Just one link today, folks. Everything else is about yesterday’s news on Travis Henry, Sam Adams, and Jeff Shoate. Seriously, everything.
I’m not a big Woody Paige fan (some of his recent work has been particularly bad/weird), but he had an interesting take on the Henry suspension and his “victory” over the NFL. It might just have more to do with politics and not having to fight the legal system than admitting that The Shield was wrong.
Ostensibly, the NFL erred in the faulty handling of the Henry drug testing, response to a temporary restraining order and effort to move the case from a state to a federal court. The league opened itself up to a potentially precarious circumstance in which the New York Supreme Court eventually could have ruled that its policy and practices in regard to substance abuse tests are not acceptable under the law.
In all honesty, it’s refreshing to hear Woody talk about something worth talking, and doing it in an informative and entertaining fashion.
