re: Could the house of cards be falling?

the judge seems to be laying the ground work for those questions to finally be answered

The real question is will Vilma win the appeal?

Against my best judgement, I actually read the reader comments. I'm very glad I did. It's easily worth reading through the typical retard posts, because they have multiple GREAT findings showing Goodell is full of shite. Most importantly:

From the PFT article linked:

quote:

---

Judge Berrigan apparently is trying to confirm — or debunk — the NFL’s claim that the decision to suspend the players already had been made at the time the league imposed discipline on the non-players.

One of the posts:

If the commish had indeed made up his mind on the discipline for the players by March 21st, he sure did not show it over a month later in an interview with Rich Eisen:

Q from Eisen:Something else that is first and foremost to the New Orleans Saints in many people’s minds about the punishment that you levied down based on the bounty case as well. When do you think the issue with suspending players who were involved in this is going to come to a head or a conclusion?

A from Goodell:“I hope to reach those decisions very soon. We have been continuing our work. We have continued to talk to players and other people that can give us a perspective. Once we have got all the information and we feel that we are in a position to be able to issue the fairest and most thorough types of decisions, we will do that but I expect to do that soon because this is a big element to me. This is player on player and what we want to do is make sure that people understand that there needs to be respect for players that play the game and that needs to start with players against players. We made it clear what we expect from the coaches and executives and clubs that these types of activities should not be occurring and that they need to do their part but the players need to do their part with each other and that starts with respecting each other”

That bolded part from the interview should be all the judge needs.

how does this play into paytons suspension?

---

it really doesn't. The only way I think Payton comes back is if the Judge overturns all player suspensions. Then we hope the owners make Goodell rescind Payton's suspension to try and make all this go away

have zero doubt Goodell will be forced to resign over the entire thing.

I'm sure pulling with you brother but its gonna take massive embarrassment for the league. I'm really hoping that Goodell/Benson meeting was a preview of the Freeh report.

The question that needs to be asked by the public is this:

If the NFL was dishonest about that item, what else are they being dishonest about?

We have a list of items that they were dishonest about, but people called us conspiracy theorists. But now it's been brought up by a federal judge...

Wtf is that contraption? It looks like a dog version of those stocks with the head holder seen in midieval movies.
