Goodell recuses himself from bounty appeal hearing

10-19-2012, 03:55 PM

The NFL wants to be able to tell the judge that Roger wasn't involved.

See, Judge, we did what the players wanted and brought in someone else.

That's it. That's all. As soon as Tags upholds Roger's silliness (remember Tags trained Roger) the next move will be on the Judge. Pure manipulation by the NFL as they continue to attempt to protect Cerullo - because that's the end game. If he's ever made available, the whole thing falls like a house of cards. Every player in this game knows this.

For those who think Tags will rubber stamp Goodell, forget it. Known him more than 25 years. No longer works for owners. His own man.

I thought that was interesting when I saw it.....

Oh boy, the pendulum swings a little bit more in our direction!! First the news about Reggie White's pay for performance program being allowed and then the Vikings "whistleblower" flat-out calling Goodell a liar... The house of cards is falling Roger!

Did RG actually "recuse" himself, or was he "recused" by the owners?

ChrisXVI · 10-19-2012, 04:28 PM

Either way is fine with me. But if he was recused by the owners then it makes me think the owners are a little fed up with Goodell bungling this whole thing.

This is exactly what I suspected the minute I heard it. Don't think that Kennedy's accusations of lying didn't have anything to do with it.

I think they are a LOT fed up with his bungling.

When is this hearing?

TXGSP · 10-19-2012, 05:18 PM

At this point Tags could reverse the decision to make Williams & Cerello available for the appeal...should be an interesting time between now and the appeal.

If that decision is not reversed, the process is still flawed and could still play out in the courtroom.

Still doesn't have any effect on the defamation lawsuit
