Why the NFLPA is nervous...

This second blog post in the forest I am only posting because the NFL Radio network only allows you to tweet or call to express an opinion... with that the second post

Regarding the possible criminal charges on the Saints bounty issue, originally sent to Mike Florio on March 5th

I know I am not first to the party on this one Doyel nailed it - http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/17595569

But isn't Greg Williams' behavior; paying a "reward" to injure someone outside the bounds of normal play (read "expected work environment") akin to Tonya Harding hiring a hit on Nancy Kerrigan?

This isn't about giving a guy a $100 for an interception, this about crossing the line by ENCOURAGING players to INTENTIONALLY injury a player OUTSIDE of the normal bounds of play and then REWARDING them for doing so.

• Declaring or insinuating that a player should intentionally attempt to injury another "by any means necessary" even commit actions outside the bounds of NFL rules would equate to criminal battery.
• By encouraging the players to intentionally injure opposing players "by any means necessary" even commit actions outside the bounds of NFL rules Williams' may be guilty of Incitment.
• Then the act of rewarding a player for actions that are outside the bounds of the NFL rules (and maybe even the "spirit" of the rules) would equate to conspiracy.
  

As for the argument from others that the players who are coming forward are "snitches"; are they basically protecting themselves from being criminal accessories after the fact?

After reading Peter King's article in which he quotes Dungy isn't there is a compelling case that Williams is indirectly responsible for Peyton Manning possibly losing $28m??? Precedent allows civil lawsuits to be filed if one amateur player injures another amateur player outside the bounds of normal play, why should not this apply when a professional player takes another professional players livelihood.

Am I waaaaaay off here???? You're the lawyer not me

If blogger creates in entry in a forest...

For years I have pondered the value of blogging... I also have pondered the hubris those who feel that what they think/say is so important that they should have their own electronic Speakers' Corner.

But the Twitter people take the cake who randomly tweet utterly mundane (one of the worst types; the others http://soshable.com/15-most-annoying-types-of-twitter-users/)

Just because you can doesn't mean its important

Why am I actually posting then? Good question. To be honest I had forgot I even created this blog until I was tooling around with the new Google Dashboard...
