DeMaurice Smith is apparently content to waste everyone’s time.
Over the holiday, we wrote a post called “Earth to Saints Players:Enough!” If you missed it, you can check it out by clicking here.
Obviously, they didn’t listen to us. To go along with the suit that Jonathan Vilma has filed on his own, the NFLPA has filed suit on behalf of the other three players, Will Smith, Scott Fujita, and Anthony Hargrove, that were allegedly involved in the Bountygate scandal. Goodell has moved for Vilma’s suit to be dismissed, but this is routine.
The suit by the NFLPA accuses Roger Goodell of being “incurably biased”. They are requesting previous arbitrator decisions to be overruled and Goodell removed as the person deciding this case.
We discussed this at length on the 4th, but it needs repeating apparently.
This is ridiculous. They have no chance. They are wasting the court’s time, as well as everyone else’s.
We will talk about the reasons on the next page.

Alan has been a passionate Jets fan since 1985. Obviously, that means he is a glutton for punishment, as he has suffered through many Jets disappointments. He remembers Mark Gastineau's late hit in the 1986 AFC Divisional Playoff game like it was yesterday. There have been many more failures than successes, but through it all, Alan has remained true to the Gang Green. He has been blogging for the Jets on various websites for the past 5-6 years. He lives and breathes the NY Jets all year round, and is committed to bringing the Jets passion to "The Jet Press" on a daily basis.
