Now...on to those bogus salary cap penalties. We should get the $36 mil back plus an extra 1st rounder for the negative impact from it being implemented unfairly in 2012.

And it should be the Giants first rounder.

That and giving us back our cap space and slapping Mara's team with a 36 mill cap penalty would be appropriate. F little Mr. " lucky they didn't loose draft picks" Mara and F the Giants.

While it's fun to talk about getting cap space back and/or punishing Mara and the Giants in some way, does anyone know if there's anything actually going on that would even address this issue with the NFL?

$43 million.

Dallas had about a $7 million penalty, right?

I'm curious to see if civil suits come against the NFL as a result. I feel it's fairly easy to argue that these players had their brand irreparably damaged by the first ruling and will want to get some sort of compensation.

Isn't that prohibited by the collective bargaining agreement?

The player just need to get over it.

Not really. I mean it is somewhat embarrassing that the NFL screwed up the "punishment" process. But in the end this ruling doesn't say that Vilma and Co. are innocent. IMO they are not.

Right, Tags is just saying he doesn't think the punishment was justified.

Why so?

Because Goodell wanted these guys to miss a lot of games and with Vilma the entire year. This might have costed Hargrove his career. The punishment didn't fit the crime and most people would agree with that. Obviously Paul T. did as well.
