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.

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. i'm not disputing that. they could always get him on tax evasion, but if there are no ancillary issues, then there's no way to suspend him.
-
yes, but he's walking a thin line if no wrongdoing whatsoever can be proven. courts have blocked his suspensions before. Have you been paying attention? Big Ben wasn't even charged and he got 4 games. i guess you haven't been reading the string here, ben was essentially suspended for providing alcohol to minors.

the only coach i can remember ever leaving for a job within the same conference is tubby smith. if we get him first, there's no way he leaves for wisconsin. it's not nearly as good of a job as illinois, anyway.

if only you could translate that skill to real life.

that's shaky ground though. it's got to be tough to suspend a player and dock their pay if there is nothing there to go on. they were able to get ben because of the alcohol provided to minors thing. unless marshall was doing the same thing, or unless they can get him on something else, depriving him of pay for no other reason than the commissioner's hunch or for appearances sake, he'd have a very good law suit against the league. he could likely file some sort of injunction which would allow him to play and get paid until the matter is reviewed in court. I'd be shocked if the standard NFL contract language isn't broad/vague enough to allow them to suspend someone without a conviction. I know you're a law-talking guy, but i would question the validity of any contract that would include the waiver of basic labor rights. I mean, the contract could also say that Goodell reserves the right to murder Marshall, too. The NFL is not above the law, although I think Goodell would try his best.

they can't suspend him without a conviction. look at big ben, never been suspended. That might be a bad example since Ben was suspended for the first four games of the year in 2010 (of course you may have been joking and I completely missed it). i wasn't joking, i totally forgot about that. i thought he wasn't suspended. well, i guess they CAN suspend him without a conviction. which is bs. essentially, he was suspended for contributing to the delinquency of minors, though. he bought alcohol for college students or something, right?

as opposed to the great success story call J'Marcus Webb????? I really don't think he'd be much of an improvement. the only way he's not an improvement is if he's not 100%, which he is. sign him to a deal that says you can cut him after the year with minimal implications.

With 16 mil, McNeill is imperative

i realized that i didn't answer smack's question completely. henricksen had stephens ranked 3rd in may, behind parker and i think hamilton.

joe henricksen upgraded him to the second best player in the state for 2013. I know he's not nearly good enough to go to Illinois, and Illinois wouldn't offer the scrub a scholarship... but... where does your guy have Kendall Stephens ranked? illinois wanted stephens and would have taken him and been happy with it. he's not as good as hill, though. Is there a link to Henricksen's rankings? I'm honestly just curious. I know Stephens was hurt off and on this year and he's slipped in the rankings somewhat due to that. it's not on his blog, but he's said in an interview recently that when the new rankings come out, hill will be #2. it has nothing to do with stephens falling or whatever, hill has gone on a pretty nice run may vault him into a 5 star rating. edit: sorry, it was a separate article. http://www.sj-r.com/sports/x1640253395/Illini-basketball-recruits-want-to-know-who-new-coach-will-be
