Players motion for summary judgement today, same themes: lockout illegal, breaches of 2011 player contracts, etc, Procedural, due today??
HUH?? Procedural for where? I thought that the lockout was already ruled legal by the 8th Circuit Court?
A little country we refer to as the "United States"
No, seriously...their supposed reasoning is based on the Sherman Act, which I believe goes all the way back to the late 1890's--early 1900's.
Just some more 'throw something at the wall & see if it sticks' logic, that's all.
The where was for WHICH Court, not for The United States.. The lockout has already been ruled LEGAL by the 8th Circuit Court, so I don't see how a Summary Judgement in a lower court could be made that said that the Lockout was illegal. Something doesn't make sense..

This filing is so off the radar most NFL sites aren't even bothering to report it. It's just legal housekeeping. According to Yahoo the motion was filed in Minnesota and it relates to the hearing scheduled for August 29 in front of Judge Nelson. Had they not filed it now they would not have been able to file it if the whole deal fell apart because yesterday was the deadline for motions to be considered at that hearing...which will never happen if a new CBA is ratified this week...or any time before August 29. Which is why even when it flashed across twitter yesterday it was immediately acknowledged as just procedural.
