Quote:This isn't news. He got his picture taken drinking grapefruit juice in a legal entertainment establishment.


Goodell makes the decision to reinstate, but he also has to defend his decision. Drinking grapefruit juice at a casino isn't a valid reason. The NFLPA would have a field day on him if he based his decision on that.


Blackmon mingling with the fans and acting responsibly is actually good marketing for the NFL. I'm sure Goodell has zero problems with that. It's not his job to discriminate against players who are engaged in legal activities that comply with NFL policy. That's for idiot fans to do.

Again laying low or out in the public in a questionable establishment? The best option would be to chill the [BLEEP] out in the privacy of your own residence. Its not that hard. At least until you've been reinstated. Something no one has harped on yet is that he hasn't even finished his rehab yet and look where he's at! Questionable judgement has lead to the reason as to why he's currently suspended. He still hasn't learned to make better decisions.
