NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Had a feeling something was going on with him. Dude's head just isn't right, and after going through nonsense in Oakland and Baltimore, I doubt it ever will get right.

Release him now.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/06/30/rolando-mcclain-suspended-for-10-games/

 

Good question, i can only assume its because he's still a Free Agent. Basically it boils down to what you said... if he gets signed he comes with a 4 gamer. I cant see that happening.

 

Because he is still a member of the NFLPA who gets the suspension notice right along with the player's team

Obviously, in this case, only the NFLPA got the notice.

 

Ah, that makes sense

 

Cowboys Lawrence also suspended 4 games...

Lawrence's appeal of his substance-abuse suspension was denied. He had a team-leading eight sacks in his second season last year.

The NFL said Thursday that he can participate in training camp and preseason games.

 

Why couldn't we play the Cowboys in the first three weeks? Their whole freaking defense is suspended.

 

this is CFL news, but since we don't have a CFL page i wanted to share this video of this dick taking a vicious hit and then knocking over a coach and then taunting the other team on THEIR SIDELINES. How stupid can you be even in the CFL?

In fairness, his father is Cris Carter...

 

Speaks volumes about your confidence in the Stihlers to beat Dallas.

 

And that makes it okay? What has that got to do with anything? The other team should of jumped him!

 

And they had holes in the 1st place and were expected to draft a defensive player in the 1st round but they drafted a guy that is similar to Bell......If he's as good as bell, it would be worth it. But it's a little risky for the Cowboys with no NFL experience yet..

 

And lot of people are counting their chickens before they hatch, by predicting Ezekiel to lead the league in rushing.

 

No, just saying assclown parents tend to beget assclown kids, is all

 

I am looking at total yards gained and TDs scored Gid........

Anyways, Happy 4th of July weekend everyone! It was a nice debate.....

Edit: I think...... *SCRATCH*

 

Judge lets new painkillers lawsuit against NFL teams proceed

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? More than 1,500 former players claiming that NFL teams and their training staffs dispensed powerful drugs while misleading them about the health risks will get their day in court.

Federal judge William Alsup of the Northern District of California denied a motion Friday to dismiss the players' lawsuit, allowing the discovery phase of the trial to begin.

Alsup had dismissed a similar lawsuit in December 2014, in which former Chicago Bears great Richard Dent was the lead plaintiff among the dozen named. Alsup wrote that the collective bargaining agreement was the proper forum to resolve the players' claims. That case is currently on appeal.

The new lawsuit was filed in May 2015 in federal court in Baltimore and eventually transferred back to Alsup because it was closely related. The new class action, however, names each of the NFL's 32 teams individually and a new group of named plaintiffs ? 13 in all ? among them Cowboys Hall of Fame defensive back Mel Renfro and Etopia Evans, the widow of former Vikings and Ravens fullback Chuck Evans, who died of heart failure at age 41.

In denying the motion to dismiss, Alsup also noted the new lawsuit claims the teams' conduct was "intentional," as opposed to "negligent," and thus illegal. Players contend they were routinely and indiscriminately given powerful painkillers, often without prescriptions or even a cursory exam, to mask pain and injuries and get them back on the field without regard for their long-term health.

"When asked about side effects of medications, club doctors and trainers responded, 'none,' 'don't worry about them,' 'not much,' 'they are good for you,' or, in the case of injections, 'maybe some bruising,'" Alsup wrote, referring to what he called the "well-pled facts" of the players' previous claim.

"These answers misrepresented the actual health dangers posed by these drugs," the judge added.

Steve Silverman, the lead plaintiffs' attorney in both lawsuits, said "the court has opened the doors of justice for those players who were illegally drugged, used, abused and discarded by the NFL teams."

"Plaintiffs will now have the opportunity to put the NFL teams to task as to where these painkillers came from, how they were namelessly purchased in bulk, and why there is no record of examinations and prescriptions as to most players," he added.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy declined comment.

 

Buccaneers OL Dominique Robertson shot twice in leg

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Dominique Robertson was shot twice in the leg by an unknown suspect while outside an apartment building in Loma Linda, California, early Thursday morning, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

Robertson contacted deputies after he was being treated for his wounds at Loma Linda University Medical Center. According to the sheriff's department, deputies investigating the incident were unable to locate evidence or establish a crime scene where the shooting allegedly took place. Neighbors living in the vicinity told deputies they did not hear gunshots or other disturbances near the time of the shooting.

According to Deputy Olivia Bozek, Robertson suffered injuries to his back, buttocks and leg. Who caused the shooting remains under investigation, she said.

Robertson, 21, was released from the hospital Friday.

The Buccaneers issued a statement about the incident: "We are aware of the reports concerning Dominique Robertson. We can confirm that he has been released from the hospital and is at home resting. We are in the process of gathering more information, but our primary concern is for Dominique's health and well-being." (NFL.com)

 

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) ? The Detroit Lions have released Stephen Tulloch.

The Lions announced Tuesday that they'd cut the veteran linebacker. Coach Jim Caldwell said in a statement that Tulloch has been "a consummate professional on and off the field."

Tulloch started all 16 games for the Lions last season, his fifth with Detroit. He's played 10 seasons in the NFL.

Tulloch joined the Lions in 2011 as a free agent.

In 2014, Tulloch missed most of the season after injuring his knee, but he was able to come back last season.

 

He'd be a nice fit in Dallas.
