And even if it was it could not be addressed by suspensions, only fines. It is hard to label something as "conduct detrimental" when the league has already given the practice its stamp of approval.

clothes lines, chop blocks, horse collars, head slaps.....know what those all have in common? they were legal at one time. might even have been legal in '96. why do they throw a flag for a horse collar, or a head slap if the league once gave it a stamp of approval?

that argument is gonna get tossed so quick it won't even be funny.

Also, I'm not a lawyer, so I really don't know this. it's why I'm asking. Is it up to the NFL to produce their witnesses in court? Am I missing something, why is Vilma whining now that the NFL is not 'producing' Williams? can't they subpoena him and require him to be at court? or was he talking about the NFL appeal.....
