Not reading a Minnesota newspaper, I have no idea if this has been written about before, but I doubt it.<BR/><BR/>They agreed to the rules, they broke the rules, so accept the punishment. <BR/><BR/>Bring this up at the next collective bargaining and play right into the hands of the league. Can't do anything about it now though.<BR/><BR/>The NFLPA is short-sighted and stubborn and will surely have more screwups at the next meeting too.<BR/><BR/>-SKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-91751832829356110832008-12-03T20:11:00.000-06:002008-12-03T20:11:00.000-06:00Actually, I've criticized Goodell as far back as M...Actually, I've criticized Goodell as far back as May 2007, and I have suggested the union should address the disciplinary policy at the next collective bargaining negotiations. Furthermore, I frequently side with the interests of workers/unions in conflicts with management/ownership. <BR/><BR/>I am many things, probably including a hypocrite and a whiner. In this case, I'm not sure I'm either.<BR/><BR/>Here are some URLs of earlier posts when I've written critically of Goodell. Not all of them involve situations with Vikings (though some do--it is the subject I write about most here, after all).<BR/><BR/>http://pacifistviking.blogspot.com/2007/05/blizzard.html<BR/><BR/>http://pacifistviking.blogspot.com/2008/10/blizzard-around-league.html<BR/><BR/>http://pacifistviking.blogspot.com/2007/07/viking-optimism-good-guys-and-more.html<BR/><BR/>http://pacifistviking.blogspot.com/2008/08/tyrant-king.html<BR/><BR/>http://pacifistviking.blogspot.com/2008/05/blizzard-of-links.htmlPacifist Vikinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630996018868040440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-468959828106978702008-12-03T17:12:00.000-06:002008-12-03T17:12:00.000-06:00Where has this anger at the NFLPA been all these p...Where has this anger at the NFLPA been all these past years?<BR/><BR/>Dont you think its a little hypocritical to start whining now?<BR/><BR/>There is a supplement list, take a supplement off the list, its not hard to do.<BR/><BR/>-SKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-77281424863578351282008-12-03T08:46:00.000-06:002008-12-03T08:46:00.000-06:00Taking a drug that is poorly labeled and getting i...Taking a drug that is poorly labeled and getting in trouble for it is nuts. I even read where the NFL knew of this drug and did not tell teams/players. "What you put in your body is your responsibility". I hope the legal system has to step in. To me, that would be embarassing for the league. I agree the NFL commissioner is all powerful and needs to be slowed down. He seems to do what he wants and nobody can say it is wrong. EX:<BR/>Great that the NFL like big hits and even does videos on it. Then fines players for big hits!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
