My first concert was ZZ Top, Lynard Skynard and J. Geils Band, July 1976 in New Orleans. Unfortunately, Lynard Skynard failed to show up and a riot ensued. Good times for a 14 year old at his first concert.

Not just that, these guys werent looking for an edge, and information that would have saved all this nonsense was withheld by the NFL.

It wasn’t. How do you think word about the tainted product made it’s way to the NFLPA and then their agents?
I’m still interested to know if taking the diuretics was a breach of their contract or not. If it was, why hasn’t the team stepped up and issued notice of pending disciplinary action?

I didn’t see this reported on sportscenter.
First they ignore the Big Ben story now Floroi Jr’s first concert…they’ve totally lost it.

I truly hope comon sense prevails and suspensions are either reduced or eliminated altogether. Yes, my name is VikingsPimp so I do have a rooting interest in the outcome, but the reality is if something stupid like this happened to one of your favorite players you would respond the same way. Not just that, these guys werent looking for an edge, and information that would have saved all this nonsense was withheld by the NFL. Pat Williams ways upwards of 340 LBs on a good day and Kevin is a big guy too, it is my feeling, and the feeling of most other impartial observers who neither cheer for the Bears or Packers, that no malice was intended and they should be allowed to run out of the tunnel to open the season.

Hopefully when all is said and done, Goodell ups the suspension to 8 games. This is absolutely ridiculous! You know damn well if one of them became a Korey Stringer (ie. Died) last year during training camp because of diuretics/dehydration/hot weather, the wife and family would be crawling up the NFL’s a$$ for money in lawsuits.

Tell the truth, lawyer.
Attorney fight and have very unproductive meeting and schedule as many unproductive meetings as possible so they can charge for more hours of usless service.

Primarily because that’s what lawyers do; they simply like to fight or because they wish not to be perceived as being averse to fighting.
Okay Mike, now that explains your psyche…
