and what will be roys defense? roy, the best thing to do is STOP doing it.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Why appeal? Isnt that a waste of time?

 

[Everlastingxxx]

Roy ”Sir, i was going for his legs but my hand got stuck in his collar and i slipped and pulled him backwards, scouts honor”.

 

[NewJCowboy]

Why not appeal!? The worse thing that could happen is that they uphold the suspension.

 

[Big Dakota]

Good luck on that one Roy.

 

[Kilyin]

"I didn't know I couldn't do that."

 

[Derinyar]

Point to other people who have been hit with multiple personal fouls this year and haven't been suspended. I suspect there are a few that fit that bill.

his defense will be, the nfl isnt tough, I didnt mean it, the pantywaste lawyers are ruining the league and the price of cheese is falling oh and it is a bad rule so he doesnt need to follow bad rules.

at least that is what I have been told.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Maybe he can get the suspension reduced to half a game.

They kinda have to since the game is Saturday.

Frankly, it is very good of the league to move so quickly on this.

What is the deal with that? How many suspensions have NOT been upheld?
Roy and his horsecollar is blatant.

That was good. I cant stop laughing...:laugh1:
Talk about halftime adjustments....

they have to because Dallas will be on the field practicing this after noon and tomorrow for sure. Next week is christmas eve and christmas, it has to be dealt with asap.

I would rather him be out against carolina than washington, we need him to stop the running game of the skins.

I'm sure the suspension will be upheld, but Travis Henry and a few others had theirs reversed on appeal. So you never know...

It's worth a shot!

 

[Everlastingxxx]

Norm said the hearing will be tommorrow. Roy will practice today.

 

[AmishCowboy]

He also said that it would be better for Roy to miss the Carolina game then the Commander one.

I'd say the other way around.....


I don't want to see Roy trying to cover Cooley....The Panther TE's are not too tough

Roy CAN practice today -- but there is no point in him doing so.
