It turns out that Tagliabue is acting as a counsel on the Vilma vs. Goodell defamation case and is also act as counsel for the NFL on the NFLPA vs. NFL case. Yet Goodell insured his independence. Let's see how that flies. But, it could give the league an out over this farce.

Personally, I don't think that Goodell recused himself from hearing the appeals. I suspect that the owners "recused" him and informed him of who he was to "select" as the Hearing Officer. Tag's has a good reputation.

Very good question.

So if Paul sides with the players will it be "See, roger was wrong the entire time?"

If he sides with the NFL will it be "Paul is just a NFL puppet, this whole thing was a farce?"

Basically, I'm asking will you respect Tag's ruling either way or will you only recognize his decision if he sides with the players and crucify him if he sides with the NFL?
