Not getting my hopes up at all. I am actually stunned that it has even gone this far. It's now more than a nuisance to Roger. They have to deal with this situation. It is now out of hand and everyday the scale is tipping in Vilma's favor.

Look, if the NFL thinks they will EVER walk out of this untouched, they're wrong.
If this goes to court, which I think the judge will do it, the discovery process alone will screw them.

Roger and the NFL's motives TODAY were exposed. The NFL admitted players are "prejudged."

Why should a player EVER go up to New York to walk into the commissioners office?

I feel emotionally drained after 1:45 minutes of following a court room debate.

Reminds me of the Saturday night "where are we going to dinner" discussion at my house.

Ryan Jones@rjonesTPVilma told me that he wasn't surprised when the judge said she wanted to rule in his favor. Said he was fine with no ruling.

Waiting for an epic Vilma tweet!

The judge like nearly all of us is emotionally tied to this case. She may not be a football fan but clearly she feels there was some "unfair" practices... Her hard spot is that "unfair" is not a legal precedent to rule on....

She also knows that if she rules to quickly (much like Goodell) she risks an appellate court saying that all of the options in the NFL appeals process have not been exhausted, and over turning her decision...

Judges DO NOT like their rulings overturned... Thats like a lost fumble.

I would look for a settlement with in the next week.... Both sides were hoping for a battle flag today and neither have one. They both want it gone.

It seems that except for the impending season that time favors Vilma's case. At least in the eye of public opinion. There'll be a slow news day and the mainstream media'll latch onto the case. It'll be hard for the kommisar to look good in this kind of light without bringing in Gayle Sayers or someone to speak up in his behalf. Unless rg puts out a gag order to the networks that is...
