WASHINGTON – Congress plans to conduct a hearing next month on two professional football players whose suspensions were blocked by a federal appeals court.
Two people with knowledge of the plans tell The Associated Press that the a House subcommittee will delve into the issue. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because lawmakers have yet to announce the hearing.
I’ll bet Bawney Fwank is at the bottom of this...
I’m glad that Congress is looking into the Vikings. Stop the Danegeld! Get our dignity back!
Now this?
What the hell did we elect this president for if he can’t even handle legal problems with misbehaved players in the NFL!!!??????
(do I need to explain this is hardcore cynicism?)
They could be reading the Obammys socialist health care bill instead. But no....that would be racist.
Gotta be a cheesehead behind this! Finegold?
They could be looking into ACORN...nah.
If you pay the Danegeld, you’ll never get rid of the Dane.
If I was president of a company and had entire divisions of the company that wasted company time and resources on stupid stuff the likes of this panty waste stink pot namby pamby piddle fry, I would fire the bunch and sell it off at pennies on the dollar.
But, alas, its our government and our money. So it must be no waste at all.
Speaking of Danegeld, I think I’m entitled to rep-par-ray-SHUNS!
Don’t worry, these grandstanders will be gone in another 13 months.
Tick...tick...tick
Will this be before or after ‘looking into’ Rep. Charlie Rangel little troubles?
I thought Favre was from Mississippi.............................
It’s a quote from Kipling.
The time it takes for these lunatics are concentrating on things that do not matter is time that they do not have to further destroy our country.
Besides, it only convinces more and more people that our congress is populated by ignoramuses.
I absolutely hope that investigating the Vikings consume all the congress's time for a year or more...(about 13 months to be exact).
I know............;^)
This is getting stupid.
Have you seen these guys? Pat & Kevin Williams are not the types to take steroids. But they are the type to take drugs to lose weight. Pat was held out of preseason games a couple years ago until he lost 30 pounds.
The offending ingredient that was included in Starcaps was not on the ingredient list.
If Congress wants to question the Williams’ I think they will get straight answers. I believe these guys truly are being wronged by the NFL and are justly protecting themselves.
In this instance, I feel for the players, it has gotten to the point where if you can’t read tiny label print, you may be suspended... not to mention the ingredient in question was not a banned substance at that time nor had players been advised to watch out for it anyway.
How about you look into why Black Panthers are allowed to intimidate voters! Or maybe how come IG’s are fired illegally by Hussein! Or would that be a bad idea—you know, RAAAAACIST!
