Shanahan is in a tough spot because I feel that his office isn't truly independent but is instead subject to, as you say, "the demands of the owners and general managers." <br /><br />I think that's the only rational way to explain the Weber decision.LDvSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1144101161300155170.post-36551944372313227742012-07-07T19:27:03.171-04:002012-07-07T19:27:03.171-04:00I agree that consistency in application is needed....I agree that consistency in application is needed. However, part of the problem is that the rules by which he governs are often evolving based upon the demands of the owners and general managers.

Regardless of whether this is a common law or civil law type of system, consistency of application is necessary. <br /><br />The only way players will know what is allowed and what isn't are Shanahan's decisions and his interpretation of the rules and if those interpretations aren't consistent, then there is a big problem.LDvSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1144101161300155170.post-15308047620556625412012-07-05T19:47:48.899-04:002012-07-05T19:47:48.899-04:00Nice write up.
