The first big suspension handed out in professional football occurred way back in 1925. Art Folz was the quarterback for the Chicago Cardinals when he orchestrated a hilarious plan to stack an opposing team with high school players in order to get an easy win and challenge for the 1925 Championship. He was given a lifetime ban that was later overturned. Folz decided to retire nonetheless.Suspensions were a rare thing compared to today. In 1947 Rock Ya-Sin Jersey , Frank Filchock and Merle Hapes were given lifetime bans from their role in trying to fix the 1946 NFL Championship Game. Alex Karras and Paul Hornung were also given one-year suspensions for gambling on sports.It wasn’t until the early 80s that we began to see a noticeable increase in suspensions. Player conduct was being closely monitored and the NFL was coming down harder on offending players. Then, in 1988, the NFL began its battle with a growing steroid epidemic. No less than 15 players were suspended for testing positive for steroids prior to the 1988 season. Many more were suspended through 1989 and 1990. The list of banned substances grew and so did the number of suspensions.Suspensions aren’t just limited to players. Owners, coaches http://www.coltsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-ben-banogu-jersey , and even referees have been suspended for various reasons. The longest suspension given to an owner was a one-year banishment that Edward J. DeBartolo Jr. received for his involvement in a corruption and gambling licensing case.Here is a list of recently banned NFLers and what they're doing now. A familiar name to New York Giants fans will be returning to coach New York football.Jay Glazer of FOX is “hearing” that former Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride will coach the XFL’s New York team. Like the Giants (and the Jets) the New York XFL franchise will play at MetLife Stadium. This report meshes with the fact that (as PFT has been told) Gilbride attended the first wave of Spring League games in Texas, with other XFL coaches.The 67-year-old Gilbride served as head coach of the Chargers from 1997-98. He has worked as offensive coordinator for the Oilers, Steelers, Jaguars Khari Willis Jersey , and Bills. For both of the Giants’ Super Bowl wins with Eli Manning as the quarterback and Tom Coughlin as the coach, Gilbride ran the offense.Working as an analyst, Gilbride also provided one of the most memorable moments from the afternoon show that aired on NBCSN.The XFL had planned to name all eight head coaches by the end of March. Officially, four have been named: Bob Stoops in Dallas Josh Allen Jersey , Pep Hamilton in D.C., Jim Zorn in Seattle, and Marc Trestman in Tampa. Gilbride has not yet officially been named; no coaches have been named or reported for teams to be located in Houston, St. Louis Parris Campbell Jersey , or L.A.
