The players should be punished for bad acting!

Egad. Someone should yellow-card those bozos, then send them to Europe to play soccer.

I really don't have a problem with it.  Its pro ball so are we really worried about the sportsmanship aspect of it?

To me its just another battle of wits in offense vs. defense.  If the NFL wants to fine them for it, go ahead.

That being said, knowing it will creep down to the HS level at some point, as all this stuff does; I really don't want to be placed in the position of diagnosing injuries.  The NF did a great job taking a lot of liability off of me a couple of years ago, I sure don't want it back.

Are we ever going to know if a player just suffered a cramp or not?

Reminds me of this from last year.  I have already seen this at the HS level also.  Some teams just cannot handle the hurry up offenses.

So if this is a problem, could there be any way of solving it?  Perhaps increase the amount of time that injured players have to sit after leaving the game?  Give the teams more charged timeouts but make injuries a charged timeout?

In response to the Giants "injuries" this weekend, the NFL sent a memo promising fines, suspensions or loss of draft picks.
