Ok, my question to you is has anyone actually seen what the written complaint is? It was my understanding that they were filing procedurally, but procedure not only encompasses how the punishement was doled out but the whole procedure period meaning that the league approved these deals when they had the opportunity to not approve them and now after approving them have decided to punish both teams. That is a procedural part also. You can't approve something then 2 yrs later punish the two teams for something they procedurally approved.
