Well, I have personally been around a lot of NFL players, “tampering with” “fiddling with” “interfering with” most of them will get you a punch in the face, at the very least.

Nice picture…..looks like most officiating crews at lambeau when they should be overturning a call.

Let the tampering begine…three days earlier

I could be wrong, but I’m thinking this is a first step towards some actual enforcement of the tampering rules outside of the 3-day window. Goodell is kind of a control freak so it just makes sense to me that he wants to start enforcing more rules – but in a way that he hopes can be accepted.

It will only matter if the NFL actually penalizes (wink wink) transgressions outside the approved window. If not, then this is largely pointless.

Na, it will just create a non-legal ‘tampering’ time before the meetings as teams and agents try to get a jump on the competition. Followed to its logical conclusion this means that, in approximately 25 years, teams will begin negotiating the 2nd deal with other teams projected 1st rd draft picks before the draft

I once applied lipstick and a bit of rouge to a rather dubious-looking swine outside of a truck stop in northwest Alabama.

To cut to the chase, turned out the swine was actually one of the local Billy Bobs down on his luck after spending his meager inheritance on a Checkers franchise formerly owned by the misbegotten scion of a distinguished English family that made its mark in marshmallow production.

Please stop caring about this.

If everyone is doing it, no one is gaining an advantage and no one gets hurt.

The only people who should care are people who root for teams that don’t do it.
