NFL taking a hard line with players now, follow directions or be suspended

[Skooby]

The NFL set a drop dead date of August 25th on an issue and if the players don't properly respond, they are suspended indefinitely August 26th and must be re-instated after the NFL decides they have responded enough. Seems to be sole discretion of Roger and the powers that be if you performed well enough or you are suspended. That's a real hard line, I guess they want to show the NFLPA that their little court trick wasn't a good idea. Tough lesson for them, so Brady's loss cost all the players big time.

I'm a little shocked that the NFL decided that they are in charge now and if the players don't like it, you get suspended. A heavy handed approach indeed. It doesn't seem like the league is going to cede their power very easily as well, Roger over and out.

Here is the NFL's letter to the NFLPA:
