Very slick move by his lawyer.

Yep, Goodell is probably thinking...

"Holy crap!!! I may have stepped in it big time."

Hopefully the court will award Vilma $5 Million of Goodell's money.

It will be far more detailed than the paragraph appearing above, and it likely will consist of an effort to dismiss the case, possibly under the argument that the labor agreement supersedes the litigation process, forcing Vilma to file a grievance under the CBA.

Hey Florio,

As a former lawyer you should know (if you read the lawsuit documents) that this is mono-y-mono, Vilma v. Goodell under "personal jurisdiction." At NO time does the lawsuit name the NFL!!!!

No NFL = NO CBA
