Did you sign a contract that exclusively says that you are the property of your employer as long as you are employed by said employer? Do you get paid MILLIONS of dollars to do something you did and dreamed of ever sense you were a kid? If the answer is yes, than Roger Goodall can do it to you to. 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.
Have you ever done 5 mph over the speed limit? Have you ever once drank an alcoholic beverage? Have you ever driven a day with an expired inspection sticker? Have you ever driven without a seatbelt? Have you ever changed lanes without your blinker? Have you ever accidentally passed a redlight? Have you ever had sex out of wedlock? Have you ever spoken in class without raising your hand? Have you ever driven through a parking lot to avoid traffic?

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?

Man what are you talking about? The Commish and the Union fight and disagree with 98% of everything. This is one of the few things they agree upon because it threatens their livelihood and nobody wants that, and last time I checked Goodall didn't go looking for anything it was dropped in his lap when he took over the position. 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.
