Sean Salisbury talks about LeBron James' extension with the Lakers, settlement talks between the NFL and NFLPA with Deshaun Watson's suspension, why he wouldn't put Watson on the field again this preseason and how much stock he's putting into Baker Mayfield this season. 

Aaron Wilson talks about why he thinks there's more likely to be a settlement between the NFL and NFLPA than a ruling by Peter Harvey in Deshaun Watson's case, Alvin Kamara's legal situation and the optics concern for the NFL. 

Albert Breer talks about joint practices around the league, why a settlement between the NFL and NFLPA in Deshaun Watson's case could happen, how long the 49ers will wait to make a decision on Jimmy Garoppolo and whether there's any concern for the Bengals of a drop-off this season.

We've made it to episode 100! To celebrate, we'll break down the craziness that is the start of the Bears season.

Jacoby Brissett is the man now for the Browns -- or, at least, for the foreseeable future. As they prepare for life without Deshaun Watson, whether it's six games or more, the Browns and head coach Kevin Stefanski gave Jacoby Brissett most of the first-team work on Sunday and it will stay that way moving forward. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start the podcast by talking about the switch and spend time discussing what could prompt the NFLPA to take the NFL to court once the appeal ruling comes down. Then they get into how the Browns offense will look with Brissett compared to how it will look with Watson. In the second half of the podcast, they talk about Greg Newsome II dealing with a hamstring injury and revisit if the Browns should bring back JC Tretter to play center.

Training camps are underway across the country and for some teams, there is much to worry about already. One thing we don't have to worry about is whether or not Dan Campbell will be a compelling character on HBO's Hard Knocks.

(00:00) The Browns plan to start Deshaun Watson in preseason opener on Friday(12:00) NFL wants immediate suspension of Deshaun Watson, NFLPA doesn't rule it out(32:00) Will the Browns force the NFL to make a decision before game time on Friday or does Watson take the field?

Nick and Dustin talk about Mary Kay Cabot's report that the Browns would have interest in Jimmy Garoppolo if Deshaun Watson's suspension is increased and Daniel Wallach provides insight into the options for Watson and the NFLPA. 

Daniel Wallach talks about Peter C. Harvey's impending ruling on the NFL's appeal of Deshaun Watson's suspension, the possibility for the NFLPA to take this to federal court if a indefinite suspension is handed down and why Harvey's role and Roger Goodell's comments could create a viable case for the union. 

Welcome to the corner of sports and the law, with your hosts Dan Wallach and Dan Lust. This week was a busy one, so sit back and enjoy. The Dans start with the Deshaun Watson appeal. (3:15) The NFL has appealed the punishment decision by Judge Robinson. Commissioner Goodell decided to use a neutral party handle the appeal and selected Peter Harvey, who is the former New Jersey attorney general. However, Harvey has previously been an arbitrator for the league, was on the NFL advisory committee, and helped create the language of the personal conduct policy. The reasoning for Judge Robinson's decision and the number of games is the issue at hand. The Dans analyze the reasoning she may have used and what Harvey may use based on NFL's recommendations for punishment. Where will the punishment have to land so this case doesn't end up in federal court? 12 games? A full season? The Dans also break down what happens after the decision by Harvey, and which court does the federal appeal end up in as both parties race to the courthouse. Another issue to break down is whether Watson has waived his right to a temporary restraining order (TRO) because he and the NFLPA failed to appeal the ruling by Judge Robinson. (35:30) Dan Wallach gives three reason why Watson won't get a TRO: 1) Waiver of irreparable harm; 2) the NFL appeal is for the modification and extension of the 6 games, not amending and restating; and 3) there is no argument that wipes out the entirety of the punishment. Dan Wallach sits down with Massachusetts Senator Eric Lesser (@EricLesser) to discuss the Massachusetts sports gaming bill. (59:55) The Governor is expected to sign the bill into law. Senator Lesser discusses the movement towards kiosks as well, and that this is just the beginning for sports gambling in MA. *** Have a topic you want to write about?

