I remember last February when all the legal experts posting here said that Terrell Owens did not have a prayer of getting his free agency from the 49ers and his agent was a dumbass who should be fired before he was drawn and quartered. I don't remember any apologies from all those legal experts posting here saying that they were the dumbasses who did not know what they were talking about when they made their postings. Unless I've been living in a time warp, TO is now in Philly, no?

Wait until the arbitration hearings are over and the arbitrator makes his decision and then decide if:

a. The Poston Brothers are incompetent boobs who probably can't find their asses with either hand.

b. LaVar is a money-grubber.

c. Danny Boy and company are a bunch of lying weasels.

d. This was a misunderstanding and should have been caught in the negotiation/contract review process but was not.

e. The Postons are incompetent AND LaVar is a money-grubber AND Danny Boy and company are lying weasels.

Here is the dangerous outcome for the Redskins:

IF - notice I said IF because I DON'T KNOW - the arbitrator finds that there was some kind of intentional misrepresentation of the contract by the Redskins to the NFL and the NFLPA, then that misrepresentation MIGHT have resulted in a prior violation of the salary cap last year or during this offseason, and that would call for sanctions against the team as set out in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. That would be a BAD THING because losing high draft picks is one of the possible sanctions. Yes, I said "picks" in the plural!

The fact that the Redskins are allowing this to go to arbitration and not settling it out of that process tells me that they are very confident that even if they lose the arbitration, they will not get hit with sanctions. If they have not considered that part of the equation and they lose, then they are not only lying weasels, they are stupid beyond belief.
