The intent was just as dirty, yes. Execution, no. In baseball, I think you're suspended longer if you bean a guy intentionally than if the batter ducks and the umps determined it was an intentional attempted beaning, don't they? I think it's the same concept here with execution. They could be like the NBA where coming off the bench is an automatic suspension even if you're just playing peacemaker but I think that's unfair if you're trying to prevent a bloodbath like LeBron started the other night, lol.

Yes, the league officials are biased.

Yes, many ex-players in positions of authority still hate the Cowboys.

However, knowing this, the simplest and best way to never dealing with this reality is don't do anything that gives them the power to enforce punishments on a Cowboy s player.

I don't care about what the league did to players for other teams, what Hill did was selfish and inconsiderate to his teammates who desperately needed him for the upcoming games. Defensive tackle is a weakness for the Cowboys only because of the series of injuries to those in the squad with the most potential to contribute and Hill was one of them. After fighting back from injury to join the team seemingly at the best time, he takes himself out of two games.

We have seen that NFL football is a game of inches, literally. One play by one person can win or lose a game. Hill has talent. He was one of the leading tacklers in the Thanksgiving game. Add in Lawrence for next week and the defense has just improved dramatically. But change that, at least for the time being, because Hill decided to throw away his participation in the next two game. We had another potential playmaker ejected during the game. Right or wrong, Kelvin Joseph was not there for the rest of the game.

The injuries and the protocols have been robbing the Cowboys of talent during the games all season long. Now we have to add in stupidity in the form of game suspensions from La'el and now Hill? Ridiculous. Hill is one of the last Garrett era drafts and this is what "the right kind of player" had been reduced to?

I wonder what it is in your life to give you such passion to defend the League at all times.
You're kind of the only guy who does this on the board.

I get trying to defend against hypocrisy and untruths and all that, but you definitely have a theme to your crusade.

Well when your chest to chest with another man yelling at each other....the first punch thrown is just the first punch thrown.. what Toni did sneaking around then waiting tell the other guy is into it with someone else..thats a sucker punch.

Yea pretty much. its no different than any other potential situation for punishment in any other setting (school, sports, job, etc). Don't take unnecessary risks, or else something bad might happen. I don't randomly punch people outside because while i could get away with it, i could also get arrested. The suspension is over the top, but it's not rocket science on what to tell him going forward.

I don't disagree with that entirely. What would happen then would be more and more baiting of big name players to get them out of commission. And then you'd need to police that and its degrees.

Not really, Im sorry "did you throw a punch" its 2 games...GM's could be very clear ...if you throw a punch while in uniform on gameday on the field..its 2 games. Seems pretty simple.

I've said it before but it's not pro-league or pro-refs or anything else. It's anti-whining. People claim bias in this case (and almost every other) so I presented a case just last year where the NFL suspended a guy for the same 2 games plus ejected him from his game for this degree of foul. And there are clearly degrees. There was a thread that basically cheered this behavior by Hill but now want to cry victim when the punishment comes down that's been laid down before? That's garbage.
