Amazing how different it is when Goodell isn't Judge and Jury.

NFL-Vilma's witnesses today were irrelevant. Court has no power to decide case on merits, so their opinion on existence of bounty irrelevant

"Professor Burbank" - no wonder he made the decisions he made.

As a Professor he "lives" in a theoretical world.

Not an instult to higher education, but there are some professors I wouldn't let make a decision about the color shirt I should wear tomorrow.

NFL-Vilma could have called today's witnesses at appeal before RG. Because chose not to,failed to exhaust remedies &case should be dismissed

NFL also arguing that Norris LGA prevents court from granting injunction here (as NFL writers have lockout PTSD flashbacks)

NFL hammering point that Vilma didn't present witnesses at appeal and arbitration and appeal process is collectively bargained

Summing up part of NFL argument- judge may disagree with commish's decison&process,but as matter of law,she doesn't have power to change it

After NFL closing arguments...

Judge again suggests that this seems like something that commish perhaps didn't have jurisdiction to hear, "but maybe I can't get to that"

GINSBURG BACK UP

Vilma's lawyer back up, repeating argument that RG violated CBA and abused his powers.

Ginsberg: Even if judge can't rule that Goodell was wrong, he did get it wrong. There has to be some kind of legal remedy

HEARING IS ENDED....

Again, Judge said no decision today.
