Shotgun snap to RB draw, don't see much risk in that. About as much risk in walking out to the coin toss by himself.
Extra tasty that they are playing the Mara's tonight. Wonder if we will get any shots of the visiting owners booth.
Second the motion. Comments are scathing with very little name calling.Don Buddin's GS said:
Kessler: Felt as if Kraft was really put into a corner and afraid of turning it into an "Al Davis" situation - and had no real options to fall back on with regards to the picks and the fine.

Kudos to the SOSH lawyers who got this right--that despite all the deference to arbitrators, Roger had crossed over into tyranny.
Considering that Doty cited the same language of "own brand of industrial justice" from another case, I would think this really empowers the NFLPA going forward. Kessler has Roger's number, played things beautifully, and I would think at least some owners might recognize Roger is over his head, as someone mentioned.

I know it was just a joke about Bradford getting smashed with a draw out of a shotgun snap.j44thor said:
At this stage it would only be a notice of appeal, not the actual appellate briefs, unless they are seeking a stay.GregHarris said:

Roger Goodell will not attend next Thursday's NFL opener in Foxboro, NFL confirmed. Believes the focus should be on game/festivities.
Well, if Goodell believes it, that should effectively rule out the focus being on the game/festivities.
All true except, to quote Shefter, his job is not in jeopardy. The owners see #DFG as just an annoyance, not a tipping point like Ray Rice could have been.lambeau said:

Hopefully he's biding his time until Mama Corleone dies. Goodall is almost certain to screw something up again soon; who knows what will happen if Hardy appeals. A Kraft will own the team long enough to be needed by Goodell. The knife will always be there for twisting at the opportune time. The only downside right now is Kraft won't be licking his wounds during the next CBA, so he'll be less inclined to side with the PA on somethings (not that he would be too inclined to do so anyways).
Can we put a blow up doll of Rodger in the stands and have it slowly deflate over 4 quarters.
You can do what I'm doing, start on my legal brief suing the NFL for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.djhb20 said:

I'm guessing many local reporters will do this on their own -- certainly it'll happen in Boston and when the Pats are on the road. I'm not sure how they'll get the locker room temps right (maybe just do it in the press box) but isn't this sort of tailor-made for local news teams that need something to talk about?geoduck no quahog said:
This would be rational. But, and I think it's been lost in all this, I believe Walt Anderson reads the rule book and did HIS job before the AFCCG. I believe he measured the PSI in the footballs (as required). I'll bet, even, that every ref did this before games. Whether it matters, the rules call for it, so they did it. I think that's noteworthy.nighthob said:
Of course we are. The fans will have a ball, but the coach -- and therefore the team -- are going to do what he thinks is necessary to win another Super Bowl.Al Zarilla said:
Here is my concern.
Tom plays this season.
The league appeals and eventually wins.
Maybe even after we win another Superbowl.
The league makes the Patriots forfeit the games Tom has played in.
If there is a chance this could happen I wouldn't set foot on the field unless the league agrees to not make them forfeit any games.

And that decision would be struck down by the courts because the NFL has no authority to do such a thing.
You can't punish someone for pursuing valid legal remedies. Even if it were in the CBA/league charter/whatever, illegal clauses in contracts are invalid, plus it would be contrary to public policy.
It's nice that the NFL went after Brady for not being forthcoming with requested documentation and the Patriots for withholding witnesses and they were beaten in court (in part) because they were not forthcoming with requested documentation and withheld a witness. Anything Brady/Pats supposedly did the NFL actually did, even worse.
Reggie's Racquet said:
I have a lot of concerns after reading this post but the above isn't any of them.
A big win for the NFLPA to be sure. But maybe the guy who gave away player rights regarding discipline in the last negotiations, should just shut the fuck up and take a measured approach to his end zone dance. What's the benefit of antagonizing now, if the goal is eventually to collectively arrive a more fair and reasonable process.(Apologies for not be able to imbed quotes from the article. Having Mobil device issues).
