goodell is going to come out of this looking like a canyon sized vagina when it's all said and done.

if you put up pics of he and donald trump they could be candidates for 'separated at birth'.

Actually, here is what I predict will happen:

Brady will serve a 4 game suspension.

Goodell will be the Commish for years into the future.

End of story.

What is Joe Thomas supposed to do?

whine about Tom Brady?

Ask silly question, get silly answer.

What's going on in court isn't anything we didn't already know. Goddell has all the power to make the decision and didn't, by the agreed upon rules, misstep. A lot of people are confused about this court situation and think Brady will "win" in court. The simple truth is the NFL and Goodell can hold out because they are legally correct in what they've done. All the court is doing now is strongly encouraging them to work on an agreement while repeating several times how stupid the system of punishment is in the NFL currently.

So who will cave first? Will the NFL feel enough pressure to give in, or will Brady simply realize he won't win no matter how hard he tries? It's hard to say at this point, although don't underestimate what this does for the NFL long term. If Brady gets four games, Goddell can really flex his muscle and show even the "golden boy" isn't above his rule.

Even if the NFL loses it will not have any immediate effect on the NFL. This will NOT affect the continued popularity of the sport....nor the revenues that the sport procures, which is all that matters bottom line.

What "long term" issue will be at hand? Who controls discipline under the CBA. IF the players do not want the commissioner to be the person to handle it......to have it in the hands of an independent person/entity.....they are going to have to PAY the owners for the privilege.

The owners will say: you want this so badly.....you will give up 5% of the revenues being paid to the players. You will trade this for less in your pension.

The players will NOT be able to have their cake and eat it to. If it is SO important to them then the owners will extract their pound of flesh for the privilege. The players will not be able to get something for nothing...no matter how righteous they think their cause may be as that is not how the world works.
