This is not accurate…she can’t say the CBA is against federal law…the CBA was approved already. If it broke federal labor laws then it would have been rejected by the National Labor Board. It is a legally binding agreement. And you wait and see…this judge knows she has no precedent for stepping into this case. And now the NFL has both reduced some suspensions and rescued himself, she definitely has no legal basis for taking over. And anyway what is more likely is that she begins to see the NFLPA as not willing to compromise. Remember she said what she wanted more than anything was for the 2 parties to cave on some issues and come to a settlement on this issue. SOunds like the NFL is the only party willing to give up ground on any of their positions.

=================================

This is not accurate...If the process outlined in the CBA isn&#039;t followed and the process has been flawed (which it has) she can most definately step in and take it out of the NFL&#039;s hands. It has all been a sham anyway so there will be no problem in her doing so. Goofell asked his lawyer to step in and take over...please. If Tags doesn&#039;t step aside we know that he is on clean up duty and it may work in our favor. But I have a feeling that he will side with the NFL since they pay his salary.]]></description>

The NFL is giving the federal judge all the reasons to be able to step in and have jurisdiction over this matter. She has said from.get go that in the beginning her hands were tied because the players did have other appeals processes to take under the CBA and until the players exhausted all their options she legally couldnt step in..BUT on the other hand she also told the NFL that these players were guranteed fairness and that those gurantees didnt have to be in the CBA they are an automatic given under federal law…and that the minute the NFL exhibited unfairness then a federal judge had all authority to step in. and the feds are not dumb she knows that appointing Tags who is also an employee of the lawfirm representing goodell in these suits as well as the defamation suit is a conflict of intrest and is noway an impartial arbitrator to this situation…so by doing so the NFL has showed they arent gonna be fair…giving the judge legal ground to start stepping in!!
