Bryant not allowed to practice until full reinstated. No timetable from Goodick

The Steelers FO needs to step up here.
Jerry Jones or Robert Kraft would be calling Goodell out.
There must be something else going on here.
C'mon Deuce, time to elevate the discussion and get this done .
 
The Steelers were informed by the NFL that Bryant still has a couple of hoops to jump through as part of his conditional reinstatement by the NFL for violation of the substance abuse policy.

Because of that, he could report Thursday. He can even sit in on meetings. He just can’t practice at this time.

While nobody is certain about the time frame for when Bryant, who was suspended for all of last season, will be cleared by the league, it’s expected to be a reasonably quick happening - at least by league standards.

This was not, however, any kind of off-field setback for Bryant.

This is pretty ******* stupid.

Why on earth do the Steelers and Bryant not know about this until ******* Thursday?

And Roger wonders why fans are falling away from the NFL at record numbers. Rigged much Roger?

Do they just make **** up as they go? Did he **** Rogers sister or something? The next player strike coming in a few years will be epic.

The Rog has been making it up as he goes since he became the Comish.
 
I called the NFL number. A woman answered and when I asked what the NFL's official position was on Byrant's suspension and what steps he needed to take to be reinstated she said it wasn't her department and that she needed to transfer me to Public Relations. I asked her to transfer me to the people who would know that answer, she said that would be Public Relations. I said "fine". She transferred me to a voicemail that wanted me to "leave my opinion about the NFL and a number so they could get back to me about the great job they're doing."

I told them the expected the NFL to come up with a statement about why Bryant and the Steelers had no idea until Thursday that he wasn't reinstated and I explained that it was this kind of back-stabbing, cloak and dagger crap that was leading to fans abandoning ship on the NFL as we begin to feel the product is tampered with.

Yes he was but the big difference is that Vick wasn't a Steeler! Bryant is and Goodell is a lifelong Browns fan so you can see the favoritism! Donte Stallworth was re-instated and he killed a guy!
 
Prime example of why todays NFL sucks.

Jones behavior goes nearly unpunished while Bryant sits out over a year. ******* ridiculous.
