[quote=SBXVII;838404]Not that you guys might care or have not heard but NFL Network basically said they contacted the league and unless it can be proven a player is faking injury nothing can be done.

So..... I thought it would be interesting if every team the Giants play from here on out has someone faint or fall out with muscle cramps on every play. Especially if they are moving the ball well.[/quote]

I'm surprised the Giants didn't put Devin Thomas ( I know he plays offense) as the faker. Doesn't he aspire to be an actor :)

On the fake injury incident. I wonder if it is feasible under the new CBA to have a league "medical referee" on each sideline. Basically the MR would certify roster health before and after the game, and conduct an onspot triage analysis when players are injured in game. I don't think penalties could be called in game, but the league could have a system of warning, fines and other penalties if a pattern of deceit is found.

Just heard a rumor that he signed up for acting classes so he can be even more convincing next time.
