But, if tomorrow's grievance forces the appeal to go in front of an arbitrator the league will be forced to show evidence that the player did indeed do what he is being punished for and that the punishments levied were reasonable.

There wasn't anything in the email to suggest it wasn't a joke. The league would have to supply some sort of money trail or something that would collaborate their interpretation of the single line postscript.

I don't think you understand. The quote in the email has NO implication of the joke. So as face value the quote in the email will be taken as is.

Matter of fact before Ornstein came out and said that line was in jest you nevee believed it was a joke. You just had denial of player participation.

Once again the lesson for the day children is "Face Value"....say it with me "Face Value"....Yes you got it now.

The key thing is that there isn't a smiley face or a "Lol"...no expression shown because it was im an email. No follow up statement in the email saying "don't take me seriously" or "I'm just joking"

It was just I got $5k on Rodgers and that's it. Ornstein has to prove that is a joke. His only recourse is to show another email or something where he said that and it implied a joke. But like phocis said you are harping on a lil email that has not been talked about all that much in the media.
