A bad look is slamming a team for a 'safety issue' then allowing a no-call on a 'safety issue'.. There are a lot of bad looks about this, I dont see filing suit as one of them.

I am tired of my team being the leagues abuse doll.

Hey look, I think those are bad looks too. But cmon man, your telling me those bad calls don't go our way sometimes? Those bad calls work for and against everyone at some point.

So, yeah, Frank D'Amico filing a lawsuit for public gain is a bad look for me. And also, I was brought up to believe that you don't counter a "bad look" with another one. Take the high road and leave that for the bottom feeders.

I agree completely that taking the high road is always the best approach........
except when some one does something as agrigeous as stealing a Super Bowl appearance from you. Then you’re justified in kicking them in the nuts...hard enough so that they never do it to you again. Hard enough so they never think of doing it again, ever. Hard enough so that sexual reassignment surgery crosses their mind.

I get your frustrations. I guess we'll just agree to disagree. I'm so freaking pissed but to me, lashing out only makes it worse.

Let me be clear... I am not asking for damages. I am not asking for anything above and beyond. The leagues bylaws have a clause just for this situation and we are not talking about a holding or off-sides call. This was a defenseless receiver, pass interference, and helmet to helmet...

Forcing Goddell to use the powers granted him is hardly a low road expectation.

I am willing to bet good money they didn't call the penalties just to force the game into overtime so the league could have higher ratings and more exciting games. Well they f5cked up.

I agree with every word of this. When your enemy only ever fights dirty, you fight them at their level. The high road doesn't work under these sort of circumstances.

Um, so, the low road does? Negative.

YET; NFL looking into report of laser use at Tom Brady..........REMEMBER, TAKE THAT HIGH ROAD, A LASER COULD CAUSE HARM, WE WOULDN'T WANT THAT NOW WOULD WE?

I've already signed the petition that's out there, calling for Goodell to use his authority to either go back to the point where the foul occurred, or replay the whole game.

I don't really care if it were the Saints or any other team. What happened is ridiculous. Do I expect Goodell will do anything? Of course not. But you have to put pressure on the league if you want any positives changes to be made, if not now, then in the future.

The only way to make the league do ANYTHING, is to get enough people demanding change, and also making their wallets hurt. Everyone has the right to be angry about what happened, but as far as effectiveness, anger is useless. You have to take tangible steps.

Screw all the talk about being "petty" to make Goodell use a rule that he HAS the power to use. If the rule exists to be able to correct an incredible injustice, not just some bang-bang play, then what better time to use it than now?

If you are someone reading this, right now, and you think it's pointless or petty, let me ask you a simple question: Why? The rule exists for a reason, no? So use it.

vpheughan · 01-22-2019, 05:35 PM

PRECISELY! WHY DOES THE RULE EXIST?

SHINE AS MUCH LIGHT AS YOU POSSIBLE ON THE NFL'S SEEMING APATHY TOWARD THEIR OWN RULES!

THEY THEN TURN AROUND AND LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE USE OF A LASER ON TOM BRADY?

WHY?

BECAUSE IT'S MORE "UNSAFE" THAN HELMET TO HELMET CONTACT OR A FORE ARM TO THE FACE MASK?.

IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK, QUACKS LIKE A DUCK........

SUPER BOWL LIE!!!

It's a waste of time to take the NFL to court over the outcomes of games. It's already been ruled in court that the NFL has no obligation to provide a fair outcome to a contest.
