That is complete ****ing crap.

I wonder if there is more to Thurman's issues than we all know about. Seems silly-strict to me.

You need it to be word for word or are you just well on your way to claiming the new SteelerSteve title?

I think everyone but Lambert and that box of rocks in the corner knows this.

I think you will find pretty much everyone said he was out of control but also mentioned perhaps there may be more to it.

Some examples.

Billy Idol : Notice the "I'd Be Interested" bit

What justification could Goodell have had for reducing his mandatory suspension from 4 games to 2? Odell's 2nd offense garnered the full 4 to begin last season- I'd be interested to hear why the Commish isn't being evenhanded.

Ickeywoods aka ME : Notice the "So Either he has done something" Bit

He did the Crime ... he payed the time. He got on the Drugs / Alcohol Abuse course and saw it through without (to our knowledge) going off the rails ? so surely he should be re-instated? So either he has done something which the NFL should announce so we can all understand why he is getting another year or be re-instated.

Just two examples from 2 Bengal Fans, Perhaps Mr Lambert you should read posts in more detail. Otherwise you make yourself look like a bigger fool than most people here already credit you for, which in itself is a huge achievement.

-- Thurman Turns Himself In --
Tue Aug 7, 2007 --from FFMastermind.com

The Cincinnati Bengals official website reports suspended Cincinnati Bengals LB Odell Thurman, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer, is now in an alcohol-treatment program. The paper said Thurman turned himself into Hamilton County to answer allegations he violated his probation for drunk driving.

GayLambert. LOL.

With no word from the NFL or the NFL Players Association, the attorney for Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman has filed a claim of disability discrimination against the NFL. John Michels said Thursday that he has notified the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that he feels his client is being discriminated against because he is perceived as an alcoholic.

Michels said it doesn't matter that Thurman acknowledged in court that he is an alcoholic when he appeared for a DUI stemming from a Sept. 25, 2006 traffic stop. He indicated that Thurman has passed all required programs stipulated by the league.

"He has not had an alcoholic problem since the incident last fall," Michels said.

The NFLPA has not yet responded to Thurman's request to appeal to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's July 26 decision to extend Thurman's year-long suspension for another year. Michels said if the EEOC finds for Thurman, the commission can offer such remedies as reinstatement and back pay.

Michels cited a recent precedent. The EEOC ruled in favor of Roy Tarpley, the former Dalllas Mavericks forward banned in 1995 for violating the league's substance abuse policy. The commission said the NBA violated the Americans with Disabilities Act when it didn't reinstate Tarpley even though he had passed all drug tests taken in the last four years.

Michels said the Bengals are named in the claim only because they are Thurman's direct employers. He said the claim was not a Bengals decision and that the commission is aware that the suspension came from the NFL and not the club.[/b]
