Neutral arbitration? Wait while I try and find my shocked face.

You mean Ted Wells' report wasn't a neutral investigation?

 

[Sicilian]

I'm not sure the NFL even knows what independent means.

"Good news Patriots, we've found an independent arbitrator for your case! It will be a three person panel made up of Jon Harbaugh, Jim Irsay, and Ron Borges. That way Boston is represented too!"

 

[luuked]

What leverage does Kraft/the Patriots have to make this happen ? Why would Goodell not appoint himself if the CBA allows it ?

 

[Soul_Survivor88]

This is very good

 

[Ivan]

If that option is available then Kraft would be crazy not to go for it.

Who's back do you have Bob? The Shield or your "Son's"?

Whose back?

Why the "greenback".

The NFL will make the stupidest decision possible because they always make the stupidest decision possible.

 

[DarrylS]

If they suspend him I am all for this.. as discovery may force the NFL to disclose all of the information upon which they made their decision.. so the whole world can see the idiocy of how they came to this decision along with all of the nefarious emails..

There is a provision for expedited arbitration as well...

I think we should demand trial by combat!

Gronk should be champion for the G.O.A.T

I'll take door #1. Bob wouldn't want to take a chance on giving up 'The Life" hes attained by being in the exclusive NFL owners club. He'd piss the rest of the members off, and he wouldn't be invited over any longer.

Someone take one for the team. Locate and hijack a UPS truck and hold Bob's Viagra hostage.

My god. Looks likes someone slipped Bob's girl some Special K.

We need to combine some of these. But. So kraft has no influence over who the arbitrator is, from a team perspective the process of fighting a fine is very different than a Player. If Brady is penalized then Kraft really has nothing to do with nor has influence on an appeal. In all the cases I can think of, including bountygate, the first arbitrator was Goodell, it took a federal Judge for those guys to get an independent arbitrator which by the way the NFL still appointed.

Gronk should be champion for the G.O.A.T

I'd pay good money to watch Gronk spike Goodell

 

[RobertWeathers]

The optics are terrible. If Bob pushes for it, he'll make it look like he's going rogue vs the NFL Exec Office and he'll be slammed by his peers. If he pushes for it, people will say, "Oh, Bob just wants to accelerate the process so he gets his player back sooner than later.". The guy can't win.

Hes sitting it out.

 

[Brewskies]

Not going to happen.
