Interesting article from 2000 (Bounty related)

This is an article relating to violations regarding side deals made by the 49ers back in 2000. I've quoted the part I thought you'd all find particularly interesting...

It also permits commissioner Paul Tagliabue to suspend for up to one year any club executive found to have entered into an undisclosed agreement or payment, and increases from $2 million to $3.5 million the amount clubs can be fined for entering into undisclosed payments or agreements.

Brent Jones' contract is among those that led to the 49ers' penalties for violating the salary cap.

The commissioner also may take two first-round draft choices from teams violating the Collective Bargaining Agreement with side deals.

The CBA also permits the commissioner to fine individual club personnel up to $250,000 each for their roles in any undisclosed agreements. Players and agents may be fined the same amount by the CBA Special Master.

Millions in fines and no first rounders for the next three years would be absolutely hysterical.

Goodell's big thing is player safety, but that part is a judgement call that could probably be appealled. But if it is verified that these side deals took place, there seems to be not much of a gray area. Kind of black and white. According to this, the organization could be fined millions, and individual players and agents could get upwards of $250K each, depending on involvement.

Now the only thing is if this same verbiage went into the new CBA. Even if it didn't though, violations happened time-wise under the old CBA, so I don't know how that would work.

      You might want to re-read that. They're specifically saying they DON'T use stats. They arbitrarily judge each play and then extrapolate that into a grade.

      You're correct (on its face). But PFF does indeed use advanced stats to come up with their grades. Not trying to turn this into a debate about PFF (at all because it's been done ad nauseum), but here is how PFF explains it:   GRADES VS. STATS We aren’t grading players based on the yardage they rack up or the stats they collect. Statistics can be indicative of performance but don’t tell the whole story and can often lie badly. Quarterbacks can throw the ball straight to defenders but if the ball is dropped, you won't see it on the stat sheet. Conversely, they can dump the ball off on a sequence of screen passes and end up with a gaudy looking stat line if those skill position players do enough work after the catch. PFF grades the play, not its result, so the quarterback that throws the ball to defenders will be downgraded whether the defender catches the ball to notch the interception on the stat sheet or not. No amount of broken tackles and yards after the catch from a bubble screen will earn a quarterback a better grade, even though his passing stats may be getting padded. The same is true for most positions. Statistics can be misleading. A tackle whose quarterback gets the ball out of his hands quicker than anybody else may not give up many sacks, but he can still be beaten often and earn a poor grade. Receivers that are targeted relentlessly could post big-time numbers but may offer little more than the product of a volume-based aerial attack. https://www.pff.com/grades So PFF uses stats to come up with player grades and rankings.
