[Dback Jon]

Man, does the NFL not have it's priorities right...

I know, one is covered under the players agreement, but if the NFL and NFLPA were serious about player safety they'd change the fine structure ASAP.

I can't blame them after kicking Motorola to the curb after all those years & their new mega deal with Bose.

 

[Rivercard]

By definition, the ruling on headphones is a sound policy.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Wow... I guess it's better to take out a guys knees.

 

[Darkside]

Wow... I guess it's better to take out a guys knees.

Only if you're wearing Bose and have your socks pulled up.

I've got an idea - how about not wearing *any* headphones to a freaking press conference? Oh yeah, the guy's a major delta bravo, and wants to make sure nobody forgets it. So yeah, show up with your pink headphones draped around your neck.

Kraperpick's 15 minutes of fame are winding down quickly. This guy will fade to irrelevance by next year.

 

[TJ]

Should've dove at someone's knees while wearing those headphones. Would've saved him about a grand.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

Because everyone knows having the right headphones is more important than Calais Campbell's knees.

In all fairness, they should schedule a hearing

 

[Fitz Rulz]

WTF!!!
$10K on damn headphones
$8K causing injury to another player

 

[cardpa]

I heard he's going to appeal since Bose doesn't make pink headphones and he was only supporting the Breast Cancer cause.

 

[D-Dogg]

That fine structure is ridiculous; that they care more about money than safety is so conspicuous.

/luda

As much as I hate saying this, I hope he wins to throw these stupid rules back at the NFL. This is so stupid

It's what was negotiated in the current CBA.

Max fine for a first offense chop block is $8K. Thomas got the Max.

Zackly.

on top of that those things are overpriced and inferior. So it's all about the secret endorsement deals with "beets".

Besides if the OL had not engaged the thigh block was legal.

Can't say I blame him. BOSE = Buy Other Sound Equipment.

Why the hate for CK? Because he's good? A Niner? I wish we had him.

I'd rather Palmer.

Niner and dbag.

Maybe he can get naked so we can see his tatoos some more.

But really, Niner is enough for me.
