Wow. Goodell is an idiot. This is going to get real ugily.

That is the first legal move in a lot of legal cases. The defense will start out with a motion stating the whole thing is an outrage and they shouldn't even have to show up.

To be honest, as a lawyer, I kind of agree with the NFL here. Not sure how a Court can have jurisdiction over a "forthcoming" arbitration award. I've wondered that since the suit's filing.

I asked Mr. Robinson what this all means. Here's his response:

They filed under the Doctrine of Res Ipsa Locationer.

(picture me saying that in Homer Simpson's voice).

Not really. The Brady case is precedence here. The NFL quickly ran to a management friendly judge in New York before the NFLPA and Brady's legal team could blink. Zeke's lawyers just beat them to the punch.

Also, based on how the meetings were going (all 25 hours worth), they didn't get the warm and fuzzies that HH would rule in Zeke's favor. I don't blame them one bit.

The report even looks unprofessional.

I picture everything you say in a Homer Simpson voice, Kai

They had to use a Word template. You know, with ratings being down and everything. Every penny counts.

DOH!!

Correction: After the NFL report was done AND after the NFL's check cleared.

Its looking worse and worse for the NFL as every day goes by and more and more of the corrupt process is revealed. By the time it actually gets to court Goodell and company might be in Brazil (one of the countries that have no extradition treaties with the US)

Because they are saying the NFL had a conspiracy. It doesn't matter what the arbitrator rules, because the process was decayed. That is what they are saying. And in fact, if the process prior to the arbitrator is decayed, then the arbitrator's decision doesn't matter.

I never believed they could possibly overturn the Dez catch. I've also never seen an illegal attempt at a fake substitution called a penalty. And so on and so on...

Can the NFL pull this miracle off?

For all those that say "why would they not favor the Cowboys" "they're the most popular team" it doesn't makes sense. The Cowboys do very well in sales and ratings regardless of record.

It would be hard for a reasonable person to argue that there weren't many many problems with the NFL's case and suspension against Elliot. Many have pointed to Friel having a severe conflict of interest. That and many other factors are very hard to ignore.
I've never used the word conspiracy. Only bias and hatred of a team. This wreaks of all three of those discriptions.
