Goodell and refs to testify under oath about infamous no call

Recommended Posts

The NFL will spend millions fighting this... I still think when it is all said and done, there is little chance Goodell is going under oath.

This would set a terrible precedent for the NFL, and they will fight this with everything they have as long as they have to.

Aints organization and it's fans are so full of cesspool swamp water and muck just like their state and city government officials.

Here is a ridiculous thread from Aints forum.

The Judge should have laughed this out of the courtroom telling these fools that the courts do not have time for this nonsense especially with a waste of a case like this one is. Nothing in that game was illegal and against the law but the City N.O. along with the state of Louisiana seem to think that it is.

Let's not forget about the NFL carrying their sorry asses to a Lombardi for that post-Katrina feel good story all the while those filthy swamp rats were putting bounties on opposing players while Sean Payton ate pain killers like Skittles. 

Oh yeah..how about all the personal foul /roughing the passer calls that weren’t called on the saints for hammering Brett Favre and obviously targeting his leg...if just a couple more of those were called Minnesota wins that NFC championship game.  Reminded me of our super bowl and our rematch with Denver where the refs apparently just forgot their are strict rules about hitting the QB...for certain teams at least. #gatorfugers ..!..

The league will probably argue that their product is interstate commerce, and thus solely a Federal matter, and that the Federal courts have already ruled.  Thus La. has no jurisdiction.  I suspect they made that argument to the trial judge already (this is too much tripe for me to spend time reading it), and she didn't agree.

Wouldn't you love to be on the US Court of Appeals, if the argument winds up with them, writing the "reverse and dismiss" opinion.....and taking a few shots at the "lower court's" rationale (and sanity) in allowing the case to move forward? 

There used to be a US District Court judge based in Galveston who would write opinions that would make attorneys feel like they were sitting on a stool in the corner, wearing a dunce cap.  A friend of mine is a lawyer in Dallas who would send them to me, and comment they are very funny unless you are on the butt-end of them.  Maybe bring him out of retirement, if he is still alive, to write this one?

Generally removal to federal court is automatic and immediate and it appears that the defendants have not attempted to remove the case yet and this is perplexing.  I hope it stays in NO and keeps the wound open because this type of thing means NO isn't over the loss and likely will carry over to this year.

That game loss isn't a legal issue so why was it sent to court anyway. Nobody went to court because of Patriots cheating and at least 4 suspect SB's which weren't fair wins. You are right though because Aints organization and it's fans will continue to make a mountain out of the smallest ant hill.

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
