Acme Packing Company Jolly: What's the Story?


First, I should disclaimer this by saying that I don’t know the story; I’m just merely asking a question. Johnny Jolly receives an indefinite suspension for (all that is known to the public) 200g of codeine. Yet Michael Vick is connected to a shooting at his birthday party, no discipline. Vince Young gets into a fight at a strip club, no punishment. I don’t mean to imply that Vick and Young should face such severe penalties – although one might argue that for Vick…I thought he was supposed to keep his nose clean to stay in the NFL…I’m just wondering why no fines, no suspensions.

Goodell has a track record of doling out hefty sentences in order to “clean up” this league, but these past two rulings have me questioning what is going on. Is this so much of a QB driven league, that they get preferential treatment?  But then that didn’t work out so well for Big Ben.

So what’s the story? What is it that we don’t know, because I’d like to know?

It seems a little too early to rank the teams, and its Peter King, so I think it should be taken with a grain of salt, but it is interesting to see his thoughts. Plus he's got the Packers at #1, and the Vikings on the outside of the playoff bubble, so I like it.

Good to see Ruvell with a team, though kinda surprised it took this long. Is St. Louis becoming Green Bay South? Gado, Martin, Lenon...

Really?? Has this guy seen Rodgers play recently? I'm guessing not...
