I'm over it!
Loomis is handling this offseason pretty damn well so far. And even if Parcells doesn't coach this year, I think Carmichael/Spags/Kromar can handle the duties until week 7 when we get Vitt back... |

I'm over it. It sucks but we'll be fine. Typical sensationalist journalism. I blame it on the ESPTMZ culture of sports news.

Well, appealing is actually a smart decision. It's not about trying to lessen suspensions or anything like that, it's about delaying them so that Payton can still do work for a few more weeks. He'll still be suspended for the season, but at least he can get a little more work done.

I don't think that any of the penalties will be reduced; I see it as forcing Goodell to explain himself just a little bit more.
Kind of like the NFLPA; "you have evidence, then show it" |

There's a flaw in his justice system. |
