Thank you, that was a terrific breakdown & now that I'm fully up to speed, I'm more confused than ever, LOL!
What I mean is this makes no sence if you use the old rules then why the $&!? did they slap him with 10 Games????? Now I see why people are thinking conspiracy &/or that the 10 games were in hope of making sure his appeal still gets him like 6 games. I guess I'm just baffled! I realize the "Commish" is grasping at straws but I have a hard time believing that he can take a strong stance with the conduct policy, which he did but if Hardy's (Infraction) you know the one that has been dismissed in the court of public opinion, occurred during the "Old" conduct policy, how does that freakin merit a 10 game suspension?????
The NFLs argument is that under the old rules there was no maximum punishment and that given the multiple instances of violence alleged in this case, that they felt 10 games was appropriate. It was obvious and clear ******** to make it sound like regardless of the law, they were going to put a better face on their response, but they are absolutely grasping at straws.
It's funny with how far they went out of the realm of sensibility.
I absolutely think they thought they could win this in arbitration and settle, especially given the timing of the NFL season.
