bengaled Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 [quote name='Jeb' post='478425' date='Apr 28 2007, 10:29 PM']My claim is that the commissioner won't punish the Pats and even if Meriweather breaks the law, ...it won't happen. We are a different story though. He would punish us.[/quote] that gets to the heart of my point. and isn't it ironic that kraft and herm edwards, two of the supposed most outspoken defenders of goodell's new policy, were two of the first organizations to grab up players with questionable backgrounds. i wonder how long we have to stay on probation? how many drafts will we be handicapped before we can select the players the rest of the league can select?

-GoBengals- Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 [quote name='BATTLECAT' post='478409' date='Apr 28 2007, 10:15 PM']I think that holding teams accountable for what a GROWN-ASS MAN does off the field is a load of BULLSH%T!!! That's like the BULLSH%T law (depending on where your from) that a parent is held liable (potential jail time) for what their children are doing while they're at work, and the kids are supposed to be at school and such! These clubs aren't their freakin parents. Go after the player for goodness sakes. [/quote] if your kids a fuckup peice of shit, thats your fault, you should be punished, perhaps some motivation to make your children NOT be complete fuckups. jailtime is only for repeat offenders, if your kid keeps getting in trouble over and over and you do nothing to prevent it. like if they stole your boos, got caught, then two weeks later they steal your boos again, and then again, and you never lock them up or prevent them from getting them, etc...

[quote name='bengaled' post='478544' date='Apr 29 2007, 12:41 AM']by following thru with his direct threat of taking away draft picks and imposing fines on the teams.[/quote] never ever was that a threat. that was some jibberish about what might go down in the future why would he take draft picks from us if a player gets in no trouble in the nfl. your delusional at best.

-GoBengals- Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 [quote]While he was meting out penalties, Goodell also announced the league's new, tougher personal conduct policy that will allow longer fines and suspensions for players and [b]also could[/b] penalize teams, [b]perhaps by[/b] taking away draft picks.[/quote] nothing like going to war with "could" and "perhaps by" the media is the king of taking a half sentence and creating a page full of fiction based on it. goodall tossed out serious suspensions and threw out heavy harsh words, he doesnt own the nfl, the owners and nflpa would ahve to approve such an insane stretch of punishment. and im doubting the owners are voting to take their picks away and i doubt the NFLPA is voting to allow less players to get drafted at higher pay levels, etc. goodall will never get away with fucking the two entities he answers to in the ass without courtesy vasaline.

Eventually they'll come around and see how this hurts us but it'll likely be a year from now when marvin once again skips the misfits because we're still getting pounded by the media. This is day 2. This is exactly when we would be taking a misfit player with talent. Lets see who we get off the boyscout list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OzBengal Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 I am fairly certain that Marcus Thomas will be a character bust, similar to our own character busts. No chance we take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
