If Article 46 were as sweeping as the NFL claims, there would be no point in negotiating the rest of the CBA.

I'm not a Lawyer, but in reading the Submission, its wording suggests to me that they have decided to go "all in" on the unique nature of Goodell's authority under the CBA (thus the comparison to a "neutral arbiter").

That further suggests that someone (Goodell? Nash? Pash? Wells? All of the above?) may have panicked over the weekend and decided that they had to make this point very clearly, even at the risk of annoying a Federal Judge when they know full well that Federal Judges are very prickly about deadlines that they have set for their Court.

If article 46 were as sweeping as the NFL claims, the NFL would literally rule the world.

Dear Judge Berman

Please excuse the lateness of our reply.
We had to wait for Mr. Nash to finish editing it.

NFL's belated filing (without properly seeking leave to respond) may be a violation of SDNY Local Rule prohibiting unauthorized filings

"Your honor, our arbitrator was not neutral. So you have to respect and uphold his decision. Thank you.

NFL’s attempt to distinguish “evident partiality” cases ignores broader CA2 grounds (such as favoritism to one party)

NFL can try to argue that every prior case is distinguishable, but NONE of those had BOTH witnesses AND documents being excluded (like here)
