Two very simple points: (1) The league cannot retroactively change its governing rules in order to sanction teams for actions that conformed to the rules at the time they were taken; and (2) the mere fact that the NFLPA subsequently signed off on the penalty does not have any bearing on whether the owners' prior actions were collusive.

Quite frankly, you're just talking out your ass and have no concept of the legal principles on which you are offering opinions.



JoeRedskins, You are my new Hero!! Giantone, anything???

1) As I have said before the League runs by committee a process agreed on when the team joined the NFL.If the owners all agreed to do it (dumping cap #'s) or did'nt seems to be the question and from the reports I have read in the Washington Post some seem to think "all" the owners did agree and then 4 went back on their word.
2) Wrong the fact that the NFLPA "did" sign off is a very big deal....they are'nt complaining and again from reports are'nt planning any legal appeal of the disapline.Again reports also say the Cowboys will not appeal


P.S. May I also say I too appreciate all your time JoeRedskins I like reading you opinions and commentary but Brody as Joe will tell you there are very good Lawyers who can make a case the other way.I beleive the NFL runs more like a Labor Union more then a business and that's why I think Labor Law would be more practical in a diagnose of this situation.
