          Heh. What problems could Roger have? Pulls down millions every year, in a job far removed from work like hogging out sewage lines, has a face devoid of a big nose or zits or droopy ears etc. (vital in today's image-driven culture), has a fine speaking voice.

          Mr. Roger is sitting on the top of the world.
          Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.

He said he'd read the entire report as well and the union's rebuttal as was being asked about what happened next. He's the guy who said that the CBA included a provision that allowed a member to take a case to District Court if they weren't satisfied with the appeal verdict.

            Remember, that's what happend in the Vilma case, except in reverse.

            Vilma took his year long suspension to appeal, an arbitrator over-turned it and then GOODELL took it to district court, where the arbitrator was upheld.

            Now, if you want to prove Allan Walsh, and by association me, wrong on this point, then be my guest, but I doubt the union would EVER sign a CBA that said Goodell was God and his word was final on every subject.
            There's no language in the CBA that I can find that gives a direct right to appeal to the district court. (https://nfllabor.files.wordpress.com...-2011-2020.pdf) However, you always have the right to file a lawsuit over a contract. If you have bargained away your right to a lawsuit, via mandatory arbitration or something, then you may lose very quickly. But you always have the right to have a court interpret that provision and determine if it complies with the law. That's what Vilma did when he sued (http://cbssports.com/images/blogs/vi...nt09182012.pdf)

              After the Ray Rice fiasco, Sir Rog played it right this time. The difference is, few think that the suspension handed down to Tommy was too short.

              And A-Rod, er, Brady, won't file a lawsuit, just like Brady, er, A-Rod didn't. Otherwise he'd have turned over his phone initially.

                I would love to see that happen.
                That's why it won't go to court.

                  You know, when you behave like this in the football forum, you provide a bad example for the wingnuts in the Spin 2one.
                  You didn't provide all the possible outcomes. It is you that looks like the knuckle-dragging, whore-mongering morlock.

                    There already is a thread about this. You know the one that someone merged your other 30 threads you had going before that. I was staying out of that one, and so were a lot of other people, apparently, because it's finally died. So here cames Sir Spamacus looking to restart his fire with another 30 threads all about the same thing.

                      That douchebag wants to have a kind of monopoly on the subject here and he wants to control the flow of any conversation regarding deflate-gate.

                      That much is clear.

                      Maybe it makes him feel important somehow...I don't know, but talk about an attention whore...

                        If I was a big shot movie director I would spend more time being humble and introspective.

                        Who ta kneel in front of? A salad with some diet vinegarette on it hopefully.

                          If you feel I didn't provide all the possible outcomes, why didn't you identify them, instead of pulling your usual jackass routine?

                          Give us some of these other scenarios that offend you by their absence...

                            That's why you aren't a big shot movie director.

                            You're an idiot.

                                You're not a big shot anything.

                                You are a douche bag.
