Very true, and they aren't covered by the CBA. This is why Payton's suspension wasn't overturned after all of his player's suspensions were.
Quote:As far as precedent, that's the point. If coaches are putting hands or taunting players of other teams, that's out of line. And you've got two ways to stop it — fine them (which doesn't work) or suspend their employment. The NFL came out before the game and warned both sides they wouldn't put up with anything... and then they did. They're showing their inability to enforce their rules or their edicts.
Munchak's penalty was so innocuous that suggesting anything beyond the fine is ridiculous. Also, regardless of what Porter may, or may not, have been saying it was Gilberry that created a physical altercation.
Quote:Burfict should get a fine. I don't think anyone doubts that will be coming. But he made a football play in the moment that was of arguable intent. Grabbing a players hair, coming onto the field to taunt a player... there's no arguable intent there. That's durty.
Dude, the grabbing the hair thing is just stupid. Munchak played in the league forever, he was never known for being dirty. It was not intentional and it's impossible to prove that it was.
Quote:And the NFL is impotent to stop it.
Clearly not as Burfict just got suspended for three games.
