Remember, the Players and the Union backed him up on this. And also remember this is a BILLION dollar business here, and a lot of people get real rich from it. The Commish, the Owners, the Union and it's Players are going to do everything in their power to keep it that way, period.

You're quoting a team that cut a man before test results came back? A man cut without even being charged??? I wouldn't call that ammo. BTW, I've used that "roll on" line. I've said we would roll on, just as the Pats would roll on without Moss. Using a man's quotes against him is poor form. |

Remember, Coach Lovie Smith did the same thing Coach Payton did when he became the Bears coach. Smith got rid of the guys that didn't fit his "high character type guys" also, so please stop giving reasons and excuses for the way this guy is, he's not 12 ylds, he's a grown a@# man who need to get his mind right. Just not in a Saints uniform.

Yo Nem, for future references, I'm an adult and I respect any and all posters and expect the same in return, so if you thought it was something pertaining to you, I'm here to say it wasn't.

And just like yours, my questions are pointless. I'm just saying Roger is hypocritical and out of control just a bit here. The only reason the "players" that make up the player's union are behind it is because they don't want Roger up their own buttholes with q-tip and a magnifying glass or else they'd get suspended for not agreeing with Goodell. Now listen to me when I say that I am finished with the checking of the bags conversation! And yes, I have signed a contract stating I'm another's property, and every move I make is made public and directly reflects my employer. Didn't think I did, did you? |

And by the way, the Players that the Union represent just happens to be all the players in the league. This is not MLB, the Commish is not looking for anything, he's just dealing with it as it comes. If the Commish was "out for blood" and so evil, he wouldn't have allowed Tank (The) Johnson to play in the Superbowl, you are a lil off basis with this one. One more thing, whoever property you are, It's nothing like the NFL, period.

The Bears' own site seems to concur that Tank was an above average DT. Perhaps he wasn't ready to be quided by those mentioned "good guys". I say if he isn't now, then that's that.
We took a chance on a rookie coach that was once stripped of his OC duties in NY. We brought in a QB recovering from major surgery to his throwing arm. Brees has been benched on a few occasions. Failure and being humbled. builds character. Please save your "But they didn't commit a crime." rebuttles. We can take a cheap chance on Tank. |

You're also proving my point of inflammatory attitudes by referring to Tank with that smiley. He hasn't shot at or threatened anyone. |
