The players union was all for this, they were some of the ones who started to conversation in fact. Now i am also a little confused why we brought Art Shell into this as well.... maybe there is something I dont know but he was fired as the raiders coach, has he gotten another job since? Maybe you meant Sharpton, now he may have a problem with it.
Paul Hornung, a Hall of Famer was suspended for a full year, I think it was 1963.
That makes sense since he is suspended w/o pay. If not, the Titans are up s#$% creek without a paddle on that one. Who do they draft now? Think WR still or go DB?
To play devil's advocate, Jones was not charged like Henry was. Jones was questioned by police and arrested more than Henry, but not actually charged. Again, this is as devil's advocate. I think both should have been suspended for a year and am glad to see that goodell is trying to clean up the league. There have been some comments that the players can't stay out of trouble for a year. I'd be interested to see a poll asking whether the fans think that the two can stay out of trouble.
Actually they've already signed Nick Harper from the Colts and he is the designated replacement. Looks like they'll add someone else during the draft.
from the sounds of it, they're going to go with what they've got in the secondary, including newly acquired Nick Harper. There are some good cover guys in the draft, but I'm not thinking they'll spend a high draft pick on one.
Correct, and Alex Karras was suspended the same year for gambling. Not as famous as Hornung, but he was an all-pro tackle for the Lions.
