Re: Frank D'Amico files lawsuit against Goodell
In that 1983 Rams game the Saints had a strong accurate kicker named Morten. Conservative Bum elected to punt instead of kicking a long field goal that would have forced the Rams to score a TD to win. Instead he punted. The rest they say is history. Mike Lansford a bare foot kicker if memory serves me correctly "Picked out a drunk fan between the uprights and kicked it through"

Re: Frank D'Amico files lawsuit against Goodell
Winning the lawsuit is not important. Getting any positive results from the lawsuit is not important. What is important is that lawsuits are literally the only language you can speak, that a big corporation like the NFL will actually understand. Our society is so messed up these days, this is how you actually communicate with a large corporation. Through a lawsuit. I'm so glad this guy is suing, because it is allowing people to SPEAK, it is opening up the communication, from voices that otherwise the league would ignore and sweep under the rug and NEVER hear from. I say, let the lawsuit move forward, let it speak its piece, let the courts or the judge decide, let's see where it all goes. This is the only way the NFL will ever understand anything. And in theory the discovery portion of this lawsuit could potentially eventually reveal information to the world, about the NFL that otherwise would be buried and hidden from the light. So I think it's great that no matter what happens, in some fashion the league will be forced to respond to it. But again, this is the only language that a business like the NFL will actually understand.

Re: Frank D'Amico files lawsuit against Goodell
What I don't like is the people who say, 'regardless of the call Saints had early opportunities to capitalize on and they didn't blah blah blah" ANYTHING that happened prior to that non-call DOESN'T MATTER the team shooting itself in the foot has ABSOLUTELY ZERO to do with the NFL missing a game changing call. Correction* Not calling a game changing call, there's a difference

Re: Frank D'Amico files lawsuit against Goodell
Goodell talks about protecting the integrity of the game. Here’s a chance to make it right and earn real respect nationwide.

is like a no. 1 pick in the first round, HUGE bust. Shoulda been cut/fired long ago. Besides no comment/restitution. Al Riveron still employed and ref no. 60 still employed. Also need to inquire why Vinovich, who clearly saw the infraction, did not conference w/ refs involved. Vinovich needs to go also. The officiating in the NFL has been so sh1tty for the last several years, that it has been hard to watch any game that doesn't involve the Saints. I hope he and the league can afford the protection/security he'll nee, the next time he's in the Dome. Hey Roger the Dodger; I ain't watching your sorry ass SB 53; and you can also count my absence to the Pro Bowl, you ruined years ago. |

Re: Frank D'Amico files lawsuit against Goodell
RULE SUMMARY VIEW OFFICIAL RULE
USE OF THE HELMET It is a foul if a player lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent. Note: The tackle box no longer exists once the ball leaves the tackle box. Penalty: Loss of 15 yards. If the foul is by the defense, it is also an automatic first down. The player may be disqualified. The NFL pays meticulous attention to every detail that goes into putting on a professional football game — LEAGUE GOVERNANCE Ensuring a consistent and fair game that is decided on the field, by the players. ALL LIES AS IN SUPER BOWL LIE!! |
