I'm pretty much with you on #1. I don't get it either. It's why I have some strong suspicions.
But on #2, the entire reason there is a process, that there is supposed to be an independent doctor, is that we all KNOW, by history and facts, you CAN'T trust the teams, the league, or the coaches to do the "right thing". We all KNOW we can't trust ANY of them Gugny, hell they made a movie about it. The doc is the sheriff in town, which is why I am focused all on him, and, maybe, anything the team said TO him. I hope more facts come out.
