Title: Jets Fined $125,000 for cover up: Post by: Defense54 on September 16, 2009, 11:10:12 pm http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-dolphins/sns-ap-fbn-favres-injury-mangini,0,3777394.story?track=rss
What a fricken bunch of cheating corrupt lowlifes in the AFC East. Mangini is a chip of the ole bock, huh Belichick? ::) Title: Re: Jets Fined $125,000 for cover up: Post by: fyo on September 17, 2009, 08:04:39 am I'm tending towards the "this is kind of lame" side in this whole debacle. Yeah, I get that teams are supposed to list players with injuries, but pretty much ALL teams deceive. In this case, it was known the Favre had some kind of injury to his arm, but he wasn't receiving treatment and there was never any doubt as to whether or not he'd start. "Probable" is supposed to mean 75% chance of starting, according to the same NFL that dealt out this fine.

Treat anyone who left that left the game but needed a stretcher the same way you treat players that are doubtful. |
