Best hope is that they negotiate a reduced penalty in order to make this go away quickly and keep any dirty laundry private. NFLPA is entitled to discovery on any documents produced for this arbitration. With 29 owners behind him, Goodell is going to win this, but may not want to drag out a fight.

OK, so that being said, assuming +/- 5% of bias, wouldn't the arbitrator look at this and be like, "HA! Wow, NFL this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my life. I rule in favor of the Redskins and Cowboys."? There are SO MANY things in favor of both of those teams when it comes to the details. I HATE the Cowboys. I hate them with every fiber of my soul. But even with my loathing hatred of them, they got dicked over as much as we did.
Someone posted this in this thread already, but the timing, the teams, the amount, EVERYTHING screams of collusion.
In my opinion, this is a simple "can't see the forest for the trees" type of argument that unless Goodell goes all "I-do-what-I-want-bitches", it's an obvious injustice.