Kristian and Bobby talked to Mark Herzlich, an Audacy NFL Insider, about Deshaun Watson's impending punishment from the NFL. The guys debated the possibility of the NFLPA advocating for fully guaranteed contracts in the future. Kristian, Bobby, and Mike also interviewed Saints cornerback Paulson Adebo following Tuesday's practice. Adebo broke down the physicality of the cornerback position and the benefit of playing with officials in practice. 

Ray thinks that Benny Snell has separated himself from Anthony McFarland in the "battle" for backup running back. Ray says this preseason game is the most anticipated in at least the last 20 years. "The only way he won't be the starter in Cincinnati is if he falls flat on his face in the preseason games."  Ray says people need to take it a littttle easier on the Pickens praise. He thinks the offensive line is somewhere between bad and okay thus far in camp. Ray doesn't think Roquan Smith is realistic because he's going to cost so much money. Ray thinks Alualu is the big key to the Steeler rush defense.We revisit the Rodolfo Castro phone-gate! JEREMY FOWLER - Jeremy Fowler thinks that Roquan Smith is worth calling on. He thinks the compensation in a deal is going to be reasonable..."not a first round pick." But he thinks Smith wants to be paid at least 18 million a season. Jeremy talked about players representing themselves and says we may see it more and more. Teams are scared of it, according to Fowler. Jeremy says there's no more "stating cases" in the NFL v. NFLPA in the Watson case. Fowler says the Browns are hoping for a decision by the end of the week, but nobody knows for sure right now. Fowler thinks the decision could be a compromise w/ a big fine. Fowler thinks that if Watson misses between 7-12 games, that the Browns WILL BE a playoff team. We revisit the Pittsburgh Ebay account from the pre show. Is it Jim Colony selling his old stuff?!?! 

Doug goes into the "division of labor" in a three game preseason schedule. He gets more specific w/ the Steelers and what he would do if he were in charge. He also said as an evaluator, he loved the final preseason game. Doug also gets into "training camp heros." He said expectations need to be lowered a bit for George Pickens.  Doug's QB rotation for game one...Trubisky two series. Then Mason for the rest of the first half. Kenny Pickett plays the second half. He thinks the reps in an NFL game would aid Kenny in understanding the process. Doug says it's all about the mental side of things for Pickett because he will likely be out there against a third-team defense. We ask Doug if the Steelers should pursue a Roquan Smith trade. Doug says you have to make the cursory call to the Bears about Roquan Smith. He says you have to be careful not tamper. With Smith representing himself, he said that's a tough thing to do. He said given the Dolphins tampering case, you can't even take a risk. Doug thinks Devin Bush's injury was the main cause of his failures so, in Doug's mind, he thinks the Steelers overdrafted Bush's mental ability! Doug doesn't think it's a bad idea for players to represent themselves, because the NFLPA will always advise players in those situations. Dorin agrees, but Colin and Chris push back. 

Jeremy Fowler thinks that Roquan Smith is worth calling on. He thinks the compensation in a deal is going to be reasonable..."not a first round pick." But he thinks Smith wants to be paid at least 18 million a season. Jeremy talked about players representing themselves and says we may see it more and more.

