NFL: Miami Dolphins’ Mike Pouncey will have to be checked for psychological issues...

[DKphin]

...before playing

You have got to be kidding! Anyway, here is the aritcle:

ORLANDO —

The immediate future of the Dolphins’ Pro Bowl center, Mike Pouncey, is now in the hands of mental-health professionals.
Commissioner Roger Goodell announced Monday that “the three players” cited for harassment in Miami’s locker room — Pouncey and former Dolphins offensive linemen Richie Incognito and John Jerry — cannot play until they are evaluated by “a group” of professionals for medical and psychological issues.
“Depending on what the doctors prescribe for that, that could prevent them from being around football for some period of time,” Goodell said at the annual owners’ meetings. “But that’s a medical decision.”

Oh God- how stupid.

Good, maybe Richie will get the help he needs.....

What about a psych test for Ray Rice? Oh wait the NFL doesn't care about wife beating

What about "evaluating" the drug-addled suicidal tightly-wound mama's boy before being permitted to play for SF? Didn't he do his fair share of pranking/bullying himself? IMO of that entire cast of characters, that snake represents the greatest potential danger to his co-workers by going postal. C'mon now, let's get real!

Blah blah blah.

NFL covering it's ass in the event of a lawsuit.

Nothing to see here move along.

Why not require a psychological evaluation as a result of aberrant behavior as it might uncover some treatable mental condition. The evaluation alone may help them (and others) realize the impact of their actions and possibly help prevent them from doing something even worse in the future.
If the NFL is going to require medical evaluations for possible concussions then testing for psychotic tendencies when evident seems quite reasonable.

Biggest bunch of bs I ever heard, Martin sure, Cogs definitely, but Pouncey...laughable.

 

[hoops]

roger goodell sucks

roger goodell sucks

Just wait to we see the new code of conduct and so forth..

 

[JCfinfan]

That may be the most foolish thing I ever heard. I think Martin is the one that needs checked.

This is getting out of hand. Pouncey should sue the NFL for discrimination. I dont see any other NFL players in worse situations needing psychiatric evaluations! At this point Pouncey and Jerry for that matter are clearly being singled out...SUE SUE SUE

 

[PPPP]

Not concerned. Pounced will pass whatever test they give, so it's fine by me.

What text are they going to give the owner of the colts?

Ozzy rules!!
