I'm tired of the union just pointing out the statute of limitations. These ARE violations by the NFL under these laws, and they should be dragged to court over it. But this point has been brought up so many times for so many different things. It's more than just a violation of this law, it is also blind justice. There is no hard evidence to prove that our players ever tried to hurt anyone. There is only the common knowledge that already existed before bountygate, that every team has some kind of money pool, including the Saints. They just threw the word "bounty" at us and starting talking about, but never showing us, supposed documents that supposedly prove our guilt.

But every time the NFLPA brings up the statute of limitations, it makes it look like we're guilty and trying to find a loop hole to get away with it. Again, I agree that the NFLPA should bring all these facts and laws up in court, the law should be enforced. But I just hope that they'll force the NFL to prove their allegations as well. Because I don't think Goodell can do that, and I want our name CLEARED.

Maybe a dumb question, but since the union filed grievances, is that in lieu of appeals? I thought the players only had 3 days to appeal

No, it is not. And they have until the end of the business day today to file their appeals.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
