Given that the 'Skins are bringing in a rookie QB, maybe the reduced cap space this year helps temper expectations* a bit, and then the 'Skins have all the room in the world to move next year.

*LOL at tempering 'Skins fans' expectations

As might be expected, I checked several sources and there is no known reference to the phrase......

John Mara is a douche bag.
He should shut his fat cake hole.
He can suck the "spirit" out of my ass crack.

Is that from an advance transcript of the statement Jerry Jones plans to make at today's League meeting?

He should, what's to stop him from doing this BS in the future?

Well common sense would dictate that the league would have never pursued this issue in such a manner. Usually the league is far more strategic in its actions. Why in this case they were so...clumsy...perplexes me. I think this has changed my view on Goodell. I was at worst neutral on him from before believing a lot of the criticism was severely unwarranted but this smacks of a commissioner who is just jumping when his bosses say to. He should have been able to see how this could potentially play out in disastrous way and soothed the more emotional desires of the "aggrieved" owners.

Agreed. They bungled this from day one it seems. Failing to follow their by-laws by failing to follow a vote, violating the terms of the current CBA by imposing different salary cap numbers on different teams and, of course, Mara basically admitting that the owners colluded to violate the salary cap.

If I am the league's lawyer right now, I am having a serious sit down with Mara and explaining, in very small words, "collusion", "new evidence" followed by "treble damages". What a moron.

Especially in light of the manner in which the Skins pursued this. They attacked it on a procedural defects saying that the current by-laws and CBA weren't not followed. Clearly, they were trying to minimize the larger impact by not attacking the the substantive issue that the NFL is penalizing them for failing to collude. Mara's comments and intransigence may leave them no alternative but to blow this thing up.

DS and JJ must have really, really pissed them off.

I really like the Redskins approach of not saying much to the media. I wish JJ would follow suit and keep his mouth shut. Let the grievance process take its course.

I don't think the Cowboys have said much more. Now JJ may be speaking today, but, I think both Snyder and he are more than savvy enough to limit their words to "legally approved content". Mara seemed to sink his own argument...

Pretty sure they're at The Breakers in West Palm Beach. That place is SICK. Essentially a palace on the water.
