Talking about the appeal process, the legitimacy of the evidence, the players responses, etc.

No clue if this piece is new, but the program listing is "new."

Yes he did.

Now it's Adolpho Birch III who is the NFL Sr. Vice Pres of Law & Labor saying everything Attallah said is wrong, and he's saying the evidence is plenty convincing, the investigators did a great job, and the Players Union and the Players messed up by not being prompt/fast enough in their denials and such.

I guess the NFL only leaked the bullshite to the media and kept the real evidence for themselves. Nothing they have done to this point suggests that we should believe them now.

That's what everyone not employed by the NFL is saying. Smear campaign by the NFL, going to the media first and without great evidence or anything. Then the NFL person was saying the Players Union is the one launching a smear campaign against the investigators.

People questioning Rogers power, his agendas. The hypocrisy of player safety but 18 games and such.

No one really behind Roger other than those hired by the NFL. Questioning his methods and if evidence is circumstantial, hear say...

When asked about the Hargrove video, all Birch could say is it sounds like it was Hargrove. He sure did stutter a bit when asked he was asked some of those questions.

OTL is a horrible horrible show. The topics they discuss and the angles they take are completely arbitrary. And their investigations are shoddy.

I see what you did here, even if it was unintentional.

Today was just the players union rep talking, then the counter by the NFL guy, then the response to the counter by the players union rep again.

Then they had herm edwards, and 2 other guys, one a VP of the Packers and legal council guy, giving their take on the ordeal.

Didn't find out anything new, but we heard that the NFL guy believes wholeheartedly the evidence is convincing, and the players and the union messed up during the investigation and process. The questionable and incorrect evidence is good enough for the NFL and their investigators did an amazing job. There is no backing down from them, so unless this goes to some other form of court the players are screwed.

I understand Dave Zirin was also on the show. He's one of the few members of the media who have been on our side on this from Day One.

Brees - 32 companies!
Who Dat!
18 games vs 16 squashing led by Brees
etc etc.

Nothing more than hate on the NFL's part trying to get revenge.

Has OTL done a follow up on their "Mickey Loomis is a stealth play stealing genius" piece?
