While most people don't think of it as one, NFL player is a profession. If your boss accused you of something and instated a punishment without due process, would you not appeal to the justice system? The power that Goodell has is beyond any due process, and that is an issue when he controls people's jobs.

NFL concludes Peyton Manning didn't use HGH, any other PEDs

The NFL has determined that Peyton Manning did not use human growth hormone or any other performance-enhancing drug banned under the league's policy.

The league announced its decision in a statement released Monday, saying it "found no credible evidence" of allegations in an Al-Jazeera America report that Manning's wife received deliveries of HGH in 2011.

Before making its final determination, the NFL interviewed Manning and his wife, Ashley, who were "fully cooperative with the investigation," according to the league.

...
Much to do about nothing it would seem.

Hard to swallow. Why tarnish his legendary career anyways? He's so tied in with the NFL that any malfeasance on his name only negatively affects the league.

Anyone else objective enough to see the double standard the league uses to persecute prosecute certain athletes?

"'fully cooperative with the investigation,' according to the league." Is this a statement that when the league comes with accusations you better cooperate or else?!

Brady's phone might agree.

But yes I thought the same when I read that quote. Seems to be a very intentional underlying message.

Read the ESPN article on the Bennett bros. Eh they're raw and say some funny shit but sound like douchebags "Can I have a glass of water filled to 1/3". But they did say Jay Cutler was the QB in the league

I went to school with them. I played pick-up games of basketball with Martellus twice. True stories.

Didn't read the article tho.
