The NFL sent a memo Wednesday to all 32 teams warning of fines, suspensions and loss of draft picks if the league determines players faked injuries during a game. In the memo obtained by The Associated Press, the NFL reminded teams of league policy that calls on coaches to discourage the practice, and that there was no specific rule on the topic. However, two days after there was speculation the Giants’ Deon Grant faked an injury against the Rams during the Monday night game, the NFL is warning of disciplinary action. Source: Associated Press
How the heck are you going to enforce this Goodell? There's no way in hell you can "prove" someone is faking an injury.
You can prove that the Giants were faking an injury. You can't prove if player A is faking an injury if he's at the bottom of a pile of 18 300 pound men. Goofdell up to no good again.
Alright I am not saying the Giants weren't faking that injury or anything but you can randomly cramp up like that and just fall down especially with how there hasn't been a really long training camp and therefore aren't conditioned to game speed.
Yea that happens. So what? I don't see how this applies to anything. The Giants blatantly faked their crap to slow the game down.
Yes it does happen but when you're absolutely fine and not just 1 but 2 players fall simultaneously then that's just really bad acting in the giants part
In the first freaking quarter? Unless that stadium was 120 Farenheit with blazing sunshine and/or they hadn't consumed any fluid all day long, the chances of that occurring to two players on the same play is ridiculously minuscule, especially with their warm-ups/training regimes.
This whole faking injurys thing has made the giants pass the cowboys on my list of teams i hate in our division
I'm honored........... You guys act like this was the first time it's ever been done in the history of mankind. Just because it was on national TV.
No. It's the first time its been done so blatantly and so blatantly bad. The Eagles did it back in the 80's with Buddy Ryan, it's happened many times since. Hence one of the reasons for the 10 second runoff rules. Just never so bad...:laughy32:
I've always liked the NFL for the fact we don't see the diving and falling over and amateur dramatics compared to soccer, so to see that faking of injury on Monday night was disappointing. I'm sure during the history of the NFL there have been occasions where an injury was there, but not as bad as it might have been made to look, to use it to take a 'breather', but to see an out and out faking, and the laughable attempt by two players to do it was sad indeed.
