"Instead of transparent and fair due process for the four suspended players, the NFL chose news media leaks, character assassinations, PR campaigns and legal manipulation to mislead the public," Foxworth writes.

Joe Vitt can be gruff. He can be sarcastic and he can be defensive. He can also still be the man those inside the Saints’ facility trust and turn to for the next nine months.

Cris Carter admits to using bounties during his career | ProFootballTalk
"I’m guilty of it," Carter said. "It’s the first time I’ve ever admitted it. But I put a bounty on guys before. I put bounties on guys. And the guys tried to take me out, a guy tried to take a cheap shot on me, I put a bounty on him, right now."
Vilma’s lawyer calls NFL process "a kangaroo court" | ProFootballTalk
The fact that the league has continued to refuse to produce raw evidence of guilt despite mounting questions as to its validity and/or existence will serve only to increase suspicion that the evidence isn’t what the league thinks it is — or that the evidence simply isn’t there.

And here was the most hilarious part. The NFL hired a former U.S. attorney named Mary Jo White to "review" the evidence, and you'll never believe what she concluded. She said the NFL was right. "[The players] always had the option to say no," she wrote. "They didn't say no." And who knows the intense peer and coach pressure of an NFL locker room better than Mary Jo White?

"It is absolute fiction," Romanowski said. "If he could read my mind in pre-game, yeah, maybe he had it right. But I didn’t talk before games. I was in the zone. I was focused. I was thinking everything I had to do to help our defense, to help our team win a football game. That’s all that mattered."

Emmitt Smith: Why wouldn’t I worry that the hits will take a toll? | ProFootballTalk
Smith hesitates to link Junior Seau’s suicide to trauma suffered on the football field, however, and he believes we need to consider both the physical toll that playing football can have on the body and the psychological toll that retirement can have on men who have devoted their lives to football and suddenly don’t have that reason to get up every morning.
