A good rehab will get through to people more times than not. NFL players and anyone in any job in general, if they have substance abuse issues, should be encouraged to go to rehab not punished for it.
That's my point though. I don't think Goodell is concerned about encouraging players to go to rehab. He concerned with preventing the situation that would lead to a player going to rehab. His role is punitive as opposed to the FO who are in the position to encourage the player.
Except that he's on record for saying that his goal in suspensions is to correct behavior, not punish it. He just sent a really bad message to young men about personal accountability. What a f**king tool.

The NFLPA had better file an appeal on this. It's ridiculous.
And could some people stop pretending that it's a lot worse than Lynch. The current DUI is Lynch's second. Not his first. And, he's already been suspended for a weapons felony, not a misdemeanor. He's also been involved in an altercation with a woman. So, let's just see what they have in store for Lynch and it had better be comparable.

From what I hear, Aldon Smith's settlement lets him be around the team and do meetings. Just can't play in games.

As for lighter punishment for Aldon Smith through an appeal, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email "The appeal process is concluded."

The five games Aldon Smith missed last season while voluntarily seeking assistance for alcohol abuse did not impact his punishment
Yeah, I'm sure that will help the precedent. You get f**ked eitherway.
Ian Rapoport @RapSheet now
Aldon Smith does get to be around the facility for his 9-game suspension, I'm told. That's something the team wanted very b
