[QUOTE="big3, post: 70303, member: 189"] This is not a joke!!!!! Apparently some unnamed (sissy) players filed a grievance with the NFLPA against the Lion's for excessive hitting during the minicamp. Some of these powder puff players apparently can't take the new coaching staffs agressive practices. I hope Marinelli finds out who it is so he can get rid of them. Grievance will cost Marinelli OTA sessions Lions player file grievance against excessive hitting by Mike Fowler ALLEN PARK - The NFL Players association today announced that the Detroit Lions will lose two days of OTA workouts due to a violation of the NFL's collective bargaining agreement's rule on off-season workouts. According to release received from the Players Association the Lions and the NFL's Management Council agreed to the penalties as a result of excessive hitting during last week's closed minicamp session. The release reads in part: "As a result, the Lions will forfeit two days of their off-season program (Monday and Tuesday, May 8-9). Lions’ players are not permitted to be at the facility on those two days, but will be paid for the sessions. The Club’s off-season workouts will resume on Thursday, May 11." A press release issued by the NFLPA outlines the league's offseason workout rules and clearly states that "contact work is prohibited in all workouts and cites "'live'" blocking, tackling, pass rushing, bump-and-run" activity off limits. The release further states that the "tempo of drills should be at a level conducive to learning, with player safety as the highest priority." Detroit is currently holding a three-day rookie and first year veteran minicamp at their Allen Park Headquarters which will wrap up on Sunday afternoon. [/QUOTE]
