I think you can get off Beastmode. Sounds like it's in Judge Decision Mode for now probably until tomorrow.

@rjonesTP

Thanks.....!!

Judge now turns to NFL: "I have serious jurisdictional concerns about what Mr. Goodell did."

:popcorn:

Beastmode - the Judge is RIPPING the NFL! FTW

sorry but what does FTW mean?

Wish they would list the concerns.

If the judge finds the concerns overwhelming enough from these cases:

Could the current CBA be vacated due to the way it is written?

Interesting turn...basically on the eve of the season.

FOR THE WIN!

IT'S A CAT FIGHT!

@rjonesTP

The tables have turned...Kessler could be finding a new employer if this doesn't go away.

Legal pundits are saying that the Judge is saying the NFL over-stepped their bounds (LEGALLY) on the Appeal. She's saying that Goodell should NEVER have been Judge at the hearing and arbitrator at the Appeal.

THIS IS HUGE FOR ALL THE REST OF ALL THE CASES! Not just this restraining order.

HERE COMES THE NFL'S CLOSING

@SportsLawGuy
@JohnDeShazier

NFL ON THEIR HEALS FIRING BACK DIRECTLY AT THE JUDGE!
Don't think they're WINNING LOL

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

@SportsLawGuy

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!!

HEARING IS ENDED....

Again, Judge said no decision today.

Thanks for the play-by-play Halo, really appreciate it! :bng:

Thanks for thanking me. I'm exhausted and have to get SOME work done today....

So Roger Goodell was remarkably absent?

Could it be due to this...not sure if this is RG in disguise?

'Beast of Brooklyn' washed up in New York

http://global.fncstatic.com/static/m...ter_072612.jpg

Mystery surrounds the discovery of a hideous creature washed up under the Brooklyn Bridge in New York.
Dubbed the "Manhattan monster," its ghoulish carcass has a mutilated face, hairless flesh and five human-like fingers at the end of its limbs. The gruesome find has sparked an array of theories as to whether it is a giant water-logged rodent, a cooked pig, a swollen dog -- or something more sinister.
Amateur photographer Denise Ginley snapped the mutant creature while walking along the East River on Sunday.
“We were horrified by it and we took some camera phone pictures," she said. “Then finally we decided to come back with my camera and I got up the courage to climb over the fence and get closer to it.”
Some claim it could be related to the mystery "Montauk Monster," which confounded New Yorkers when it washed up at Ditch Plains beach in the exclusive Hamptons in July 2008.

HA! That coward would never show for that.

NFL: No Goodell, no 50,000 pages of evidence (not 1 page), not one (1) witness from the NFL at today's hearing.

I believe the NFL dropped their biggest bombs already and hit nothing. All they have left is the CBA bunker to fall back on.
It looks like it might hold but if I were them I would seriously consider a truce right now. It would not surprise me if they are entertaining the idea after today.

Halo, this is why I love this website! I'm at work and I know right where to go for the latest!

Ain't that the truth!:bng:

CourtTV ain't got nuttin on me!

It's TruTV now DOH!

The way the judge was acting towards the NFL towards the end of the hearing, it might have been her way of subtly encouraging them to do just that. It may have been her way of saying, "I'm not going to rule today, and you may not like how I'm going to rule, in fact neither of you may like it, so I'll give you some time to keep talking and work it out amongst yourselves." Would not be the first time a judge has done something like that.

I hope this ends well for Vilma. I would love a ruling in his favor, but if they could work something out, that works too.

Even though this is just for a restraining order to halt the suspension while the lawsuits are going on...its a huge step for not only vilma but the other players. The judge has serious questions about how this has been interpreted and decided upon...meaning althought the NFL is hiding behind the CBA saying that she has no jurisdiction...it is null and void if she finds that the NFL has violated the CBA with its ruling in the first place.
