The "No Fun League" Goes Dry

The Commish is taking things to a whole new level, one that is analogous to smashing a gnat with a sledgehammer.  Prohibiting cold beer on an NFL flight or at a team function is absolutely absurd.  As tragic as Josh Hancock's death unquestionably was, and as repulsive as Adam Jones' behavior certainly is, none of their misdeeds are reported to have resulted in any way from the ingestion of alcohol on a team flight or at a team function.  Hancock reportedly spent several hours at a restaurant and bar the night of his death, and Jones, well, he's tossed Benjamins around in every strip club from Raleigh to Portland.  No one from the League will complain publicly, I imagine, because clearly it is a politically incorrect position to take, but I for one find this to be an abuse of power that will solve nothing.

They will ban over-the-counter drugs....because everyone knows that using these products just escalates to illegal drug use.
We can be critical of the draft picks, but in the end we always support the new Texan.

heh
children's tylenol - the ultimate gateway drug.

Yeah, this is just stupid.  Sorry, but unless these guys are making it rain in the locker room, this ain't where they are getting effed up.  Ditto for baseball players.  Having a couple of drinks in the locker room after the game is good for team cohesiveness, though.

Does this mean...
no more spraying champagne after an important victory??

Dunno...
The last important victory we had was in the franchise opener.
