BP Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The Jets arranged for the league not to impose any penalties on Edwards? Wow, that's awesome! The Jets can take their own actions if they didnt have balls like raisins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The Jets can take their own actions if they didnt have balls like raisins. It has nothing to do with the wrinkles on their balls, there's a system in place and they're adhering to it. To criticize them for not breaking those rules and instead administering their own Draconian punishment is assinine. This is the norm in the NFL, not the exception. This is the way things are done by every team in the league. It's laughable to me the way critics are using this to take some morally superior position.

If you can make a player inactive for being late to a meeting. it sounds assinine to me that you cant do it for drinking and driving on a week when hes getting paid. not many people know this, but these jackasses only get paid 16 times a year (if they dont make the playoffs of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The media is just dying for this team to fail, it's a bigger story now that we have national spotlight. I can imagine them having already mentally written thier finger waging life lesson about arrogance and class in sports. Are you kidding me? Of course they have. Guys like Myers have notebooks full of hyperbole that they were stockpiling all summer. To tell you the truth I'm really hoping for some sort of bizarre sex scandal, because if memory serves correctly Lupica was so unintentionally funny during the Marv Albert fiasco.

Apples and carburetors. The rules are in place specifically so that even punishments for such offenses are handed out across the league. It's a good policy.

Bugg Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Jerry Seinfeld said rooting for a sports team is basically rooting for laundry. This is a reminder. On this very board, someone is extolling Ray Lewis, a man who was locked up for covering up a double homicide. And then when it came to trial he turned rat on hsi former friends. Brett Favre is fond of sending digital pictures of his dick to women who are not his wife.Best I can tell, the media and ad men treats both like Mother Theresa. I rooted for the Jets even when Eric Barton was here. Eric Barton while at U.Md. decided that at a rap concert his seats were inadequate given his exalted status. So his solution was to treat my doctor's son's face like a speed bag to get a better seat. And since he was a football player he was basically given a slap on the wrist despite breaking a much smaller guy's jaw for nothing. I had occasion to see the early 1990s NY Rangers in a bar. They were a bunch of spoiled obnoxious a-holes. My dad had a similar experience with the mid-1970s Yankees in a Vegas casino. Neither of us stopped being fans of those teams, but were both again made aware that these are still people with good and bad traits like anyone else. And being great athletes has little to do with it. If you think you are rooting for a sports team requires that they all be good guys, you might want to get a grip on reality. Sometimes we are lucky enough to root for genuinely nice people-Revis, Curtis Martin, Chad Pennington, et al. But being great at football or any sport is not the same thing as being a great person. If you are expecting everyone you root for to be a good person you are going to be dissappointed. Everyone thought Kirby Puckett and Steve McNair were great guys, but truth was otherwise.

SenorGato Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 No it doesn't. They're put in a tough spot because this, for some stupid reason that I will never understand, is a significant news story for the Media and it's minions. This is the lamest story ever.
