Pat And Kevin Williams To Be Suspended For Being Members Of The Minnesota Vikings
Well, it looks like Roger Goodell will finally, after all this time, be able to enforce the National Football League's substance abuse policy in the random and arbitrary manner that he wishes. Access Vikings is reporting that the Minnesota Supreme Court has refused to hear Pat Williams' appeal of...
Do the Right Thing: A Judge Gary Larson Joint
In a ruling that's certain to anger Herr Goodell and the rest of the folks at the NFL offices in New York, Judge Gary Larson today ruled that the league can't suspend Pat Williams or Kevin Williams while they fight their bogus four-game suspensions in the court system. "Public policy . . ....
Judge Rules Williams Wall Must Serve Garbage Four-Game Suspension
The first paragraph of the Star-Tribune's story says it all: Minnesota Vikings Kevin and Pat Williams may be forced to serve four-game suspensions even though the NFL is their employer and violated their rights under state labor laws, Hennepin County Judge Gary Larson ruled Thursday.

An Open Letter to Roger Goodell

Starcapapalooza - Judge Laughs at NFL Request to Return to Federal Court

Goodell Begging Congress to Clean Up His Mess
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has spent a good amount of time in Washington, D.C. over the past couple of days, and I can't say that he appears to have enjoyed himself too much. He got ripped by Congress for the disgusting way the league treats its former players, and now, according to Pro...
StarCaps: This is the Song That Never Ends
Yes, it goes on and on, my friends. . . Just when you thought we were done with the whole "StarCaps" thing for a while, along comes the National Football League.

Pat and Kevin Williams Will Play All of 2009
The WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHmbulences are being dispatched to Chicago and Green Bay as we speak. (The completely brain-dead whining in the Green Bay link is especially choice. Somehow, the most bitter tears always taste the sweetest.) Yes, this afternoon the U.S. Circuit Court of...
