re: Q & A With NFLPA’s DeMaurice Smith

Another LINK about this.

Just a couple of highlights:

As of yet, they haven't turned over anything that we would consider to be direct evidence of player involvement in a 'pay-to-injure' scheme that we could consider for discipline."

"It's a very, at least from our perspective, a very unfair situation where you have a number of allegations floating back and forth in the press," Smith told the website. "There certainly appears to be some information that's been provided to the media about certain individuals' involvement and references to everything from emails to Powerpoints. It's difficult for those players to be in a situation where they can hardly defend themselves from unsubstantiated accusations that are being made in the public.

This begs the question...if there is no evidence turned over that the players were involved in a "pay-to-injure", are the suspensions of the front office people unsubstantiated?
