^Heh. I know, I know. It's been particularly bad with the Deflategate 'reporting'.

And of course the appeal

The League needs to drop this, rather than have it hang around all season and beyond.

I honestly don't even see how this is a matter requiring the legal system to be involved honestly.

Hey guys, should we fix our broken arbitration system to avoid things like this in the future?

Nope, let's appeal and keep this farce running!



How can so many wealthy people with access to smart people be this unbelievably stupid? Seriously!

From Mike Florio of ProFootballtalk.com:

"The NFL likes to say that final say is exercised to protect the integrity of and public confidence in the sport of professional football. Over the last three years, however, has any one thing done more damage to the integrity of and public confidence in the sport of professional football than the way the league office has exercised this power?"

+100, Florio.

And the article the above quote was taken from:

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/09/04/league-office-must-find-a-way-to-restore-credibility/

He runs through the sad recent history of the NFL regarding player discipline, scandal and the general poor and inconsistant choices made by the League Office.

Florio is pretty sharp and the article is damning. I wonder if the League will actually carry through on the appeal. They really need to let this thing die and start rebuilding credibility.
