Eli Manning is the fucking truth.

Flipping like an asshole is dangerous. Why are they glorifying dangerous plays? The other plays are more impressive.

League: Two 'bounty' hearings set for May 16, 30

Peter Ginsberg, the lawyer for Jonathan Vilma, says he still has yet to receive a single piece of evidence from Commissioner Roger Goodell that proves the New Orleans Saints linebacker participated in the team's "bounty" program.

Appearing on PFT Live on Friday, Ginsberg also stated two "bounty"-related grievances filed this month are set to be heard on May 16 and May 30.

NFL.com's Steve Wyche reported Saturday the league has officially confirmed the hearing dates. So what does this mean?

• The grievance set to be heard May 16 centers on the argument that the new collective bargaining agreement forbids the NFL from penalizing players for conduct prior to August 4, 2011. The grievance also argues Ted Cottrell or Art Shell, who are employed by the NFL Players Association and the league, should hear appeals stemming from incidents of on-field discipline -- not Commissioner Roger Goodell.

• Ginsberg cited May 30 for the second hearing, set up to addresses punishments around additional "bounty" money distributed to players in violation of the salary cap. The argument here is that NFL special master Stephen Burbank should rule on these issues and not, again, the commissioner.

Vilma, suspended by the NFL for the 2012 season, plans to appeal his punishment. The remaining trio of suspended players -- Anthony Hargrove (currently with the Green Bay Packers), Will Smith (still with the Saints) and Scott Fujita (currently with the Cleveland Browns) -- have reserved the right to file an appeal.

Mary Jo White, a former U.S. Attorney hired by the league to review the bounty investigation, told Wyche the league was "solid" in terms of evidence, saying she had secured criminal convictions with less.

Ginsberg, however, has not gone silent in his request to see evidence from the NFL. As we delve deeper into the case, this is the drum he continues to beat.

Wes Welker prepared to accept the franchise tag for the Pats for $9.5 million but did admit he wants a long term deal after next season.

The fact that yesterday was Mother's Day

But why to Leasean Mccoy smartass

McCoy said something about him last season, they had a little back and forth, and he hasn't let it go.

McCoy called the Giants' defense soft originally.

Winning the SB should have probably been enough to quiet him down

Osi doesn't really learn when to shut up.

Meanwhile, the Jaguars: "We'll do it! Ohpleaseohpleaseohplease." HBO pretends not to notice.

Yeah, because the whole nation wants to watch a team do nothing. Especially when their best player refuses to practice because he wants a new contract. Hard knocks can fuck off. Better yet, ask the Browns if they're down.

They'll be back in Cincy...ugh FFS

Ravens should do it again.

Vilma will win his court battle..

Should've been Rams-Jags that year. :(

Wouldn't go that far in making it a Top 10 ever SB but the final play easily is.

Dolphins confirmed for Hard Knocks. I can live with that

Hakeem the Dream Nicks tells Coughlin he'll be in training camp. Winners get to do what they want.

No, if they had, then the Jags or Browns would be doing Hard Knocks. :(

Finishing 2nd in the division kind of is, but considering who the two teams who finished worse were....yea.

I am not very optimistic about this season given their schedule but I could be wrong

Pumped for the season to get rolling. Might sound odd but I'm excited to see what the Giants do with certain positions (namely LB, WR depth, and RB.) Could easily see things going either way.

LOL, T.O. has been cut, by an IFL team. That has to sting a bit!
