NFL personal conduct policy

 

Engaging in violent and/or criminal activity is unacceptable and constitutes conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in the National Football League. Such conduct alienates the fans on whom the success of the League depends and has negative and sometimes tragic consequences for both the victim and the perpetrator.

The League is committed to promoting and encouraging lawful conduct and to providing a safe and professional workplace for its employees.

 

Persons covered by policy

 

The following persons ("Covered Persons") shall be considered subject to this Policy: (i) all players under contract; (ii) all full-time employees of the National Football League, its Member Clubs and related entities; (iii) all rookie players once they are selected in the NFL college draft; and (iv) all undrafted rookie players, unsigned veterans and other prospective employees once they commence negotiations with a Club concerning employment.

 

Prohibited conduct

 

It will be considered conduct detrimental for Covered Persons to engage in (or to aid, abet or conspire to engage in or to incite) violent and/or criminal activity. Examples of such Prohibited Conduct include, without limitation: any crime involving the use or threat of physical violence to a person or persons; the use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a crime; possession or distribution of a weapon in violation of state or federal law; involvement in "hate crimes" or crimes of domestic violence; theft, larceny or other property crimes; sex offenses; racketeering; money laundering; obstruction of justice; resisting arrest; fraud; and violent or threatening conduct. Additionally, Covered Persons shall not by their words or conduct suggest that criminal activity is acceptable or condoned within the NFL.

 

Persons charged with criminal activity

 

Any Covered Person arrested for or charged with conduct prohibited by this policy will be required to undergo a consultation and additional counseling as directed. Failure to comply with the consultation and counseling (including being arrested for or charged with additional criminal activity during the evaluation and counseling period) shall itself be conduct detrimental to the National Football League and shall be punishable by fine or suspension at the discretion of the Commissioner.

 

Disposition of the criminal proceeding

 

Any Covered Person convicted of or admitting to a criminal violation (including a plea to a lesser included offense; a plea of nolo contendere or no contest; or the acceptance of a diversionary program, deferred adjudication, disposition of supervision, or similar arrangement) will be subject to discipline as determined by the Commissioner. Such discipline may include a fine, suspension without pay and/or banishment from the League. Any Covered Person convicted of or admitting to a second criminal violation will be suspended without pay or banished for a period of time to be determined by the Commissioner.

 

Persons engaged in violent activity in the workplace

 

Every employee is entitled to a safe and professional workplace free of criminal behavior, violence and threats against personal safety. Criminal conduct in the workplace or against other employees is prohibited. Any Covered Person who commits or threatens violent acts against co-workers, regardless of whether an arrest is made or criminal charges are brought, shall be subject to evaluation, counseling and discipline, including termination of employment.

 

Duty to report prohibited conduct

 

To ensure the effective administration of the policy, the League must be advised when a Covered Person engages in Prohibited Conduct. The obligation to report an arrest or criminal charge extends to both the person involved and to the Club or League entity for which he or she works.

When a person subject to this policy is arrested or charged with Prohibited Conduct, that information must be reported to the Club and NFL Security. Failure to report an incident will constitute conduct detrimental and will be taken into consideration in the final determination of discipline under this policy.

 

Appeal rights

 

Any person disciplined under this policy shall have a right of appeal, including a hearing, before the Commissioner or his designee. Except for the enforcement of a suspension, no other requirements set forth in the policy will be stayed pending the completion of the appeal.

Coaching of the chiefs: OK so Haley hasnt waved a magic wand and changed the chiefs into a playoff team in the short time he has been here like some people seem to think he should have because they are already getting the pitchforks ready. Let the guy figure this job out he has been here for a few months thats it and was not givin a whole lot to work with and has been scrambling to work it all out give the guy a break. After this season is over and he gets an actual offseason to work with and if he does aweful then i wont be so nice talking about him but for now let him get his stuff in order.

 

Players: for the most part from what ive seen on the field the players have been working hard and trying to get things done i mean who thought we could even get to manning last game i didnt but they proved me wrong and if there are things that are going on in the locker room that none of us see then thats that. the team will deal with it and we should not judge them for it. they are the ones on the field not us.

 

This season: I didnt expect much after the offseason we had top to bottom the team went through alot of changes so it will take a long while with so much happening to get it all together but like i said before next offseason and next seson there hs to be alot of improvement and alot of change in the right direction or else all this is for nothing and it will be even longer before the chiefs are back in the playoffs or superbowl.

I want to know what all of you think about getting rid of Larry. I know he is a good back and i know he still has skills, but with the sate our OLINE is in and the fact that he isnt getting any younger should we get what we can for him now to build for the future. I wouldnt want to see him go but with the combination of charles and savage who looks alot better this year should we try to get value out of Johnson now?

OK after the loss to the raiders i was so mad that i put up a post on here basically saying goodbye to the chiefs. I did alot of thinking about it and i wanted to say im sorry to everyone and the chiefs for being a dick.  And also i did see a comment someone made on my post a few days ago and i am not a bandwagon fan i would never be a fan of the patriots or steelers i dont know who put that comment up but just wanted to put that out there.  but again im sorry for sayin i lost faith in the chiefs.

OK Sso here we go Ive been posting alot of comments long ones too about the the ravens game so i wants to put up a post so im not writing a paragraph comment.

Week 1 Ravens We lost DUH

Week 2 VS Raiders Im gonna go out and say we win big 2- 3 TDs

Week 3 VS Eagles No Mcnabb Win by FG Mcnabb Plays they win by TD

Week 4 VS Giants Sorry they win Big

Week 5 VS Cowboys After playing the eagles and giants ill say we win this but it will probably be close

Week 6 VS Redskins Another Close game that we should win

Week 7 VS  Chargers This is the game I Really want to see because it will Decide whos going to take the AFC West but we should win it.

Week 8 BYE

Week 9 VS Jaguars Another Close but winable game

Week 10 VS Raiders after the tough schedule we destroy them easy

Week 11 VS Steelers Sorry We will probably be dominated .... BUT if Polamalu's  still out for some reason it might not be as bad

Week 12 VS Chargers after loosing to the Steelers they should come out firing and win this

Week 13 VS Broncos Finally we get these guys and we can and will beat them in the dirt

Week 14 VS Bills TO wont matter we will win

Week 15 VS Browns I will say we get a Big win since we should have our game together this late in the season

Week 16 VS Broncos WOOO last game of the season and the Chiefs are sittin pretty with around 8 or 9 wins and taking the AFC west. But if we go to the playoffs I dont see the chiefs going past the first week
