So if Roger hadn't already set the precedent, he would be setting it now.
I think blue print would be more appropriate for this audience.

That's perfect! A new word for bull****: "Alternate understanding." I love it!!
Let's use it in a sentence:
"He's not wrong, he just has an alternate understanding."
That is pure gold.

Then you haven't read NFL v NFLPA and Tom Brady linked above. Specifically, for example, at page 22, the section Discipline for Noncooperation applies directly to what is happening at this moment. Our boys were finally correctly advised they had no choice but to interview, which is why they are doing so.
(It isn't, as H5 posted, because "(t)he NFL went public with their side of the story and used the court of public opinion to make the PA look bad by claiming the PA was denying interviews" and "publicly pressured the players into submission," which is just nonsense.)
That part of the written opinion alone is binding on all players in all disciplinary investigations.
When Old Tom appealed his ruling, it brought provisions of this CBA to the Court of Appeals, specifically the 2nd Circuit. There are only like 12 of them; they are one step below the Supreme Court. If not overturned by the Supreme Court, their written decisions make law. They made law that applies to this case.
These are important dudes in robes with more important things to do. It works that way so that the parties beneath them know, that if they were appeal to them again on the same issue, they will lose, so hopefully they don't bring the issue to them again; or if they do, they don't have to bother writing the opinion all over again, they just cite Brady for that issue. That is what precedent means. It doesn't mean the cases have to be identical.
Obviously the cases aren't identical, but to a Court of Appeal, they are similar. They said as much in the written opinion, and you need to know that written opinion if you're going through the same process with the same Commissioner under the same CBA. It would be folly not to.

Packers GM Ted Thompson wouldn't say whether he feels today's meetings between Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers and NFL investigators is a significant step toward resolving the PED situation. "I'm not going to be one of the people adding my voice to this," he said.
Thompson won't talk about it, but Andrew Brandt said he does not expect suspensions from the Al report in regards to the conduct policy part of the CBA. And since there are no failed tests...
What I'm really wondering is if there is precedent.

What's clearly needed are multiple understandings.
Perhaps Alternate understandings
Ultimately, there will be 1 understanding. Irregardless of perceived precedent.

I'll add this. You go back through the thread, you'll see most of my posts were responding to H5 trying to prove me wrong, which he never did. I'm going to defend my posts. I think anyone would.
And he wasn't just stating his opinions, he was throwing out conclusory assertions that were just embarrassingly wrong. He was crapping the rug. You want to smell that go ahead. I'm going to try my best to clean it up.

Case in point.
No need to try to prove you wrong.

Ralph Waldo Emerson > Quotes > Quotable Quote
“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”

You wanna calm that down or should I?
Was I yelling?
Yeah, if you can make my fonts smaller without making my point smaller---go for it! 
How many understandings can dance on a pinhead?
Can Dom shrink understandings too?
When in doubt, attack the poster and not the post.
Sorry, crashing and burning in this thread (and this thread only) is what I meant, H5.

Used again in a sentence:
1. The man who thought California was on the East Coast had an alternate understanding of geography.
2. "Sorry I ran the stop sign, Officer, I have an alternate understanding of these things."
Fans are suing the NFL over the HOF game. All because a douche bag lawyer caught wind of a punters podcast comments. And it's gaining steam because Goodell is an untrustworthy ****. And everyone is sick of his nonsense. That's the only reason this is becoming anything. Goodell is a moron.
And Rog. You may want to get rid of your phone. Fast.
