pablodix Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Time to let the judicial branch go to work....... I agree... It seems useless to appeal anythig to the NFL anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacegolfer Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Time to let the judicial branch go to work....... Exactly! Time to go to real court and deal with it then. I am betting it will be overturned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobo97 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Of course they were denied. They're appealing to the same person who issues the punishment. That's "one" of the many problems with Roger Goodell! You can't be the person responsible for appealing punishments when you are also the person handing out the punishments. That's just stupid!

badblackcat Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Considering the NFLPA had already colluded with the NFL to nuke two teams for the betterment of the rest, it was a longshot without going to court. Going Al Davis on the league is probably the only true way of fighting this, and the net gain will be minimal ( mostly consisting of dragging Goodell's name through the mud, which is being done with gusto lately). It may have been more of a benefit for the Cowboys to have filed a grievance against Mara himself rather than the league, since he had no objectivity (and admitted such) in dealing with something involving two teams in his division while giving a pass to teams outside of it.

I agree. Any net gain is not going to be worth the fight. Jones should file this in his back pocket and retaliate when least expected. There will come a time when Goodell will need something from each of these owners & that's when they should come out ruthless with guns blazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Amazing that both of these old rivals have won a combined 3 playoff wins in the past 16 years with all the money they've spent on talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the same everywhere. The best talent and (or) the most money will not guarantee wins or championships. I have been saying this for a long time.

Was there ever a bigger instance of conflict of interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