Good Tuesday everyone, this is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, August 9, 2022. Just a reminder: FLF Conference Plug: Folks, our upcoming Fight Laugh Feast Conference is just 2-months away from happening in Knoxville TN, October 6-8! Don't miss beer & psalms, our amazing lineup of speakers which includes George Gilder, Jared Longshore, Pastor Wilson, Dr. Ben Merkle, Pastor Toby, and we can’t say yet…also dont miss our awesome vendors, meeting new friends, and stuff for the kids too…like jumpy castles and accidental infant baptisms! Also, did you know, you can save money, by signing up for a Club Membership. So, go to FightLaughFeast.com and sign up for a club membership and then register for the conference with that club discount. We can’t wait to fellowship, sing Psalms, and celebrate God’s goodness in Knoxville October 6-8. Let’s start today with our friends from the North… https://thepostmillennial.com/trudeau-liberals-ban-on-handgun-imports-set-to-take-effect-august-19?utm_campaign=64487 Trudeau Liberals' ban on handgun imports set to take effect August 19 In May, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed that his government would be moving to implement a national freeze on handgun ownership, essentially making it impossible to buy, sell, transfer, or import of firearms in Canada. On Friday, the Liberals announced that the temporary ban on handgun imports would be taking effect on August 18 as a "stopgap" while the more comprehensive national freeze moves through the legislative process. Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino and Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly held a joint press conference in Etobicoke on Friday to discuss the move, which according to CTV News, was pushed through without the approval of Parliament. "There's no doubt that there is a very pressing issue that lies before us," Mendicino began, "and that is the need, the necessity to eradicate gun violence, one of the most pernicious and complex social harms that we see visited upon our communities every day." He went on to announce that in order to hasten the implementation of the handgun freeze laid out in Bill C-21, "nearly all individuals and businesses in Canada will be banned from importing handguns" beginning August 19. Joly explained that as foreign minister, she has "the authority to deny any import or export permit application that is contrary to Canada's security." She noted that when Trudeau announced the freeze in May, there was an "uptick" in guns being purchased by Canadians. "We want to prevent that," she said, explaining that since most guns in Canada are not made in Canada, implementing a ban on imports would effectively ensure no new guns are purchased legally. The move to ban handguns has faced pushback from many who question its effectiveness. In 2019, for example, Vancouver police Chief Adam Palmer said that Canada already had very strong firearms regulations in place and that no further action was required. He added that the vast majority of gun crimes, especially those with handguns, are committed using illegal guns, thus it makes very little sense to ban an already prohibited weapon. https://www.theepochtimes.com/southern-california-city-to-consider-banning-abortions-declaring-sanctuary-for-life_4646733.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport California City to Consider Banning Abortions, Declaring ‘Sanctuary for Life’ Officials in the City of San Clemente, California, will consider a resolution Aug. 16 that would ban abortion and declare the city a “sanctuary for life.” The resolution defines the beginning of human life to be the moment of conception and would make it the city’s declared duty to protect that life until natural death. If passed, it would declare the city’s support for the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent overturning of Roe v. Wade and ban the act of abortion, abortion clinics, and abortion pills in the city. The resolution allows exceptions for women at risk of losing their lives in the process of birth and for victims of rape or incest. It also suggests that human beings do not have the authority to decide to end the life of the unborn. “We believe that life is God-ordained and God is the author and finisher of every life,” the resolution states. “[A]s a city council, we will protect and sustain life at every stage.” The resolution cites Poelker v. Doe of 1977—a legal precedent that allowed a city in Missouri to refuse to provide publicly funded hospitals for nontherapeutic abortions even though it provided facilities for childbirth—saying that “the Constitution does not forbid a state or county or city … from expressing a preference for normal childbirth instead of abortion.” Councilman Steve Knoblock, who proposed the resolution, hopes it will help to initiate change within California, considering the current trend in pro-abortion laws. “The ultimate purpose of government is to protect the life and liberty of humans including unborn individuals,” Knoblock told The Epoch Times in an interview. Councilwoman Laura Ferguson told the City News Service Aug. 3 that it was a “distraction” from more important topics in the city—such as homelessness—when abortion is “something already legal and codified in state law.” A spokesperson for the state Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office said access to abortion remains fully protected under state law, according to the City News Service. Mario Mainero, Associate Dean for Chapman University’s law school, told The Epoch Times this resolution would have no legal effect because state law pre-empts city law. “California state law permits abortion up to fetal viability and no city can counter that,” Mario said. “They can’t ban abortion clinics because that would violate state law and they can’t do that.” Armored Republic The Mission of Armored Republic is to Honor Christ by equipping Free Men with Tools of Liberty necessary to preserve God-given rights.

