Isn't this effectively how the current NFL drug punishment functions for the third offense? I'm pretty sure all players that receive a 1-year suspension aren't automatically back in afterward, they have to apply for reinstatement.

Having such a transient player base means the union will be incredibly weak compared to the other sports leagues. Its usually the long time vets who are the strongest union reps.
The NFLPA was weak under DeMaurice Smith, they were weak under Upshaw, and they were weak under Garvey.

Hell nah I post all the time. Can't remember when we had a winning record!! :jnc
E: I'm looking forward to Bishop playing. That and Jacob playing majority of the season
It's good that they're instituting stricter punishments for domestic abuse incidents, but isn't it awfully convenient that this letter is sent out or leaked to the public the day after the Gordon suspension when the common refrain was "you lose an entire season for smoking weed, but you only get two games for beating your girlfriend."
I guess Goodell wanted to try to address it while these suspensions were still hot topics.

Got a question of whether or not I should pull the trade. The trade is Zac Stacy, Pierre Garcon, and Mike Evans for Golden Tate, Doug Martin, and Knowshon Moreno

Important to note
Mark Dominik ‏@MarkdominikESPN 6m
The new policy certainly covers domestic violence, but also covers ALL personal conduct: Assaults, battery, weapons, etc it's significant
Also, Greg Hardy may be fucked. But that will probably be a headache for another team to deal with.

Watt, Clowney and Cushing give no fucks. I like your "revamped" o line BTW
I believe you are correct.
Isn't the QB carrying a shit roster a Colts tradition at this point?
Aldon Smith had a good run.
You're right. He would have to address it sometime before the season started.
I think they needed the Gordon case to be answered before this new policy could come out.

Never followed the Jags before, but I was a big fan of Gerhart when he was a Viking. A solid back that was playing behind one of the greatest that will ever play the position. Typical shitty-ass Bill Musgrave never utilized him enough in that offense, but he's a strong back that really progresses through a game with each carry.
I'm anxious to see Toby get a chance to shine as a #1 on a team, so I hope he does well for you guys.

Business as usual.
Why hasn't Rodgers been punished for punching a stomach cancer victim in the stomach for asking for free autograph?
What? This makes no sense.
Who gives a fuck what your reputation is. Sandusky also had a great reputation but he is serving life in prison because there was a lot of evidence that he was a child molester.
These kind of punishments should be based on the evidence. I am not a lawyer but I would imagine that video evidence is probably pretty persuasive in a courtroom and should be similarly persuasive with the NFL.
Greatest play of all time in a Superbowl.

Luck is so good he doesnt need much around him. The Colts will still win that division no problem.
Ah yes, no fantasy talk, but yes let's talk about Champions League in this thread.

Yeah but it's just an extension of the Manning era where they can get into the playoffs no problem but have issues proceeding since the QB can't do it all.

I don't recall Upshaw being as...nonexistent on player issues though. Granted I didn't follow PA issues as closely then.
Luck is great but he will only win the division by default because of how shitty it is.
His team is not good enough to win against good teams consistently. They need more talent. Be interesting to see how good they get if that ever happens.

Oregon's new Hidden Bear defense. Seems the Eagles are also going to be running this during the season. Will be interesting to see how it works out for them, cant get much worse then last year.
I envy Indy. Time and again, we've seen that all you need to do is make it to the playoffs and give yourself a chance. Once you're in the playoffs, whether you're a 14 win team or a 9 win team, all bets are off. I wish Carolina was in a shit sandwich division like the AFC South which basically guarantees us a playoff spot year after year.

That massive Ted Ginn Jr. video game pic. Anybody see that? What was that?
Yeah being in shitty division really is a godsend in the NFL as a fan.
This isn't the court of law or an arbitrator, it's the court of Roger Goodell.

You still have to have talent that plays up to or past their potential to win.
Despite making it there with good records the Colts have not proven that they have that kind of team. It took a herculean effort from Luck to drag the Colts back against the Chiefs last year.
When the Steelers/Colts/Giants/Packers won theirs respective QBs were the finishing touch to their run, not the whole freaking show.
Like I said, you never know what will happen when you get in. Case in point, didn't both the Colts and Giants have one of, if not the worst, regular season run defenses in the league in the years they won the Super Bowl? Then they got into the playoffs and magically they became competent.
That's just Fox being Fox.

Can't say anything about the Colts, but the Giants were sleepwalking that year. They were expected to be much better than they were.
This is my personal opinion, but I don't feel the current Colts have anywhere near the talent those two teams had, particularly on defense.
Upshaw was a complete pushover; not that your criticism of Smith isn't valid. It's just that when players aren't the best financial planners, who couldn't survive a lockout/strike; it really hamstrings the negotiating power of that union.
Jerry Rice's dog has a game, why not Ted Ginn?
You do realize the 2006 Colts were one of the worst defenses in history, right?
http://pick256.wordpress.com/2012/01/31/the-worst-defense-to-ever-win-a-super-bowl-the-2006-colts/
All that to say, if you can get into the playoffs, you've got a decent chance to produce some magic, even with roster holes, given the single game elimination nature of the playoffs.

Giants defense in 2011 didn't become competent, they allowed a little over 14 point per game in the playoffs that season. They became pretty dominant.
They were the 28th ranked defense in the league that year up until that point. Years later I still don't know when/how that switch over happened.
DeaconKnowledge

Right, but i'm talking about more day to day issues here. Granted Tags was never the overlord Goodell is but I remember player disputes at very least being acknowledged by the PA under Upshaw. Conversely the only time I remember Smith exists is when someone mentions him by name in an article or on TV, which isn't often.

That's probably why I said I can't speak for the Colts. Not sure though.
