I think it would be legally inappropriate for him to do so which could render any decision he makes unenforceable.
We won't do so in any case. There are too many really good lawyers involved for the arbitration hearing to turn into exposition on the collusive efforts of the league and its owners.
Those arguments are destined to be beaten to death in front of a judge.
I think the Skins and Boys lose this round and then have to decide whether to drop a proverbial grenade in the toilet. My guess, I think both owners are crazy enough to start a war.
Does anyone for a second think either DS or JJ aren't acutely aware that their cash is vitally important to many teams? At some point I have to believe they'll finally decide they're tired of being one of the very few teams that prop the league up and start a war to reshape how everything works. The other owners poking them with sticks only makes that all the more likely. Hence why I continued to be baffled at why this is the fight the other owners decided to pick. Very short-sighted and vindictive. Not two things that should ever be associated with business decisions.