Greg Abbott after second bus of migrants arrives: ‘This is horrific’ New York City Mayor Eric Adams blasted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday after a second bus full of illegal migrants arrived at his doorstep. Adams gave a news conference Sunday morning at the Port Authority where he greeted an incoming bus of around 40 migrants — only 14 of whom disembarked in the Big Apple. https://nypost.com/2022/08/05/nyc-mayor-adams-request-photos-of-city-job-applicants-to-increase-diversity/ Adams asks for photos of city job applicants in effort to increase diversity: report Mayor Eric Adams is collecting headshots of potential city workers in a thinly-veiled effort to increase diversity, according to a new report. Adams has requested city agencies to provide photographs of potential hires to City Hall as candidates go through the interview process for city jobs ranging from assistant commissioner to departmental press secretary, Politico reported Thursday. Several unnamed city officials told the outlet that the request is clearly an effort to hire more diverse staffers. However, Adams maintains that it will merely help him recognize his employees in the sprawling city workforce. “Everyone knew what it was. There was no question. It was the first thing everybody said: ‘We’re going to start counting complexions now,’” one recently-departed City Hall employee told Politico. The majority of the officials interviewed by the outlet — who requested anonymity to speak freely about the internal measure — said they supported a more diverse workforce but worried the practice is already causing the Adams administration to make hiring decisions with a greater emphasis on race and ethnicity than merit. Compounding the issue, nearly every official Politico spoke to also said the headshot request created another snag in the drawn-out hiring process — straying away from the mayor’s signature motto of “get stuff done” at a time when city job vacancies are unusually high. About 8 percent of municipal jobs were vacant as of April, according to data from the Citizens Budget Commission. Politico obtained emails sent by the mayor’s team to about a dozen high-ranking officials at other city agencies asking them to submit headshots of people they hope to employ for Adam’s own review. One official said they were verbally told that Adams wanted agencies to hire people who “reflect the constituencies we serve.” Hiring managers aren’t expected to ask job candidates for headshots, but instead grab photos from social media sites like LinkedIn to appease the mayor’s request, two sources told Politico. https://www.outkick.com/jon-gruden-email-leak-hit-job-agent/ JON GRUDEN’S AGENT BELIEVES FORMER COACH’S EMAILS BEING LEAKED WAS A HIT JOB: ‘HE’S NOT A RACIST’ We’re approaching the one-year mark since Jon Gruden was forced to resign as the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders following a scandal involving an email leak, but his agent is still going to bat for his client, now calling it “a hit job.” Gruden stepped down as the Raiders’ head coach in October of 2021 after emails directed at NFL commissioner Roger Goodell were leaked that contained racist and homophobic comments. The emails were discovered in what was a league investigation into the Washington Commanders’ workplace culture. An email reportedly implied that Gruden was annoyed that the NFL forced the then St. Louis Rams to draft “queers,” which is a reference to the team drafting Michael Sam in 2014. Gruden reportedly sent an email making fun of the size of NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith’s lips. “Dumboriss Smith has lips the size of Michelin tires,” the email from 2011 reportedly read. The collection of emails dated back to Gruden’s time at ESPN, before he joined the Raiders for his second stint as head coach. With the original investigation not directly pointed at Gruden, his agent Bob LaMonte is convinced the NFL was simply out to get his client. “I can tell you right now that was a hit job,” Bob LaMonte told JoeBucsFan.com. “Why now, of all things, does that come out in an investigation that had already gone away? It was 10 years ago. And then why Jon and why the Raiders? He wasn’t even in the league at the time of those e-mails…That’s the tragedy of it. You can say what you want, but if anyone really understands Jon, they know he’s not a racist. That’s quite obvious.” LaMonte’s comments about Gruden echo those of legendary college football broadcaster, Brent Musburger, who was also the former radio broadcaster for the Raiders. Report: Raiders Brent Musburger Breaks Silence on Jon Gruden- Play 2:40 - 5:29 Gruden has since filed a lawsuit against the NFL and Goodell as he believes the league sought to ruin his career and make an example of him. The NFL looked to dismiss the case, but a judge denied that ask. Now, let’s end things on more of a positive or interesting note, because not everything is bad news out there: https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/eyes-up-for-perseid-meteor-shower-and-saturn-show/ The PUR-SEE-IDS meteor shower is one of the best shows all year for “shooting stars”. Though the Perseids have been active since July 14, the frequency of meteors hurtling through the sky is now heating up this week. In fact, Perseids can produce up to 150 meteors per hour under dark skies! Scientists say the peak time to view this shower will be on the night of Thursday, August 11 & Friday the 12th. The full moon that night may make it tougher to spot the meteors, so train your eyes toward the darker areas and watch closely. This week is also one of the best times to see the ringed planet of Saturn in dramatic fashion. On Sunday, August 14, the giant world will line up with the Earth and the Sun. The alignment is called an “opposition.” Saturn will be closer to Earth than it has been in more than a year. If you want a peek at the planet, look for a golden yellow light shining steadily in the east after sunset. With binoculars, you may even see the spectacular Saturn rings.

