The NFL is reviewing videotapes for signs of players making gang signs. You guys watch a lot of fubball; is this a problem? Back to Favre patrol. Read More...

Goodell is all about the league's public image. IMO it serves no purpose letting the media know they are checking for this except to improve/maintain a positive public perception. ***And whats this about Favre? I have been locked in a closet for the past 3 weeks. Seriously though, I love Favre, but time to go away old man.

If you watch any MTV you know the signs and I think its one of the right things for the NFL to eliminate. Maybe they could train the Ref's to all the gang signs and call a 15 yard penalty for any infraction. The Ref would throw the flag show the sign the player made then which gang it was associated to then walk off the 15 yards. onlydarksets 07-17-2008, 01:19 PM How about you invite a member from each gang to stand on the sidelines (don't let them see each other, of course). That should have a chilling effect.

For instance, this might look like a gang sign to someone who doesn't know any better: http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/1736509.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF1939057D9939C83F1066F7A9834830D95CD 5A5397277B4DC33E But it's actually a gesture for McNair's college fraternity.
