On the Mark: Goodell Changing the Rules

[Bob Sacamano]

speaking of car salesmen, I saw the newest Eastern Motors commercial, it's that father in the Friday movies w/ Ice Cube, lip-synching the song

Sheesh, burmafrd, why don't you lighten up a little man? You don't know these guys and they don't know us, so why be so critical...afterall, we are all Cowboy fans in the end! Painting with a large brush all the time will tend to get YOU full of paint of you don't watch out...

Being civil goes along way...even towards things that you don't like.

Agreed, but I am not too upset by anything burm says.

I know at some point in this thread, car salesmen were mentioned.

Well, I can't post the link here - but - if you were to go onto the youtubes, and search for "<expletive> you Baltimore" and then watch the video, I'm pretty sure you'd laugh.

If you can piss 6 feet, straight up and not get wet....

LOL. Awesome.

Vick is casting a negative image on the integrity of the game, the league and it's players by being indicted for a very serious crime

you can't refute it, you just can't, no matter how many ******** examples you throw out there

learn how to read a contract, then get back to me

I find it funny that non-lawyers tell lawyers how to read a contract. (Assuming you're not a lawyer.) LOL!

At any rate, I'm having this conversation on another board. And it seems apparent that some are missing the issue.

No one is saying that the commissioner can't suspend players for violating the conduct policy.

What they're saying is that an allegation does not constitute a violation.

Indisputable facts do and an allegation is not an indisputable fact.

The cases of Chris Henry and PacMan Jones had indisputable facts/evidence. Henry had a documented record of him driving under the influence, pleading guilty to marijuana possession and speeding. Those are indisputable facts.

Jones has admitted he was at a club where a violent crime took place. He also has multiple infractions with the law. And he "admits" to making "bad choices" throughout his career.

But Vick has not admitted this.

And what's so funny about this entire argument is that Goodell even acknowledged that he's out to find "indisputable facts" that Vick violated the league's code of conduct. Absent those "indisputable facts" he said he would let the case be resolved in court.

Goodell is no dummy. The reason he didn't immediately suspend Vick, IMO, is that he knows he has to have sufficient grounds to withstand a legal challenge.

IMO, if he finds that Vick was at the house he bought when dog fighting occurred, then that would be indisputable evidence of improper conduct and he will be suspended.

If not, no matter how offended fans are, you're not going to see Vick suspended unless Blank just outright releases him.

Some people used to believe in witches as well, peppy.

And for years some people believed the world was round before it was accepted as fact.

Did you mean to say "flat"...?

That sentence just does not make sense to me!

Re-read it. If he meant "flat," he would have said "most people."

don't feel bad- lawyers are taught how to confuse people and mess them up and make them doubt themselves. Just another wonderful trait they have.
