DJ Williams wouldn’t have made a difference in the trouncing that the Broncos will receive from Brady and company… And that will be far from their most important game of the year… their most important game of the year will be whether they win 2 games or 3 games and pick first in the draft or second again…..

The Williams trial and courts both correctly focused on simply whether the CBA was followed when the suspension was handed down and then when the arbitrator upheld the suspension. No inquiry by the courts as to whether there was sufficient evidence to justify the suspension in the first place.

Identical issues. Wouldn’t seem to bode well at all for the bounty players.

There is a dispute about the facts in the New Orleans case. Of course it would have helped if the players had actually presented a defense. Poor lawyering.

I am glad some common sense came into play here.

It means that they are showing the player that it is unfair that he is trying to avoid drug screening.

Williams pursued the same kind of strategy that the players suspended as part of the bounty investigation are implementing. Specifically, Williams challenged the fairness of the league’s in-house arbitration process. (By the way, Williams is represented by the same lawyer who represents Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma.)————————————————————–
This is exactly why saints* fans shouldn’t hang their hats on local “judge judy’s” desire to “find a way to rule in favor of Vilma”. Judge Judy and Vilma’s lawyer “Gouge ‘em Ginsburg” know what the Federal Appeals Court is going to do….defer to the CBA. Too bad Vilma isn’t smart enough to see the handwriting on the wall as he wouldn’t “give” all his money to Ginsburg. Judge Judy’s own admission that she wants to rule in favor of Vilma…..but needs to find a “reason” but as of yet can’t, should tell you all you need to know about where bountygate is heading. Even the NFL looks at it as nothing more than a “speedbump” and thus they don’t bother themselves with “offering more evidence” or wasting their time with a vigorous defense in front of judy judy. I’m sure the NFL would prefer judge judy rule in favor of Vilma now, in the interest of saving time and money becuz they know how the Appeals Court will rule.

Williams won’t let Goodell eat at his restaurant, Goodell won’t let Williams play in his league. Lol

It’s not his league. Fidel Goodell makes you think that but it’s not.
