Mr. WEO Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 that characterization depends pretty widely on the nature of the questions involved. our bosses may not like us refusing to answer questions, but what consequence is levied (in this case suspension without pay) would not be a "gimme" of a result which is exactly what anyone with that authority banks on in being able to push the issue. public opinion always falls to "well if you didnt do anything...." and rarely to "i wonder what they are trying to get out of this negotiation" Even if there was no public knowledge of this, the players would still have zero leverage.

3rdand12 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Either personal or NFLPA, one way or the other they'll be represented. As long as they are coached. I would be upset if this was onesided and manipulative of the NFL after releasing Manning from the "investigation" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 @AlbertBreer Albert Breer Retweeted ProFootballTalk Most dangerous for players: Goodell used the conduct-detrimental hammer in drug-policy case. http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2016/08/18/nfl-union-al-jazeera-ped-roger-goodell-notebook This article is just terrible imo. He is writing without thinking about the consequences for the players. Sure they can poke the bear but for what? Within a couple of weeks of their interviews if not sooner all of these players will be cleared. I struggle to see the "precedent" issue that he is using to frame his argument. If anyone of us had a workplace accusation of impropriety we would have to meet with someone to discuss it. It may even be as simple as did you do this? No? Okay. Albert Breer and others are making this a much bigger deal than I think the NFL intends it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 @ProFootballTalk Decision of Mike Neal to not be interviewed means he will likely be the test case for Article 46 vs. PED policy legal battle. He's the one the NFL said was lying in his affidavit. No surprise he's not showing up. Unless they were P*ts player such as T*m Br*dy as you have bent over backward to support many times. How did Brady's sit down with the NFL go for him Nimrod? Did you just wake up from a meth-induced coma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 @DanGrazianoESPN According to a source, free-agent RB Mike Neal will consent to be interviewed by the NFL in al-Jazeera matter after all. Changed his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
