NFL DRAFT to move to PRIMETIME!!!

WhoDat205 · 05-04-2007, 01:19 PM

A wise man once said, "you can't drink all day if you don't start first thing in the morning." I like the draft on Saturday. It's a good excuse to start drinking at 10am and besides, the first round is like 6 hours long.

Roger Goodell might need to cool it a little. The NFL was fine under Tags, and by "fine" I mean "the most sucessful sports league on the planet". His disciplinary system where he is judge and jury is ridiculous, The notion of holding the Superbowl outside of the US is absolutely retarded and this is just another example of him tinkering with things that are fine the way they are.

Oops...I just got suspended for three games.

I agree, I hate his disciplinary system the players want play hard because of it, playing in other countries doesn't make sense with the NFL being popular here. He will mess everything up.

disciplinary system I am all for it. Prevent the ones that come in and think you are a player in the NFL and you can get away with anything you want should not work! Some of the players seem to be using the money and fame to get away with things in the court systems but at least someone is going to make them accountable for there actions. I am all for giving someone a chance but if you blow it BYE BYE!

Euphoria, you are right that the NFL needs a means by which to punish poor conduct, but it's not okay to have the same person (Goodell) bring the charges, hear the charges, mete out the punishments and hear the appeals. There will be a backlash from the players, and the players are the ones that fill the seats.

There needs to be a check and balance system. Maybe the players' and/or owners' can form a tribunal or somthing of the sort that can hear the appeals or hand out fines and suspensions.

Well I guess that is because I don't think the players are doing anything wrong. All someone has to do, is say a player did something and that is it. There is another reason that they are being picked on. I wonder why the NBA and NFL are dissed , but the NHL and MLB are not.

Military is the same way (NJP), you don't have to have evidence all you have to do is be accused and the Commanding Officer just has to feel or believe you did it.

I don't think anything has changed... the commissionor was always able to suspend a player for whatever. They can challenge it through a review board. The only real difference is the punishment is harsher now days.

i enjoy the draft on Saturday and i also think that playing the super bowl outside the u.s. is stupid and would make me think about not being a fan anymore. just my feelings. now as far as his approach to the idiots that run around getting into trouble that has been a long time coming. i think he is right on with that. just because you can afford a good attorney and keep from being found guilty doesn't mean you aren't. if i had half the issues that some of these cats have, and ones as serious as they do, and my face was flashed on tv and the media kept saying the name of the company i worked for, they would fire me in a heart beat. so he has every right to go after these guys and sit them for the season. guilty or not guilty you represent who employees you and in the end it is always the nfl. so if you are constantly bringing negative attention to that employer they have every right to suspend or fire you. just like baseball did to rose.

The draft is too long. I don't really know if moving one round to friday would help. Just shorten the time and cram it in tighter an we'll be fine.

Moving the Superbowl outside the US? Never heard about that one before. Living in Europe I'm all for regular season games here (although it'll be cheaper for me to fly to NO to watch one), but the superbowl? That should stay put, for now.
