MLS, however, seems to have an issue with that.<BR/><BR/>The NFL also punishes teams when they don't report incident or give out something they find out to be false.<BR/><BR/>Like when Mike Shanahan told a sideline reporter his quarterback would miss the rest of the game at halftime only to have that same quarterback start the third quarter. Or when the Patriots didn't report one time when one of their players didn't practice.<BR/><BR/>I don't think MLS has ever come down on teams for not being upfront with their injury report and that's why they are useless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-88614310104918185982008-04-17T12:52:00.000-07:002008-04-17T12:52:00.000-07:00I was about to say the same thing anonymous, the N...I was about to say the same thing anonymous, the NFL injury report might be very detailed but there's no governing body that makes sure they're accurate. <BR/><BR/>Plus when you use terms like "Probable", or "unlikley" to describe a players chances of playing there's no real way to prove a team is lying even if everyone thinks they are (like the brady incident).kevin n.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07994270180787499885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-55330812979035639212008-04-17T11:33:00.000-07:002008-04-17T11:33:00.000-07:00Don't be fooled, the NFL injury reports aren't tha...Don't be fooled, the NFL injury reports aren't that accurate. If you look at the Patriots report from that same week, you'll notice that Tom Brady is "probable" with a shoulder injury. The problem is that he's been "probable" with a shoulder injury for at least two years. At this point it's a joke to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
