Obviously some hirer ups think everyone else is just stupid.


Jerry and Daniel could have fought this, looks like some kind of under the table deal was made.

Why not dismiss the Cap penalty? He made Mara happy last year now make Jerry and Dan happy.

..then he needs to vacate the Redskins and Cowboys issues, too.

For the good of the league, they need both teams back in the hunt for ratings on TV if not for dramatic games fans want to see.

Crippling both teams for trying to do what they did in an unstable and whollly deplorable situation duo to unsettled labor contracts is wrong.

Fans of both teams should start an email campaign to the NFL office voicing their unhappiness with the NFL's decisions. Worked for the New Orleans Saints, didn't it..?

First, it was a freaking joke.

Second, with almost 11,000 posts I hardly think I am a troll on this board.

Third, I am not aware of any rules governing avatar selection as long as said avatar is not obscene or vulgar since this is a family site.

Fourth, I am not aware of any other rules that limit the number of threads a member can post in.

Fifth, if you think I am in violation of any rules, feel free to report it.

..you know the rules. I liked your answer.

Agreed..continue to present your case to the jury.

Slowly strumming fingers on the gavel. Clank clank.

I hope the NFLPA hangs them to be truthful. "Spirit of the cap" my collusion hating .

Tacky sig pic BTW. You should know where you are and be respectful.

But the arbitrator did not rule in favor of the NFL. His ruling was he could not hear the case and left open the possibility for the teams fight it through other legal means.

The only means available would be JJ and DS suing the other owners, and opening up a full collusion lawsuit against the 30 other owners. That's not happening. Everything said now will be used against the league at the next CBA negotiations by the NFLPA, so if you think that JJ or DS feels like blowing up their cash cow over a couple years salary cap penalties, you are mistaken. Certainly the Cowboys with only a 5M penalty, and some rollover from last year aren't going to attack the heart of the multi-billion dollar beast, and the Skins having survived the surprise 18M penalty last year, probably have plans to make it work this year as well.

As a Skins fan, yeah, I would like to see Mara get it pushed back in his face and laugh while it's being done, but as an NFL fan, I don't see opening up a huge huge can of worms that could possibly undo the whole collective bargaining process (which winning a collusion suit against the other owners would most certainly do) as a winning solution.

You have to have 12,000 posts in order to be immune to troll accusations, DUH

yeah. I would have loved for us to have taken those SOBs to the cleaners in court which we would have; but as the saying goes the collateral damage would have been massive
