Daniel Wallach @WALLACHLEGAL 23m23 minutes ago Same substantive content as its prior court filings, but re-packaged and re-labeled as denials and affirmative defenses
Daniel Wallach @WALLACHLEGAL 23m23 minutes ago Normally, a party that fails to answer by deadline runs risk of a default judgment. But zero possibility of that happening here
Daniel Wallach @WALLACHLEGAL 21m21 minutes ago NFL would have to address counterclaim allegations, line by line, with either "admit," "deny," or "don't know," plus defenses
