Peyton and Eli fan

You officially have your wish.... PS - I'm 40.

Thank you! I was trying to click the other person's name.

Please don't start a topic for discussion and then yell at people when they, you know, discuss it.

i've seen people mention an ignore feature for certain posters, but I can't find it. Could someone tell me how to use it if it does exist? Thanks.

YOU are out of line. I have said right along that they can't complain too much because they gave Goodell all of the power. I think that was a mistake on the NFLPA's part. I don't know why you think it's ok to pick a fight with me.

You are replying to someone who is not me. My only point is that I haven't decided whether I think Vilma deserves a 1 year suspension based on what I know.

He had a very busy year a few years ago - all of his kids seem to be 3 years old.

yes, but it's hard when the cast of characters changes on you like with your sister in law. Wouldn't it be nice to all be self-employed. Anyway, I think the union needs to concern itself with fairness as well as health and safety issues. It's a basic responsibility of a union. however, in this case the union is in a tricky spot because they represent both the accused and the victims. Very tight rope to walk. Maybe it's good that Vilma is going outside the process and getting his own representation - takes the fight away from NFL vs. NFLPA which I'm sure we've all had enough of.

I dont' get HBO either and have only seen clips, but I hear it's always very good.

My union doesn't prevent me from being laid off for economic reasons. It helps protect me from unfair termination or being replaced by my new boss' nephew or something.

Seems like TE isn't a need there though. Albert Breer‏@AlbertBreer RT @shalisemyoung another former Colt was in Foxborough - via league source, TE Dallas Clark visited Tuesday

Adam Schefter‏@AdamSchefter S Yeremiah Bell to the Jets 1 year deal $1.4mil, including a $200,000 sign bonus.

He signed with the Jets

What I hear all of the players say is that if you play the game cleanly and someone gets hurt, that's just a part of the game. If you purposely try to injure someone, that's where the line is crossed. If hard, clean hits are rewarded that's different than being rewarded because someone got carted off. Now, if he's guilty of paying specifically for cart offs or for injuries, then I agree with the punishment. I'm just keeping my mind open to the possibility that he didn't pay for injuries or pay more for injuries.

I agree that the players should have met with Goodell and they should have not signed off on the discipline part of the CBA. That's why I'm not going to go on a rant about their rights or anything. I'm just not convinced that Vilma is "more guilty" than anyone else and deserves the harshest sentence shy of Greg Williams. I hear all of the players saying there's a difference between hurting other players and injuring other players. A 1 year suspension needs to clearly come down on the side of paying for injury.
