Now I am just a simple computer jockey who loves sports. I have no affiliation with the NFL or the NFLPA. That being said. I could do a much better job of running the NFL than Roger Goodel is doing.
First off. The whole Patriots thing. Come on man. This isn't hard. You take away a first round draft pick. La di da. They had the 7th overall pick anyway. So you let em take a much higher draft pick. Why were we still subjected to a "perfect season"? The pats shoulda been disqualified from the Jets game thus giving them a loss. Then they shoulda been banned from playoff contention. And even though I still rank them getting there **** handed to them by Peyton's baby brother as one of the best expiriences of my life. We as average football loving joes should never have had to listen to the verbal love fest that every sports outlet gave a pack of cheaters. "The patriots are a dynesty" "the pats are the greatest team ever" please be aware of the sick bags located next to your remote. And now its the ol' "moving past" phaze. It never happened right?
Next off we have the suspensions of players for violation of rules. What happened to 3 strikes and your outta here? Chris Henry has 5 strikes and hes coming back for more. Brandon Marshall will serve all of one day of his original 4 week suspension. I know that we as a society are very lax when it comes to people who are in the news but come on. When will Mike Vick return to the NFL? I know it's coming. Watch out Jamarcus Russell. He'll be coming to the Prison Raiders soon enough.
Last. Why is there no minor league in football? Hockeys got it. Baseballs got it. You have like 120 college football teams. each team has like 60-80 players on it. You have 32 NFL teams with 53 players on each of them. Do the math. Hook it up with the canadian football league or lets get the AFL back up and running. That way when Donovan McNabb goes down you can just call up some no name from the Arlington Grasshoppers or something. Hook it up with the Arena Football pansys. Sorry. No outta bounds seems kinda wimpy to me. It can't be that hard for this to take place.
So I left one thing out. Chad Ocho Cinco. That sounds real dumb. Chad "Don't call me" Johnson. You're in the wrong league man. The XFL closed down remember? You can't just chose any ol' name to slap on the back of your jersey. The NFL wants to appear to be family friendly and professional, remember? And if your gonna change your name, pick up a spanish 1 text book first man. ochenta y cinco, dummy.

"First off. The whole Patriots thing. Come on man. This isn't hard. You take away a first round draft pick. La di da. They had the 7th overall pick anyway. So you let em take a much higher draft pick....Then they shoulda been banned from playoff contention."
That pick was part of a trade, and as such, has ramifications that extend beyond Spygate. Objectively, the seventh pick wasn't what the Patriots earned. They earned the 31st pick, that's the highest pick the NFL should penalize.
This says nothing of the fact that the Patriots have shown to profit greatly from their first round picks anyway. They are going to suffer from not having one, because they're drafting Logan Mankins-like ability far more often than they're drafting Chad Jackson. I think the penalty had teeth and was an equal punishment for the actions the Patriots took. Removing them from the playoffs is far too extreme. The suggestion of that is ridiculous.
"Next off we have the suspensions of players for violation of rules. What happened to 3 strikes and your outta here?"
The NFL is not affiliated with Major League Baseball.
"Chris Henry has 5 strikes and hes coming back for more."
You mean after his four-game suspension, right? And the eight-game suspension he had last season? If you don't think docking a player one third of his entire paycheck for two years isn't a severe penalty, you either make billions of dollars a year, or you don't make anything at all.
"Brandon Marshall will serve all of one day of his original 4 week suspension. I know that we as a society are very lax when it comes to people who are in the news but come on."
He was originally given a three-game suspension that would be reduced to two if he underwent counseling. His appeal got it dropped to one game, but he's still getting fined two game checks. It's not being reduced to a day, he's missing an entire week, and he's playing for free for 12 percent of the season. Again, that's quite a bit. And also, I think the punishment fit the crime.
"The XFL closed down remember? You can't just chose any ol' name to slap on the back of your jersey."
Why can't he? Laws in the U.S. allow people to be named whatever they feel they should be, and I don't think the NFL can take precedent over that.
"The NFL wants to appear to be family friendly and professional, remember?"
Yeah, it's immoral and indecent to name himself after two numbers in another language. Oh, the humanity!
"And if your gonna change your name, pick up a spanish 1 text book first man. ochenta y cinco, dummy."
He's always called himself Eight Five, never Eighty Five. What difference does it make, anyway? Get off your holier-than-thou soap box, it's a publicity stunt, not a language lesson. Do you honestly think the fact he isn't writing it (technically) correctly was an oversight? The rapper 50 Cent commonly goes by Fiddy, but no one cares about that.

I don't even know what to say to that. If my blog is so bad man don't read it. If it's so bad write your own. So you dissagree with me? This is me caring. I'm just putting my own opinion here. No need to pick it apart. Calm down man. I'm not a sports writer, just a regular ol' sports watcher.
