I went ahead and removed the strangely irrelevant parts of your post that didn't answer the question in anyway. Anyways, why is the NFLPA who has actively negotiated against domestic cases being subject to discipline not under fire? Why are players calling for Goodell's head when they have actively supported their Union leaders who have taken this stance?

It's still very interesting that no one is interested in the resistance from the Players Union about changing the domestic violence policy. Why? Why is this a lightning rod for Goodell? Is it just maroons who need a figurehead? Well, he's the ONLY person who knows the truth then. Why aren't you as upset at DeMaurice Smith who actively lobbied against player punishment for domestic cases?

You don't get it at all. Are you even a Bills fan? Now that he's NOT on the Bills, he's AWESOME!

Truer words never spoken.

Good rule of thumb imo

because actual football matters little to a portion of this board..the constant, non-stop kvetching whether it is valid or invalid is what really matters.

Who do people calling for his head think should take over? Do they think said person would have done better in regards to domestic violence? Has the player's union expressed support for reforming the personal conduct code before this? Do they now? Why isn't DeMaurice Smith under fire?

I'm curious about the call for his resignation. Is it just ray rice's suspension that leads people to believe he should resign? Is it that they did not have sufficient resources in place to handle domestic violence in the NFL? People seem to mention that he makes ~41-44 million an awful lot, how does that fit into it? Who do people calling for his head think should take over? Do they think said person would have done better in regards to domestic violence?

Ray Rice. He's looking for work and is familiar with the NFL's domestic violence problem.

Your definition of best obviously doesn't include being an entertainment sideshow.

I think it's simple. The players have much more free time on their hands in the offseason and the prevalence of recording equipment and easy distribution of information.

Even after all this time, you people don't know his name...it was Chaswick Reingartenberger IV

There is a lot to respect about Brady despite having fun bashing him. If he played in a different division of the NFC then it would be much easier to laud his greatness.

stop posting, reading or paying attention to him and he'll be out of a job. Your thread just extended his employment.

doesn't matter where it comes from if you test positive

Urbik is not a tackle converted to guard. He was a guard in college. I don't believe he has ever played tackle.

He would get 50 Million dollars if any team is put in Toronto since it is in the Bills area. The amount may have changed. A team in Toronto expands the overall football market. You can google Tesla opening up its patents to competitors to understand the economic theory behind it. By expanding the market, your 'competition' (NFL teams are not exactly direct competition) may make more money, but the larger market means there is a bigger pie to share.

Seeing as he owns the Sabres and is well aware of the financial benefits the hockey team in Toronto brings to them and the large cash windfall that would come with such a team to him, I'm guessing he would not exactly be against it.

Please don't bring back the Jills

I like how you operate from this automatic view that you're right and everyone else has a narrow view. I question your ability to be a moderator with that stance.

There will be much gnashing of teeth and many 'excuses' why he was good and lots of talk about how teams will be ready for him next year.

I believe that 'right minded' people would stay on topic. This thread is specifically about the patent office. I feel that people bringing whether it is the 'right' thing to do are using that as a crutch. I can only come to the conclusion that they are unable to separate what the patent office has done from whether it is the socially/morally right thing to do.
