Huge legal fight coming?

TXGSP · 05-03-2012, 09:57 AM

The NFLPA has a HUGE stake in the appeals process. The union agreed to the appeals process going through one person.

If the appeal process can "prove" any wrongdoing by the "league" it gives the NLFPA a bit of leverage in getting the appeals process in the CBA changed.

But from a suposed 22-27 player involvement down to a 4 player suspension doesn't really sound like the entire defense embraced and supported the program.

This is what unions are for. One man should not be able to wield this much unchecked power.

Let the fight last all they way into 2017.
Let Vilma sign a statement to counter act Hargroves account,
then let our wonderful court system work through the mess.
According to league sources, none of the players cooperated and only
Hargrove submitted a signed statement which implicated Vilma.
Vilma can submit a statement saying he did not say what Hargrove said he said.
At least, not tit-for-tat or word-for-word like Hargrove said I said it.
Hargrove lied on me man!

Roger Goodell should probably consider wearing body armor during the Super Bowl.

Gators have body armor... Ever watch swamp people?

This will expedite Goodell's eventual resignation in disgrace.

I sure hope so. If he's worried about his legacy he can stop worrying...
