In reply to the discussion: Robert Kraft-Patriots won't appeal ruling [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)81. And he'll end up in court. What's your point?
That's not a "gotcha." You apparently haven't been following along, or even been reading your OWN links....poor you!
Here, since you didn't bother--let me help you with a quote from YOUR OWN link:
Roger Goodell wants to be the judge, jury and executioner in Tom Bradys suspension appeal. According to CBS Sports Jason La Canfora, the NFL rejected the NFL Players Associations request that Goodell recuse himself as arbitrator in Bradys appeal. However, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Friday that no decision has been made on whether Goodell will recuse himself from the appeal.
NFL Medias Ian Rapoport further explained the situation via Twitter: NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said Friday on ESPN that the union would increase the volume of their request if Goodell didnt respond by the end of next week. Its unclear what steps the NFLPA will take if the league officially rejects its motion. A rejected motion likely would increase the chances that Bradys appeal winds up in court, where anything could happen.

And you missed that tweet, right in the middle of your little article, too! You know, the one that said:

Explaining discrepancy: Technically, Goodell hasnt made it official. His lawyers submitted paperwork stating his view to not recuse himself
You might want to switch sides, and join the TIME WILL TELL team, too....
Your "proof" isn't saying what you want it to say. Darn the bad luck!
Now, continue on, if you must, with more dramatic verbiage and all-caps "FACT!" I still won't be moved. Particularly if you keep posting links like that beaut~!

Yes, I'd definitely give my personal cell phone to my employer if they asked.

I've never been to a game and I rarely watch them. I could hardly be called a fan.

I don't think you're laughing at all--it's obvious that you are furious at these turns of events.

I think once they lied about how accessible the ball boy was (and they did lie about that)

If they appeal it to a federal court I would assume he would have to answer this question under oath

It reminds me of the Paula Jones Case that led to Clinton's impeachment.
