I guess the NFL is taking the Frank Abagnale approach...

[Mr. Scot]

...by putting Jon Runyan in charge of on-field discipline.

As a player, Runyan was a dirty, cheating sack of s--t. And now he's going to be in charge of handing out discipline for on-field infractions.

Runyan constantly got away with holding (among other things) including once in a particularly contentious Panthers-Eagles game in the mid-2000s. He was holding Julius Peppers on pretty much every play and it never got called. I was ready to blow my stack.

Heck, why not name Rodney Harrison his assistant? While you're at it, but Jeff Fisher and Bill Belichick in charge of the rules committee.

Not quite the same area.

Say he'd been in this position last year; Runyan could have been the guy to decide what to do with Odell Beckham after he speared Josh Norman in the head.

[chknwing]

well it makes sense. he would be the expert on what not to do.

Future rookies will be given seminars on how to stay out of trouble conducted by Lawrence Taylor and Warren Sapp.

Tom Brady will also be giving lectures on the value of good sportsmanship.

Dirty old bastard.

maybe there will be less stupid ass fines

[Squirrel]

Well you wouldn't want someone who didn't know how not to get caught in charge.  

[Mr. Scot]

Shawne Merriman agrees

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Merriman acknowledges he was a dirty player but he pretty much endorses the promotion or w.e you want to call it. Gordell gonna Gordell

Well at least it isn't Bill Romanowski

[Scrumtrilescent]

The two things I'll always remember about Runyan, is his awesome ability to get away with a hold (and laughing about it), and his freaky, patchy, Robin Williams-like tricep hair.  It was hypnotic.

He's being put in charge of steroid testing.
