Appeals court denied Bradys en banc review request.
Next and last option is the Supreme Court - big hail mary.

I was somewhat surprised.  I know the Second Circuit likes employers, but I had thought that they would have more concern for maintaining the validity of arbitration to just say, "whelp, that arbitration sucks, but the letter of the agreement is all important and the spirit not significant at all."

The NFLPA should be ashamed they ever signed such a bullshit CBA, so I guess it is really their fault.  I think it will be hard for the owners to get much disciplinary authority in the next CBA, now that the players have seen what a commissioner can do with it.

What will the players be willing to give up to get that though?

I don't know that they will have to give anything up in any sort of tit for tat.

I am helping coach my kid's football team this year.  New Ohio law limits us to 30 minutes of contact per practice and 60 minutes total per week.  I guess they'll have to spend that extra time running :menace:

I was very sad to see that.  I always thought he was a great guy. 67 is too young to go.

Yeah, you can always tell when the Ravens training camp has begun;  start seeing the procession of incredibly high-end cars in the morning on the way to work, Aston Martins, Bentleys, tricked-out trucks.  derspeiss knows what I'm talking about.

When you see a vehicle and the only thing you recognize on it is the Mercedes-Benz logo, you know it's gotta be fucking expensive.  Gotta be out of their goddamned minds, driving shit that isn't even for sale in North America in this demolition derby of a bullshit city.

That's just the NFL not taking control of the situation, and the HOF stadium people dropping the ball on their own facility. If that game were held in a team's stadium as opposed to a "neutral" field, that sod would've been replaced between Friday night's redneck shitkicker concert and the game on Sunday night.  Teams do that shit all the time in the preseason, it would not have been a problem in a 48 hour window.  And the whole paint thing would've been a non-issue.
