"Why are NFL players sobbing" I see that a few NFL players are upset, still, with Commissioner Roger Goodell. I can see a part of their complaints, but it seems to be an ego trip for the players more than Goodell. Paul Tagliabu, the previous commissioner, built the league up to what it is on TV today. He didn't enforce many behavioral or safety punishments while doing so. Goodell has hurt the "Untouchable", "Above the Law" attitudes that were rampant just a year ago. The game has less injuries now. And also guys like Micheal Vick(Who shouldn't be playing in my opinion) have been granted a second chance to participate in the most watched sport in the world after the horrible actions exhibited in his particular case. I don't see an abuse of power, I see an enforcement of Rules that have existed for decades but have not been applied. Sorry that the big deal is more of a personal issue to the Browns LB Scott Fujita and the Saints LB Jonathan Vilma. I don't hear too many other players, whom aren't doing anything to break NFL Rules, complaining too much.
"Manny vs Mayweather" Ok, to get things kicked off I must comment on the Paquiao vs Mayweather fight that may or may not happen. I saw Mayweather on HBO bitching at Larry Merchant about how he doesn't get a "Fair shake" from the boxing media. SHUT_UP!! You run off at the mouth every time there is microphone near you! You are the victim of your own actions! Manny Paquiao is willing to give you the bigger split of the purse, take a drug test before the fight, whatever it takes to get in the ring with you. You are a great boxer Floyd, but until you fight Manny your undefeated record will have that ? next to it. The fight that never happened vs Paquiao will be remembered beyond any fight you've ever won.
