WJMorris3 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Disagree, only because I believe it should be a lifetime ban for one's first offense. You don't need chances to learn your lesson. One strike and out you go. In fact, Merriman wouldn't have even made it into the NFL had I been commish, if only because of his first offense when he was in college.Man, it must be tough being perfect...Nope, just believe that the Olympic policy is a very good one and think the NFL and other leagues ought to adopt it.

Fred T. Jane Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Nope, just believe that the Olympic policy is a very good one and think the NFL and other leagues ought to adopt it.You mean the policy that doesn't ban first-time offenders for life? Just a 2-year ban and stripping of medals? I understand for after all, from the top of Mt. Olympus it's difficult to see the difference... [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

whitedawg22 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Wow, this is sure taking a major step against steroids!(sarcasm)Considering that half the players selected don't play in the Pro Bowl anyways, that the voting is a farce, and that players already have much bigger disincentives against roiding up, this has all the feel of a PR stunt. What do you think a player cares about more: "If I get caught, I'll miss 4 games, and could cost my team a shot at the postseason" or "If I get caught, I'll miss out on having to play an extra game that doesn't matter if I happen to win a popularity contest"? oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

Then it's not just taking away 4 games, but the incentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
