NFL Week Eleven: My Three Wishes

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:02:57 +0000

1. I wish that the NFL understood Ochocinco I've never been sure what to make of the guy myself, to be honest. For large chunks of the time, he comes across as the biggest idiot alive – the name change, the begging to be traded and so on. On the other hand, he's one of the few players who has really worked out how to use modern technology to his advantage, and this in turn has helped to soften his image – no-one who reads his Twitter feed can be in any doubt about his devotion to his children, his loyalty to his friends or his dedication to his craft. Then there is the fact that, oddly, we seem to have the same sense of humor. An acquaintance I had a rather public row with a few weeks ago has been complaining about the amount of spam she's been receiving lately and I am so tempted to send her a tin of the real thing. Especially now we now about Ochocinco's proposed mustard stunt. And waving a dollar bill at an official carrying out a booth review? Hell, I'd love to ...

Roger Goodell: 'We've had some dialogue' on labor agreement

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:04:59 +0000

DAVIDSON, N.C. — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was a guest of his brother's alma mater, Davidson College, on Monday afternoon, for the dedication of the Vann Center for Ethics. Before giving a talk at the student union, Goodell talked to Sporting News' Vinnie Iyer about the NFL's key issues, including labor negotiations, possible global expansion and growing concerns with on-field head injuries. SN: Has there been any movement toward reaching a new collecting bargaining agreement with the players since the start of this season? Roger Goodell: I wouldn't characterize how I feel about it, except the fact I think it's important. We've had some dialogue with the NFLPA as far as negotiations, and I think we're sitting down and addressing the difficult issues that need to be addressed. There's no sense in putting in artificial deadlines. SN: If there would be just one season without a salary cap, do you have concerns that smaller market teams wouldn't be able to compete? RG: No, ...

The NFL & Commissioner Goodell: Money Grubbing Hypocrites Extraordinaire

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:04:35 +0000

Dearest NFL, Please remove that stick from your ass and quit playing favorites. Love, An NFL Fan playing the role of your conscious. So the NFL is making an example of Bengals WR Chad Ocho Cinco for his misguided "bribe" of an NFL official during a replay. Fine, I get that (even if it was kind of funny in a getting-out-of-a-speeding-ticket-via-donuts sort of way.) I understand the fine on Falcons head coach Mike Smith as well since a coach needs to be the coolest head in the room/sideline. Although I find it commendable that he stood up for his players, but that doesn't make it right. The fines on Bears QB Jay Cutler and DT Tommie Harris are probably well deserved if a bit puzzling. Cutler was fined $10,000 for "verbally abusing" an official while Harris was fined $7,500 for punching a defenseless player in the face. That's like expelling a kid from a school for calling his teacher a doody head but giving another kid detention for stabbing his peer with a pencil. And that ...
