Crazy4Bengals Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Dear Bengal4life,You really don't want my answer right now. If I had to decide based on a letter from an asshat calling me names, I'd ban Odell and Chris Henry for life. I personally am busy with actually getting work done because my life is supposed to revolve around the NFL, unlike yours. You should spend more time paying attention to important things, and leave Odell Thurman's status alone. I am constantly taking calls about how much of a punk he is, and I am making sure he knows good and well that we mean business. There is no simply signing a reinstatement slip and passing it along. I must weigh the value of allowing this young man to play in the league against the potential for embarassment to the league. I must decide if he is worthy to call himself a member of our fraternity. As it stands, he hasn't proven anything to me yet, but his patience speaks volumes. You'll have your answer, when I'm damned good and ready.Sincerely,Roger GoodellGOD of the NFLIf I didn't want to hear your answer, why did you give it to me? You read into things way to much man. I don't know if you know anything about business but if your given a timeline you expect that timeline to be met. 7-10 days was the timeline in his situation. I didn't say a thing about Henry so stop putting words in my mouth and if you think your Goodell, then you need to take a visit to the psych award. Since when is the NFL a fraternity? As long as I've known it's been a business.An answer from Goodell on this could be no answer at all, which means sorry rabbit, but Trix are for kids! The NFL IS a fraternity as well as a business. It is a group of men bound together not just as coworkers but as brothers in arms.So every business is a coed fraternity? Are you that stupid that you don't see the difference between every other business and the NFL? The NFL does not play by the same rules as other companies. There is a brotherhood there, and a monopoly. Workers only get in by invitation, and only stay in by invitation. They don't pick who they work for, they get drafted, traded, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
