Title: ESPN news reporting Judge rules in favor of Players Post by: bsfins on December 11, 2008, 05:33:31 pm Espn News on their Scroll has the Minnisota Judge has sided with the Players that were being suspended for Steroids,The Willimas DTs',Deuce Mccallister,Etc,Etc...Meaning they aren't being suspended for atleast the next 2 weks.......
Yahoo posted it first... http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AmXiNPMGNPYUDz2oQzsw8Ek5nYcB?slug=ap-nflsuspensions&prov=ap&type=lgns (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AmXiNPMGNPYUDz2oQzsw8Ek5nYcB?slug=ap-nflsuspensions&prov=ap&type=lgns) Title: Re: ESPN news reporting Judge rules in favor of Players Post by: fyo on December 11, 2008, 06:22:35 pm There have been some really odd things about this case... like the NFLPA arguing that the NFL had decided NOT to suspend at least one player previously for the same thing, but the NFL is arguing that previous cases are not public record and therefore irrelevant.
I'm not saying the players shouldn't get suspended - I really don't know - but it looks pretty clear that the league fucked up. Title: Re: ESPN news reporting Judge rules in favor of Players Post by: fyo on December 11, 2008, 06:36:25 pm Some of the points raised by the judge according to ESPN:
"There we re two big issues that Judge Magnuson cited," Kessler said. "One is that the NFL very likely violated public policy because its own doctrine had a duty to tell the players of the risk they were at with [StarCaps] after it was discovered. Two, the judge said it was improper for Jeff Pash to serve as an arbitrator when his own office was involved in the concealment." http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3763465 Title: Re: ESPN news reporting Judge rules in favor of Players Post by: YoFuggedaboutit on December 11, 2008, 08:34:03 pm Like I said in another thread, a landmark case. Now if a player doesn't agree with a suspension, they can take the NFL to court.
