Your arguement would mean the lawyer who wrote the contract would be someone who doesn't know how to write a contract including a basic clause. The contract would include language stating if any part of the contract is ruled invalid, it does not invalidate the entire contract. (severability) Again, basically you don't have a clue what you're talking about. The state can not write a law which applies to only NFL players, this would be a violation of the equal protection clause of the constitution. again, you're clueless. As for the vikings deciding to leave or the NFL making them, if these lawyers are so stupid as to be unaware of the laws in the states where they have operated for 50 years, then moving sure isn't going to help them. They are clueless, then. Again, the NFL is not the employer, the vikings are. That's how they claim not to violate federal antitrust laws. If the NFL wished, they could just impliment a policy saying the vikings must forfeit any games the williams wall played in until the matter was resolved in court. That is, the NFL could act like the NCAA's or high school league. But sport is not what the NFL is about, is it? The NFL couldn't care less about moving out of a state for any reason other than bottom line. It's a business, not an olympic or even college sport. If you watch the NFL for reasons other than entertainment (like WWE) then i think you have problems. The "drug" the williams took is a drug that makes you lose water weight - like maybe caffine. Basically, it could be used as a steroid masking agent. Anyway, the NFL's drug policies are a joke. You'd have to be really stupid to fail them (or, in the williams case, have a manufacture lie about contents of pills) if you wanted to use steeler-iods.  (3 hrs ago | post #139)

All employers must follow the laws of the states they operate in. Walmart & target must also follow minnesota law. I'm unclear on how this could be confusing for you. The constitution of the United States says what the federal government may regulate. Find me the football takes precidence over state law clause.  (Sunday Nov 8 | post #137)

Vikes own the superdome. I hope saints win out so we can humiliate them again.  (Sunday Nov 8 | post #6)

*** New packer drinking game***

Had to repost this guy's comment from PFT: Fan_Of_ Four says: McCarthy and Thompson will go down as the two biggest A$$clowns in Packer history. Week by week with every loss more and more of the Packers players have been disgruntled with Packer Management, I can only imagine how they feel now. Anyone care to join me for as new drinking game ? I'll put McCrappy's post game comments on youtube and when ever he says " We will have to get that fixed " everyone takes a drink. Now this won't be a game for amateurs because they have a lot to fix so put on your drinking shoes. http://profootball talk.nbcsports.com /2009/11/08/viking s-bye-resulted-in- three-game-bulge/ That was funny!  (Sunday Nov 8 | post #1)

so stupid no one ever has a weapon in these situations. When did the army become politically correct? there's a reason history has taught you need a homogenious fighting force. Fast tracking some nut job who id's himself as palastinian? nuts. Army shouldn't be about social justice. No homosexuals, no immigrants, no one who most members would not want to turn thier back to. Alexander the great, Ghengis Khan, etc., would never have done anything as stupid as this government & castrate our own fighting force. Homogenious. Everyone else can join americorps or whatever.  (Saturday Nov 7 | post #13)

Illegal? if you have no clue what you are talking about, either research it or be quiet. the only illegal is the NFL ignoring minnesota employment law. The federal courts upheld the minnesota court. basically, you're saying the law of the land doesn't apply. only the NFL can determine the law. Silly arguement.  (Tuesday Nov 3 | post #134)

NFL likes to circumvent anti trust laws by claiming the teams are individual entities & then they want to claim for employer purposes, it's one entity that federal laws handle & the laws of minnesota or any other stated should not apply. The NFL is not above the law, they just think they are.  (Monday Nov 2 | post #132)

well said. plus, packer management chose to draft aaron rather than make another brett run. Another star on that 13-3 team may have helped.  (Monday Nov 2 | post #178)

a-rod has been in the league for 5 years already. you really think he's as tough as brett to stay healthy? The proper comparision is Magic-man.  (Sunday Nov 1 | post #91)

yeah, i don't get all the negativity out of our own viking fans. pretty silly to think the pack could play with us after what happened last time around. Vikes are 7-1. i assume you'll stop picking against them?  (Sunday Nov 1 | post #84)
