This is by far the CRAZIEST off season EVER! Great news though! Looks like even if “bounty gate” were true there’s nothing Goodell can do about it!

Thats what I thought.

I really wish we could get SP back!

Well Sean is a "former player" so would he fall under that umbrella?

since he was a 'scab' in 1987, I don't think the union is going to show him much support

only if it was deemed that the alleged offenses occured whilst he was a "former player" or is that before the last CBA aggreement in August 2011.

I honestly do not think so as they are not part of the NFLPA or the CBA.

The coaches have a separate Union and contract.

Actually they don't have a union which is one of the reasons why ML and SP had to just accept their punishments. They don't have a union to fight for their best interests.

From what I read the coaches union is pretty tightly woven with the NFLPA, but think there is a suit overe control.

The NFLCA was using NLFPA office space and believe a suit was made by the NFLPA against the NFLCA. It appears there is also some question about who controls the NFLCA.

NFLPA sues coaches' union in DC court - ESPN

No matter what why didn't we hear anything about the NFLCA during the issues with SP, JV - if they were involved in teh NFLCA. ML wouldn't be covered by NFLPA due to his positioin.
