Vilma in court right now - Restraining Order Hearing - Live Updates

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

@SportsLawGuy

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

Ashley · 07-26-2012, 05:12 PM

Please Mother of Jobu ..... Let this blow up in the NFL's face.

"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.

OMG...so thats what they are going with? Slamming the Judge?? LOL..I hope she overturns it just in spite!!

@rjonesTP

Kessler tears off a note and hurries up to Ginsberg. Real-time legal strategizing.

NFL BROKEN RECORD DEFENSE:

@SportsLawGuy

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

@rjonesTP

Levy: There was never an effort made to contact witnesses to testify in front of Goodell

@SportsLawGuy

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

PTSD = Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - comment from the Tulane Law Professor.

@JohnDeShazier

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

@SportsLawGuy

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

Halo · 07-26-2012, 05:31 PM

After NFL closing arguments...

@SportsLawGuy

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"

Halo · 07-26-2012, 05:38 PM

GINSBURG BACK UP

@SportsLawGuy

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

@rjonesTP

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

Halo · 07-26-2012, 05:41 PM

HEARING IS ENDED....

Again, Judge said no decision today.
