Actually, No. The players union always like to take cases to MN federal court where they continually beat the NFL, but the NFL got it in the NY courts hoping that their kangaroo Court procedures would be upheld.....of course they were not........My gut feeling is that a lot of money could have been made in the multi billion dollar sports betting world, and I am convinced there is dirt here, and it has little to do with air pressure in a football. Tens of millions of dollars could be made with NE out of the playoffs, and Buffalo is greatly improved, Miami is better, and the Jets were better before the rabbit punch. Four games lost and at least a couple games to get him on track, and NE may not be a division winner. A syndicate putting multiple strategic bets on division winners with only four teams could have cleaned up. This was so bizarre that the NFL even bothered with litigation.....take control of the balls and be done with it......no I strongly believe something is rotten in the NFL......Legal fantasy teams and the new websites make the shoeless Joe Jackson scandal seem like small potatoes.....
The NFL conduct from beginning to end has been irrational......there is NO rational explanation.
