Bernstein is talking about it.

For those that don't know, once you pull a player off IR, you can't put him back on for the same injury. Which is what the Packers did.

If a team does this, that player has to be released. Then he's on waivers. So the team with the worst record gets the first claim.

So, if I'm the Browns, I'm suing the league in order to get Aaron Rodgers. Why the hell wouldn't they do it.

Because they're dumbasses?

the score's NFL expert hub arkush stated this morning that this accusation is a bunch of crap because teams stash players with fake injuries on IR all the time, why would you start caring about it now?

Yeah, this is a dumb thing to be talking about. Non-story.

Right. But the Packers made the mistake of admitting it was the same injury. If they just made up some other injury, they'd be fine.

They are fine. Rodgers isn't going anywhere. Don't be this dumb.

Its a dumb story but watching GB fans have to get defensive is always nice.

I'm just saying, if the Browns wanted to sue the NFL, the judge would rule in their favor. Because it is an NFL rule. If I'm the Browns, why the hell wouldn't they do it to get Aaron Rodgers? They would be the dumb asses not to do it.

Yeah. The Packers did mess this up and the Browns should fight it.

As with other NFL issues, "ignorance is not an excuse".

Bernstein is making this too complicated. The Packers didn't need a doctor to lie about a fake injury.

All the Packers had to say was he tweaked his hamstring and that's why he's going back on IR. That's something that you don't need a doctor for.

? But if that’s what the Packers did, why shouldn’t he be going anywhere ?

Sure. But Aaron Rodgers isn't going anywhere.

Because the NFL and/or a judge isn't going to make the Packers release Aaron Rodgers. This story will go away with a fine or loss of draft pick or something like that.

It's like a Disney movie come to life. Like when Banks had to play for District 5 in the Mighty Ducks. Rodgers goes to Cleveland and ends up winning a Superbowl next season.

The Bears once lost a free agent because Jerry Angelo didn't check a box when they sent it into the league.

I could listen to this, Herron is solid. Bernstein solo was pretty good, this is as well. Goff killed this show.

Do you agree that by rule they should though?

The Browns probably won't sue.

But a Judge would absolutely rule in their favor if they did.

Browns won't sue cuz they think it's unfair and in poor taste.

But if I'm the shitty Browns that haven't won in decades I'm saying "Fuck it. Let's get Aaron Rodgers"

I don't know. I haven't looked into it much since it's obvious Rodgers isn't going anywhere.

This rule has only been around for 2 years. When the NFL decided to let IR be for 8 weeks. Before the IR meant the entire season. And they have this rule so teams can't stash players that they don't want to lose. But all you have to do is make up shit. So the Packers are dumb.

It is a rule, but because its the Packers the NFL will allow them to do whatever they want.

The catch rule(s) is/are dumb too, but that doesn't stop the NFL from enforcing them they way they are written in the rule book.

Why? Why all of a sudden should the NFL chose what rules to enforce and not enforce?

And I noticed you cherry picked and did not quote this statement;

While I don't think anything will happen, the NFL went out out of their way to piss all over Tom Brady as much as possible for deflating footballs and he's bigger than ARod.

I didn't quote that statement because it was irrelevent to me making fun of you for thinking the NFL grants special favor to the Packers.

It's a huge story if the NFL is giving preferential treatment around a star player that broke a clear rule. I agree they aren't likely to force him to be released but you have to understand why this would be talked about.

The NFL has ruled otherwise in other situations regarding improper transactions.

Unless someone wants to make a convincing case that Rodgers will be playing for the Browns next year, no I do not understand why this would be talked about. Slow news week, I guess.
