This NFL crap hardly qualifies as "sports," much less "news."

Goodell is a light weight also. He knew about this stuff for at least three seasons, apparently. We game watchers have known about the late hits ( think Harrison, Steelers) for longer than that. Fines are OK for a first warning but suspensions and bans should be strkes two and three. I just don’t remember these cheap shots after the whistle during Roselle’s or Tagliabue’s times. I never laced anyone unless they cheapshotted me first——even then I kept it between the refs and between the whistles.
Agreed - To try to hurt players is criminal.
Boy oh boy!
RINO spawn Goodell F’d the Saints in the A and gave them Hepatitis!
I wonder if the Saints will think about just canning Payton.
No GM, no HC, no DC. No DC for the Rams either.
Firing makes sense, but who’s going to fire and hire? The owner?
This makes Spygate really look like a slap on the wrist.
I’m curious at what punishments the players get?
“People can blabber about how football is a rough game, but games should be won by superior play and not by trying to injure opposing key players>”
I agree with you 100 percent.Don’t get me wrong, I know football is a rough game and I love that about it. But the football I started watching about 40 years ago involved a lot more tackling than what I see today. Now all they seem to be able to do is go for the big hit. It is becoming more thuggish every year.
I hope they dole out some harsh penalties for the players involved as well.
