This case absolutely HAS to be thoroughly investigated by an outside source, not associated with either party, or this will never go away. I still believe we are innocent of a vast majority of these claims, but even if we aren't, a true investigation followed by a public display of whatever findings come about would end the debate.

Yet somehow everything keeps coming back to Roger. I can't think of a bigger waste of time.

The union signed on the dotted line that gave Roger the authority, and noose, to do whatever he choose with. They can take it to court, it'll just be thrown out...

I know they signed off authority to him. That's what I said in my post...

I'm saying he needs to be held accountable for making rulings without just cause. He has authority over the NFL, but the league itself exists inside of our country which has a constitution that is supposed to prevent this kind of circus. Because if the allegations were true, it wouldn't just be against NFL rules, it would be a felony to hurt players intentionally. So these guys should have a right to defend themselves against such claims. This is something that could affect the rest of their lives. This is why I don't understand why this isn't going to federal court.

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