Implications of the Rice Decision

[Lumps]

Why is Goodell the bad guy. I actually feel bad for the guy due to the fact every time he put the hammer down, he get shut down. This league is getting out of control, you can do anything and not really get punished. I stated on this board before, if anyone in the REAL WORLD done anything, they would get fired, it would not be questioned. Sad just sad. People are to concerned about a football and not about these men lives. Thats why a lot of them fail, kill themselves and become destructive after they are finished playing.

The NFL is a business, they're not responsible for these men's lives other than physical health because that is directly related to their jobs.

The players are not exempt from responsibility, accountability and consequences from their personal choices and actions just like everyone else in the real world. The NFL should not have to babysit them.

Goodell to me deserves to be fired simply because of the position he is in. He acts like judge, jury, and executioner, so why is it that he gets to blatantly lie to the public? to the players? He should be fair, and impartial....and this incident compromises all of that, and considering how important "protecting the shield" is should there not be any reprecussion for his failure to protect it? It just seems like players actions are underneath a microscope.

So the fact after this situation he has stated his going to relinquish some of his disciplinary power to further avoid situations like this means what to you?

[CBDellinger]

with this ruling .. Goodell should be removed immediately ... This proves that he knew what happened that night

They will wait till mid offseason and he wil retire.

Firing him now would admit guilt.

Lord almighty you have no clue what you're talking about

I start threads about topics I enjoy discussing. General NFL News happens to be one of them.

I realize your thing is to try and antagonize people (pretty childish way to have fun, but whatever). Not very effective in this case given that youre so far off the mark it gave me a chuckle . Regardless, my thing is to actually have interesting, intelligent conversations. Discussions with you don't really produce that.

So feel free to continue ranting if you wish. I'm not really interested.

 

I lol'd. Well this simply cannot be. The CarolinaCoolin we know would never resort to such behavior.

 

He's a big teddy bear, don't let him fool you.

Oh, of course.

I could see that.

 

Post draft, perhaps?  People will be busy talking about their team's picks.

 

 

[CarolinaCoolin]

Scot can you tell me more about the reports you talked about from the unnamed source Goodell would be stepping down quietly after this year? Or did you make that up in hopes it came to fruition?

[Mr. Scot]

"Hey I'm just looking for interesting intelligent conversation. Now let me just completely try to avoid your argument and not back anything up

Emoticon emoticon B)"

You've made multiple threads hoping Goodell would be fired for this then when practically begging for the old Marshal story to get traction when you for sure thought it would be the end of him. Just like I told you it wouldn't be.

Yeah the old wanna be Espn football news aggregator is a apt description of you. Sz James was on the money with that one

And if you think me calling you out on your limp crusade against Goodell cause he's taking your football way and using the rice "scandal" as your means then call it what you will but you're pretty fragile minded if you think I'm antagonizing you.

 

I'm not really sure how you'd go about conducting a 'crusade; but as for me I wouldn't do one by posting on a Panthers message board

 

It's called 'discussion" chief.  You should try it sometime (maybe after you grow up a little)

When I grow up to your age will I be as well versed in emoticon language and deflecting like you?! By golly I hope so!!

Just the fact that you haven't really told me why I'm so off the mark but using your emoticons must mean I hit a nerve. Carry on scot. But I'd respect you more if you just admitted that you've had it out against Goodell for along time instead of using this rice scandal on a commish you don't agree with.

You severely overestimate your importance

 

I'm not sure you could hit a nerve with a machine gun.

 

[CarolinaCoolin]

We both know you have way to big of an ego and sense of self importance to not feel slighted when anyone calls you out. Which is why you revert to emotes and trying to deflect as hard as possible.

Aaaaah again, how llttle you know

 

See, for me to be bugged by someone having a negative opinion of me, they have to be someone I respect and whose opinion I value.

 

You don't qualify, chief.

It's not really a negative opinion. I'm just asking you to be honest with yourself. Something you clearly can't do.

Right

 

Keep trying.  It's good for a chuckle, at least.

a fair question since nobody actually asked you. Are you against an 18 game season ? Or games in London ? I am in favor of both because I hate long boring offseason waiting and the idea of extra football to me is wonderful and I would love to hear a counter argument I'm really not interested in fighting but I am asking you since the other fellow believes you are against it
