============================
There’s no freaking way that the 2009 Vikings’ turnover machine would have beaten Peyton Manning and the Colts!!!

That’s the ticket, it’s the only way the Vikings will ever get a Lombardi Trophy.

At 0-4, it is certainly the only way they will ever get one.

Goodell does not have both of his oars in the water. For this reason alone, he needs to step down, or be replaced.

That’s the only way the queens will ever get one, if it’s handed to them….they sure as hell can’t earn one.

You have to get a new job in a new industry. No one wants a whistleblower in their company–this is not right but it is a fact.

Nice probing analysis, I’m dying to see the NFL respond with their explanation and reasoning behind these recent developments.

In the case Cynthia Cooper, her ability to remain anonymous for a period of time while still operating as an internal auditor at Worldcom was central to her role in the resulting investigation.

As seen in the Dodd-Frank Whistleblower provisions, the federal government has made clear that it believes that by providing protection from company reprisals greater participation by whistleblowers will lead to greater accountability within corporate America.

How can the NFL justify outing its whistleblower? How can the league be so short sighted as to ignore the message this sends (i.e. we will not protect your anonymity, we will place you at risk of harm (both physically and financially).

What incentive is there now for any individual to come forward with allegations of wrongdoing within NFL organizations? The NFL made a seriously short-sighted misstep that will ultimately weaken the level of accountability within the league and increase the chances that schemes such as the alleged pay for injury scheme will go unnoticed and unpunished.
