Falcons wide receiver Roddy White has never been shy about expressing his opinions on Twitter. He wasn't happy about the labor deal when it was initially agreed upon last summer, has been outspoken about former players suing the league, and he wasn't happy with his ranking on NFL Network's "Top 100: Players of 2012." With players criticizing NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell over the discipline handed down to four current and former members of the New Orleans Saints, White used a Monday afternoon tweet from former NFL executive and player agent Andrew Brandt as a springboard for criticizing the deal the NFL Players Association made with the league. The following is an unedited stream of tweets from White: "Don't know why we complaining we did this to ourselves," White wrote. "I applaud roger godell for brokering a hell of a deal and I blame nflpa for failing us... Whoever is the head of the baseball union that's who we need to hire they never have problems," White said. "Ok they have had problems but not on the same issues that where [sic] problems before they signed a new cba as a union...the nflpa fixed none of our real problems...Sold us a great dream about how good the deal was I didn't even want to sign that card because I knew the deal we signed was terrible."

You remember Mike Orstein, don’t you? He is the two time felon who sent those emails pledging money for the Saints bounty pool. One of which was a pledge for a “knockout blow” to Aaron Rodgers.
From the start Orstein has maintained that the emails were sent in jest. Sean Payton even claimed to not have read them. So when it was time to meet with Roger Goodell, Orstein continued...

Morning Huddle - Bountygate ends this week (probably)
So that's why the NFL won't release the Bountygate evidence.
Later today, Roger Goodell will hear the final appeals of four players punished by the league for their involvement in Bountygate. Goodell will almost certainly decide to uphold his own punishment, and we will finally be able to put the scandal in our rear view mirror, hopefully by the end of the week. The NFLPA...

Something I've done in the painstakingly long "bountygate" process is accept that Roger Goodell is going to get his way, live with the fact that the Saints will be without numerous key coaches, front office members, and players, and just move on. I think it's time we all do that, honestly. Regardless of what side of the fence you sit on, at the end of the day, I...

I find sports commissioners and sports organizing bodies terribly interesting. I realize that sounds like an odd statement, but I really do mean it. There are not many organizations in the US or other democratic nations that can rule so unilaterally. Yes, the NFL and NBA, for example, are governed by a collective bargaining agreement, but outside of that, there are hardly any...
