The NFL Players Associate has filed a complaint with the New England Patriots, who apparently did not allow Super Bowl hero CB Malcolm Butler to practice during OTAs due to being late the first practice over a flight cancellation.
Seems a pretty unreasonable punishment to me by the Patriots...

lol you want to complain about NFL.com posting "breaking news" and then you do a very similar thing with a story that is almost a month old.
Pretty unreasonable punishment? This is nothing new. He was late and wasnt allowed to participate in team drills, was allowed to participate in everything else.
You keep wasting your time looking for new stories.

The NFL PA has a duty to assist players in any possible violation, however like the majority of complaints they file this one has no merit too it. Butler himself did not file any complaint or cooperate with the NFL PA.

I am sure that this is a bigger deal too you then teams who actually violate OTA rules, like have full contact drills for example(Cowboys, Seahawks, Ravens, Lions, Bucs, and Jaguars. Just to name almost 20 percent of the league that has been caught violating OTA rules).
But the Pats are big time cheaters. They have been found taping signals one game after Goodell banned the legal practice of taping signals. And it is more probable than not that they had knowledge of balls being deflated.
Of course this doesnt even come close to comparing to half of your team doping on steroids for a decade(yep in this case I am sure "everyone was doing it") or your coach more probably than not intentionally trip a player in the middle of a play(of course in this case there isnt definitive evidence), or your QB at the very least knowingly party of underage girls(and more probably than not participate in disgusting acts against them).

Wow. It is amazing how a simple jest can get under your skin so much. This wasn't directed at you you know...

Got it, it is was just another pointless jab at the Patriots who I obviously do not care about at all. Just to let you know none of my jabs against the Steelers or Ben are directed at you, just towards the Steelers...

Steroids wasn't illegal and he didn't actually trip him

As a fan who has no skin in the game:
- The pats shouldn't do that. If it's a flight cancellation, there's nothing he can do. - I cannot believe Mike Tomlin is allowed to coach in the NFL after trying to trip Jacoby Jones. - Suspending brady for deflategate is a bit over the top. Fining the draft picks is even worse. Fire the equipment guys and suspend / fire Billicheck. - I didn't know about what Patsk1d said about only continuing spygate 1 day after the rule change, but I honestly think that's something you shouldn't be able to get away with even if it's not a written rule. I've got no problem with suspensions, fines, and suspicion over that. I never support taking away draft picks since you hurt the kids and the fans. - DUI's always get underpunished. TJ Houzmandzadeh killed a man behind the wheel and spent less than 6 months in prison. Bell should get a year, and Blount too if it's as bad, although I don't know enough to say on that case. -What Patskid said about the NFLPA is true, but it's a weak deflection to the fact that the Pats are in the wrong on that penalty.

It's Bill Belicheat. Do we expect anything less scumbaggy from him? I honestly can't wait for the Patriots to suck. Just so all the cockroaches that make up 99.99999999999999% of their fanbase goes away.