Brad says he's disappointed that the NFLPA is disappointed w/ the appeals process regarding DeShaun Watson. He said they agreed to the CBA and knew how this could play out. Brad says that Jimmy G could still wind up in Cleveland. Brad thinks the Browns would be a playoff team with Garoppolo. On Johnson: "This is a slam dunk, home run deal for Omar Khan...It should make Steelers fans optimistic about the future." Brad thinks Pickens could be one of the steals of the draft. He doesn't think Trubisky will be a starter past this year in Pittsburgh. He thinks that the Steelers could MAYBE get a 6th round pick for Mason Rudolph. Are people still up in the Wordle world??

Greg Abbott after second bus of migrants arrives: ‘This is horrific’ New York City Mayor Eric Adams blasted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday after a second bus full of illegal migrants arrived at his doorstep. Adams gave a news conference Sunday morning at the Port Authority where he greeted an incoming bus of around 40 migrants — only 14 of whom disembarked in the Big Apple. https://nypost.com/2022/08/05/nyc-mayor-adams-request-photos-of-city-job-applicants-to-increase-diversity/ Adams asks for photos of city job applicants in effort to increase diversity: report Mayor Eric Adams is collecting headshots of potential city workers in a thinly-veiled effort to increase diversity, according to a new report. Adams has requested city agencies to provide photographs of potential hires to City Hall as candidates go through the interview process for city jobs ranging from assistant commissioner to departmental press secretary, Politico reported Thursday. Several unnamed city officials told the outlet that the request is clearly an effort to hire more diverse staffers. However, Adams maintains that it will merely help him recognize his employees in the sprawling city workforce. “Everyone knew what it was. There was no question. It was the first thing everybody said: ‘We’re going to start counting complexions now,’” one recently-departed City Hall employee told Politico. The majority of the officials interviewed by the outlet — who requested anonymity to speak freely about the internal measure — said they supported a more diverse workforce but worried the practice is already causing the Adams administration to make hiring decisions with a greater emphasis on race and ethnicity than merit. Compounding the issue, nearly every official Politico spoke to also said the headshot request created another snag in the drawn-out hiring process — straying away from the mayor’s signature motto of “get stuff done” at a time when city job vacancies are unusually high. About 8 percent of municipal jobs were vacant as of April, according to data from the Citizens Budget Commission. Politico obtained emails sent by the mayor’s team to about a dozen high-ranking officials at other city agencies asking them to submit headshots of people they hope to employ for Adam’s own review. One official said they were verbally told that Adams wanted agencies to hire people who “reflect the constituencies we serve.” Hiring managers aren’t expected to ask job candidates for headshots, but instead grab photos from social media sites like LinkedIn to appease the mayor’s request, two sources told Politico. https://www.outkick.com/jon-gruden-email-leak-hit-job-agent/ JON GRUDEN’S AGENT BELIEVES FORMER COACH’S EMAILS BEING LEAKED WAS A HIT JOB: ‘HE’S NOT A RACIST’ We’re approaching the one-year mark since Jon Gruden was forced to resign as the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders following a scandal involving an email leak, but his agent is still going to bat for his