gee there are no favorites as regards the League office.....

so here many claim

 

[Staubacher]

Blatant cheating by the Packers.

The NFL won't do anything about their Golden Boy.

 

[slick325]

Wonder if our Cowboys are among the teams since that Detriot game the last game of the season could hold great significance should Dallas win today.

What GB did made sense for their future but it does have a stench to it.

"The NFL referred all inquiries about the situation to the Packers, who have declined comment."

I have the utmost confidence this situation will be fully vetted and result in a just outcome! /s

 

[DallasDomination]

Release him and bring him to dallas.. sorry Dak lol.

 

[jazzcat22]

GB is a protected commodity by the NFL, they can get away with murder, when Dallas is hung from the gallows for just being accused.

Yeah what the hell is the deal with that?

I guess we sit and wait for the Packers' ruling on it.

Yes. They are in charge of their discipline and sources say they are leaning towards leniency.

 

[hornitosmonster]

No team has the guts to hold the NFL and Packers to the rules. I don't know why you guys bother to watch football outside the Cowboys

 

[Pants]

he was "sore"???

translated, he sprained his va-gi-gi

pansy....and yes, this is a violation of the league rules...but, even if they were forced to cut him, he would sign with GB the next day unless there is a rule against that which they can then circumvent

 

[Zekeats]

Hey, a rule is a rule. Just like the catch rule. Doesn't make any sense and nobody likes it but hey, it's the rule. Release him now. Goodell stinks.

 

[CCBoy]

Let's just see if Jerry is afraid of being over looked by Santa, if he does anything to enforce the rules...and I wonder where this leaves the concussion protocol, now?

 

[pugilist]

protect the shield Roger, do your job. integrity of the league and all that..

nothing will happen, but how hilarious would that be if scumbag Aaron Rodgers got released and the Browns snatched him up

 

[Ring6]

If I were a packers fan, I'd be pissed he's not playing since he's healthy enough to play. Especially if I had tickets to the game for my family.

 

[HeavyBarrel]

If the rule was truly broken (I haven’t looked that much into it) an example would be made of practically any other team but since it’s the lil’ darling Packers, won’t happen.......

 

[Nightman]

Such a non-story....they rushed him back from his injury and then shelved him again once they were out of it

If forced to release him he will just sign back with the Packers...... they won't lose him or suffer on the cap

Talk about salary cap hell....paying for two contracts.....

 

[visionary]

They should be docked their 1st round pick this year

 

[Biggems]

I hope Jerry does lead the charge. It isn't like we will rue that decision on the field, since GB and Rodgers seem to have our number, a lot thanks to the officiating.

I would love for the NFL to enforce not only this rule, but also start calling consistent holding calls on their OL. But, neither will happen, so I guess we should just turn the page and move along with our lives.
