Per Schefter & PFT: NFL salary cap debacle continues---updates include NFLPA filing collusion lawsuits---links and discussion current--MET

[G1]

you know, last season the NFL did two controversial actions. the punishments for bountygate and punishing the Skins and Cowboys. Bountygate was overturned and Godell has a suit on him still. They might chose to give up on the Skins/Boys punishment rather than risk another loss.

I was thinking the same thing. Face could be saved all round with the league saying the penalty was appropriate but they have decided to void year 2 of the penalties.

I'd take that and even though it's still "wrong" I guess the Skins would swallow it to get $18 million back for next year and avoid the mess of a law suit.

Even though The Redskins were given 2 years to split the cap space, wasn't all of it already distributed to the rest of the team this past year? If that is the case will they have to return their pro-rated shares?

I think the multi-billion dollar NFL can find a way to let up spend an extra 36 million next year if need be.

Every lawyer on this board should devote a few hours and work pro bono for Danny and sue the freakin NFL....

if George Allen had put investigating the NFL in his platform he'd be a senator from VA right now

I'd forgo the $18 Million if they get rid of Goodell

Perfectly OK. In fact I'd love it!!

Just got back "We can always dream". Not much. Oh well. We got a chuckle out of it.

I will see if Pez can post the video.

SonnyandSam Basset Hounds are awesome. Gibbs is a Tri color yours sounds more Red and White

I have a question that may be relevant to the other team's desire to fight us on this issue. However, I don't know if anyone on here will know the answer.

Of the clubs that got the extra cap space awarded by the re-distribution of our and the Cowboys penalty which clubs, if any, actually spent that extra cap money?

[gbear]

G1,
That was always my question going into the situation from the players side. They took money from 2 teams for "over spending" to give to the rest of the owners (too cheap to do the same), and they did so for the last season without a floor on spending. Why and how did it work out for them?

Trust me, Snyder has plenty of high priced legal advice working on this issue. It's not just Snyder and Bruce Allen.

My Gibbs is a good old American mutt. I did a DNA test. I know she is 25% bulldog, 12.5% boxer and who know what the rest of her is. But it definitely is a mixture of hound. She lives by her nose. Smells everything; nose to the ground wherever we walk; and of course has that face of a beagle/basset/American fox hound type of dog. Wish I knew more of her background, She was a rescue dog from a kill shelter in Birmingham, AL. Can't imagine anyone sending her to a kill shelter. She has the sweetest disposition of any dog I've known in 53 years. Just loves all people.

From the Podcast:
JLC: "...look, the Eagles and the Giants were behind that. They're the ones that brought that issue to the league...."
The Dream Team Eagles were the ones that started the cap inquisition, with Mara being the one who followed up with it. Those bastards.

This is infuriating. We got ****ed. Plain and simple. This is worse than expected.

But this making winning the division all the sweeter...

The NFL already knew about it because they approved the contract restructuring.
