And then Tagliabue reached his highest level of pedantry and pretension with, "If the league wishes to suspend a player for pre-game talk including 'offers' to incentivize misconduct, it must start by imposing enhanced discipline for illegal hits that involved the kind of player misconduct that it desires to interdict."
Tagliabue's decision and his supporting opinion are the latest installment in one of the most bizarre chapters in the history of a league that has thrived with heroic players, solid leadership and lucrative television contracts, and now finds itself watching its former commissioner snipe at its current commissioner on a discipline case that should have been easy.
