[jobberone]

That works.

 

[Daillest88]

Hopefully not until February

 

[Don Corleone]

LMAO. This is awesome and so well planned...

 

[Sydla]

LOL. I would love if this was more a Cowboys ploy to shove it up the butt of the league office.

 

[DogFace]

Outsmarted the evil NFL office. For the time being. Nice

I suspect it was 100% planned.

Somewhere Mara is stewing. He's on his walkie-talkie as we speak.

Would a delay be inevitable since the new representative needs time to review the facts of his appeal?

Yes. Here's to hoping they delay until Mid February!

Shenanigans.

Speculation: Jerry is behind this. Three cheers for Jerry:

1. Hip hip - hooray!
2. Hip hip - hooray!
3. Hip hip - hooray!

I really wish we could all just quit with this argument. Does anyone really think Jerry would allow a situation to exist where the owner of a division rival was pulling strings behind the scenes to screw the Cowboys and let the Giants skate on things? It's a ridiculous conspiracy theory that just doesn't hold water. Goodall and Mara would be facing jail time if they were conspiring to commit fraud and collusion against another team. It simply isn't happening.

I would say yes. The new rep certainly should ask for a delay to study the facts and prepare his defense. If not granted, I would think an immediate injunction barring the implementation of discipline would be fairly easy to get from a judge sympathetic to labor.

That quote is probably out of context. I doubt Jerry was referring to gaming the system. He was likely referring to getting Gregory straightened out so these issues are behind him.

Somewhere, Mara's screaming ... "Nooooooooooooooooooo!"

It's not really a conspiracy theory at all.

Remember when the Cowboys and Commanders got penalized for apparently violating cap rules in a year when there were no cap rules? It was Mara who pushed for the punishment and Goodell obliged. Don't you find it a bit odd that after the league has taken a hard stance on domestic punishment and sometimes overreacted for PR reasons, they just hand down a random one game suspension to Josh Brown?

I think you are naïve if you don't believe there are factions within the league office and even among owners that result in some favoritism being played at times.
