major League Baseball can get some benefit out of all this.

Maybe a marketing slogan like "Hey we're not so bad. Our guys only take steroids."

"We hit home runs, not people"

[ThPantherFan]

Not really.

 

Even if he tried to come back now it'd likely just be a repeat of the Adrian Peterson story.

 

(but there's no real indication that he's trying all that hard)

Why should he try harder?  13 million will carry you for a few years.  Not taking into account all the past money he's gotten.

If the money's all that matters to him, yeah.

 

That said, I wonder if he realizes how much money he's probably cost himself with his shenanigans.  He was in lone for a big payday (probably not from us, but somewhere) that likely would have dwarfed what he got this year.  Now, who knows?

[Montsta]

Greg Hardy is my favorite player and he got railroaded BIGTIME. However, if him getting screwed led to Goodell getting fired, well there would be some peace of mind for me with that.

[Mr. Scot]

"We hit home runs, not people"

 

Pretty good, but I'd change 'people' to 'women'

You've made multiple threads hoping Goodell would be fired for this then when practically begging for the old Marshal story to get traction when you for sure thought it would be the end of him. Just like I told you it wouldn't be.

Yeah the old wanna be Espn football news aggregator is a apt description of you. Sz James was on the money with that one

And if you think me calling you out on your limp crusade against Goodell cause he's taking your football way and using the rice "scandal" as your means then call it what you will but you're pretty fragile minded if you think I'm antagonizing you.
