I don't understand your point. They only wanted to spend about $2.5m. There weren't a lot of options at those lower prices, so instead of getting a more expensive guy they took a chance on Pettite. Younger, more effective pitchers who were available would cost a lot more than they wanted to spend. -
No mention of the fact he's already worshipped as a God in Tennessee? I began to type something about how he'd never eclipse Elway in Denver but would be worshipped in TEN, but then got bored and stopped typing.

no it wasnt I thought I read somewhere on the day the trade was made that it was the Panthers pick and I've been under that assumption since then. I read multiple people say "were sure which one" but assumed it was that one.

I'm arguing against your insistence on pretending Roger can't or won't suspend without a conviction, let alone an arrest. He absolutely can, has, and will. This specific case doesn't seem to lend itself to a suspension, based on what we know, but if more facts emerge he could easily do it (if marshall somehow incited the brawl, if Marshall's bodyguard or friend did the punching, etc). There is no need for conviction for Roger Goodell to suspend a player. Most people have said that's kind of crazy, but it's just a fact.

not from ben
-
biggs tweeted that it was the Panthers #3 that they traded and their own next year. Not sure if that was ever clarified before.
-
my point is that, regardless of what the letter to Roethlisberger said, it would have been pointless to appeal the suspension in court because Goodell had him providing alcohol to minors. this is a case of Goodell using the fact that Ben was caught in a conundrum to beat his chest in power. Considering he wasn't charged or convicted of that crime then I'm not sure how Goodell "had him" in any more substantial way than how he's had anybody else who has been suspended.

oooooo, a football question. about tight ends
-
Yeah, as I said, it was part of what they latched onto, but clearly there is no need for a conviction, or any finding that he was the person who provided the booze. If Roger finds that Marshall's actions led to a woman being hit in the eye, even if he didn't do it, he could suspend him given the widespread personal conduct policy available to him. From what we've heard it doesn't seem likely, but the point is there is no need for a conviction for Goodel to suspend somebody.

one more question: and they still can't get past the freaking mental talk
-
-
is that david haugh still going on this topic? move on already you hacks.
-
Don't kid yourself. He was suspended because there were accusations of rape. That may have been what they latched onto in the end, but it was the rape talk that led to the suspension.
-
lots of mental health talk going on, very little football. That's nice, I guess.
-
marshall going overboard in romanticizing his time in Miami
-
this reminds me of that awkward Peppers, Taylor, Manumaleuna press conference. A franchise defensive end, plus a backup RB and garbage tight end. Now it's a franchise WR and a backup QB being lumped together.

make 'em find their own way home kick them off the band force them to eat lunch in the same hall as non-whites
-
I feel like he rarely actually reports anything. He just sort of apologizes for the team's weaknesses and explains away their inability to address them. Bears are having a press conference for Marshall and Campbell at 11am central.
-
Miami is now out on Manning and it's probably down to Tennessee or Denver. Given his history of dome games and primarily southern opponents, I have to think Manning would prefer the Titans.
-
I don't know why you would make that assumption. All four of them could easily see their prospect status drop fairly significantly this year. Vitters probably needs to take a step forward just to tread water By retaining status. I meant they will all still BE prospects, unlike Brett or Rizzo, who probably lose their eligibility. In each case, it is possible for them to take a step forward, but my guess is only Szczur and McNutt are in our top 10 next year. However, that doesn't mean Lake or Vitters don't help upgrade the overall grading of the system. They add depth at worst, ay best they both still have high ceilings. That's a very confusing statement. If all you mean by "retaining status" is that they will still be prospects then it doesn't make much sense to say or they can improve on it. They can all take steps back this year. Still qualifying as a prospect is fairly meaningless.

Mullin is the worst, he's basically a Bears mouthpiece who should be working for the team's website.

yes, but he's walking a thin line if no wrongdoing whatsoever can be proven. courts have blocked his suspensions before. Sure it's a thin line, but he hasn't hesitated to walk it. In the specific case of Marshall it would seem to be difficult to have a suspension without something like an arrest being made or a settlement being reached with the woman who says she got hit.
