    He makes what Goodell is doing look good. Big WR who benefits from the new rules, thats a great formula in a football hot spot in Ohio. Goodell with his stupid standards is inadvertently hurting his product.

    Yeah, because guys getting busted for smoking weed OVER AND OVER and beating their Girlfriends is a flatteringly good look for the NFL

    The NFL is getting stale to a lot of fans, all the guys Goodell suspends make their teams better. Personally I'd look forward to a year where Patriots, Colts, Ravens, Steelers, and the usual teams didn't headline the postseason.

    This all has an eerie and similar (though not identical) echo of Pac Man and Britt (just the worst luck with authority) . If either one of them were coherent I would bet that they would have posted similar letters back in their day.

    Good read. Is it me, or do all African American (I'm AA myself, so it's not a racist statement) athletes come from poverty and a bad upbringing? It's amazing.

    Also, I wonder who snitched on Gordon when he was on the private plane flying to Vegas. Someone had to give the league a head ups for him to be tested within 4 hours upon arrival.

    Yea most NFL players do come from nothing, kids with money and all that arent hungry. Nick Foles is a rare case of a rich kid wanting it bad enough, but Id say 9 out of 10 players come from poor areas.

    Uhh there are tons of white players who came from either rich families or a strong family atmosphere.

    It's pretty rare for black players to be so lucky. They usually come from broken homes and live in bad areas. But they (usually) had their mommas there supporting them.

    "Nothing" is subjective too. You can come from a rich family and have a garbage upbringing. On the flip side, you can live in a terrible area, but have a strong family.

    This is why black guys are usually the ones crying when they get drafted though. Their families were as broke as TE and me.
