Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

A lot of note-passing going on within NFL legal team

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Judge-"this makes me crazy because I don't think this was fair." BUT (big but), she adds, " maybe I can't get to that.

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Now she's making me nervous.....

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Gabe Feldman@SportsLawGuyJudge recognizes serious question about whether she has power to do anything here. But she clearly would like to.

Not looking good

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Berrigan: "You've made me feel powerless eloquently on an number of occasions." Levy steps down. Kessler is back up.

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Ive been saying this for a while... Fair and whats in the Collective bargaining Agreement are not in the same ball park... The problem is that the CBA is a legal document.

BLAH, we doing it better! :itsgood::D

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Hey Kessler sit down and shut up

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

"Kessler now back up. Arguing why this falls under Article 14 of CBA (pay for performance) and thus must be heard by system arb "

"I can't use enough superlatives to describe Jeffrey Kessler. He's something else. Almost has more arguments than he knows what to do with" <--- Kessler has to be from Abbeville or new Iberia

"Kessler- commish can't simply declare everything conduct detrimental and discipline for it. "

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

I got this bad feeling that even if the judge rules in favor of players, NFL will just appeal that ruling and all will be back in court next week .... this will never end

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Judge has wondered aloud several times whether she can offer Vilma and players relief ..



She feels for Vilma and "wants to help"... Emotionally tied..

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Ryan Jones@rjonesTPKessler: "I have just a few more points, your honor..."

SO

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Kessler: "I have just a few more points, your honor..."





Of course you do LOL... Why wouldnt you?!

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Kessler back up for rebuttal. He's so loud he is doesn't need a mic

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Kessler- NFL had absolute obligation to turn over all evidence.Mocking idea that NFL can have 1000 pages of evidence and show players none.

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Good ole lawyer trick, when you loosing start yelling .... what a tool

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Remember, the Judge says she’ll rule for Vilma, if she can find a way to legally do it

She's trying to find a legal reason to do it. This is where Vilma's team needs to seriously STEP UP

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Kessler down. Ginsberg up for closing remarks

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Time for Ginsberg to Finish Strong

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Judge actually chuckled when Kessler suggested league seems to think they could compile evidence and not turn it over to players

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

You know you suck when the judge is laughing at you

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

lots more media this time. Does feel like 2-minuteI offense from Vilma, defense from NFL

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Here's a comment on ProFootballTalk from an idiot _will tick you off_ with a live stream on the hearings...
Shows how ignorant NFL fans really are:

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Ginsberg said Vilma's career in jeopardy, reputation has been compromised

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Halo, to answer the idiot, IDK its football, the other team should be trying to knock out the Saints best player just like I'd expect the Saints D to be trying to rip the QB's head off every chance they get

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Most people don't want to know the truth.
They just want the Saints to suffer.

YOU SCARED BRO?

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

I loved the hit on Brady last night and would hope the D does that at least 50 times this year

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Ginsberg-Vilma learned of susp from ESPN.Can't be proper procedure. (Not clear if he's suggesting different network should've had scoop)

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Ginsberg, always heavy on the emotional arguments, says the case isn't about football. It's about Vilma's career and reputation.

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

My daughter had worse ankle injuries as a high school and college cheerleader - pansie a$$es

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Did Ginsberg slam his fist down after that comment

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Kessler was thundering, Ginsberg now making emotional plea for fairness for Vilma to protect him from abuse of process

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Ginsberg: This is an "abomination of justice" harming "a person so decent." We can't allow this to happen

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

This is America .....

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Ginsberg done. About to rule


Drum Roll......

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Come on ...... baby needs some new shoes

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

:popcorn:

Re: 9 A.M. Vilma Hearing
 

Judge again questions whether she can do anything before Aug. 30 hearing



NFL may have been quiet because they didnt need much.. They seem confident in what they have
