Joe Thomas on Deflategate

For those betting folks... I would not settle as yet.
I'm no lawyer, but Article 46 of the CBA does not seem to prescribe actions in the areas where the judge "found" grounds for vacating the suspension. Seems akin to binding arbitration clauses we routinely agree to in the internet era, i.e. fairness doesn't enter into it...
Gip?

Considering the specific words used by the Federal Judge that were aimed at the NFL it makes me wonder if Josh Gordon has a right to appeal his year long suspension. Perhaps I am looking at this through homer goggles but a full season for weed in this day and age? Sounds overly zealous by the NFL and if I am Gordon now may be the time to strike and appeal due to this decision.

and lets not forget that his final transgression.....the one that got him suspended for a year.....was to have a drink.....

amazing how the right wing strict 'law-abiding' citizens' hate the pats and the northeast when it's the birthplace of our country.
no dickheads it's not plymouth, missouri it's plymouth massachusetts. the pilgrims didn't fly in from england on a 747.

Actually, it is Jamestown Virginia.....13 years earlier (if by "birthplace" you are saying...."where was the first English Colony established in America"
Or perhaps if you are just asking where the first European colony was established, then you have to go to St. Augustine Fla.

The Judge seemed to imply that the NFL overstepped their bounds in his decision. The NFL may have just as valid an argument that the Judge overstepped his bounds.
-
My guess is, the judge should have resigned from the case, because
of being an avid patriots fan.

if w all don't see that this went too far then we are way too old and crotchety. it's like giving a kid detention for sneezing in class.

Uh..........
yes you can say i one on this one.....go ahead....say it.......
You certainly did Mik - good job by you!
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -
i'll take your house now gipper.
What was that? Oh yea, we made a bet that I would give you my house if Phil Taylor was cut. Good bet on your part.
Only problem: I don't own a house. The only real estate interest I hold is a half interest in a timeshare. I could let you use it and send you on a trip.
Edit: In checking....I offer to send you to Nuevo Vallarta in September to stay in a studio....you don't need more than a studio do you?
(of course, you are responsible for your transportation etc.)
Second edit: I will sweeten the offer and include Acapulco, Orlando, Puerto Vallarta, Atlantic City, Grand Cayman, or Austria. Again, studios.

Mik, you can go here on my dime....but you must go there on Sept. 18th:

sorry flugs. had been up all night with no sleep and pondering meeting someone i haven't seen in 20+ years today so was a little squirrely this morn...but things went great and whatever...
sometimes lines are drawn and we get to wrapped up in who wins and who loses when it really means nothing in the real context of life and what's important.
GO BROWNS!!

Or here if you want to stay closer to home:
The one on the right that is. This is Atlantic City.

No problem Mik! We're here to have fun too so I can't hold that against you. I thought my Nikes would taste a lot better than they did considering how much cake I dropped on them.

Fucking Obamao! I always knew he was a Patriot lover.
On a side note, good to see you can't be judge, jury and executioner in the NFL.
