yeah, alexonfyre cleared it up for me in another thread, that even though no one may have actually been injured, it could be considered "being convicted of conspiracy to commit a crime...which usually carries the same penalties as the crime itself...", which I didn't know exactly how much of the civilian courts/law are allowed into professional sports or the NFL, so I understand, but I still got a headache.
More and more, I think they're going to work the "non-contractual bonus payments" angle ... sort of how when they couldn't get anything concrete on Al Capone, they went after him for income tax evasion.