client, now calling it “a hit job.” Gruden stepped down as the Raiders’ head coach in October of 2021 after emails directed at NFL commissioner Roger Goodell were leaked that contained racist and homophobic comments. The emails were discovered in what was a league investigation into the Washington Commanders’ workplace culture. An email reportedly implied that Gruden was annoyed that the NFL forced the then St. Louis Rams to draft “queers,” which is a reference to the team drafting Michael Sam in 2014. Gruden reportedly sent an email making fun of the size of NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith’s lips. “Dumboriss Smith has lips the size of Michelin tires,” the email from 2011 reportedly read. The collection of emails dated back to Gruden’s time at ESPN, before he joined the Raiders for his second stint as head coach. With the original investigation not directly pointed at Gruden, his agent Bob LaMonte is convinced the NFL was simply out to get his client. “I can tell you right now that was a hit job,” Bob LaMonte told JoeBucsFan.com. “Why now, of all things, does that come out in an investigation that had already gone away? It was 10 years ago. And then why Jon and why the Raiders? He wasn’t even in the league at the time of those e-mails…That’s the tragedy of it. You can say what you want, but if anyone really understands Jon, they know he’s not a racist. That’s quite obvious.” LaMonte’s comments about Gruden echo those of legendary college football broadcaster, Brent Musburger, who was also the former radio broadcaster for the Raiders. Report: Raiders Brent Musburger Breaks Silence on Jon Gruden- Play 2:40 - 5:29 Gruden has since filed a lawsuit against the NFL and Goodell as he believes the league sought to ruin his career and make an example of him. The NFL looked to dismiss the case, but a judge denied that ask. Now, let’s end things on more of a positive or interesting note, because not everything is bad news out there: https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/eyes-up-for-perseid-meteor-shower-and-saturn-show/ The PUR-SEE-IDS meteor shower is one of the best shows all year for “shooting stars”. Though the Perseids have been active since July 14, the frequency of meteors hurtling through the sky is now heating up this week. In fact, Perseids can produce up to 150 meteors per hour under dark skies! Scientists say the peak time to view this shower will be on the night of Thursday, August 11 & Friday the 12th. The full moon that night may make it tougher to spot the meteors, so train your eyes toward the darker areas and watch closely. This week is also one of the best times to see the ringed planet of Saturn in dramatic fashion. On Sunday, August 14, the giant world will line up with the Earth and the Sun. The alignment is called an “opposition.” Saturn will be closer to Earth than it has been in more than a year. If you want a peek at the planet, look for a golden yellow light shining steadily in the east after sunset. With binoculars, you may even see the spectacular Saturn rings.

Brad says he's disappointed that the NFLPA is disappointed w/ the appeals process regarding DeShaun Watson. He said they agreed to the CBA and knew how this could play out. Brad says that Jimmy G could still wind up in Cleveland. Brad thinks the Browns would be a playoff team with Garoppolo. On Johnson: "This is a slam dunk, home run deal for Omar Khan...It should make Steelers fans optimistic about the future." Brad thinks Pickens could be one of the steals of the draft. He doesn't think Trubisky will be a starter past this year in Pittsburgh. He thinks that the Steelers could MAYBE get a 6th round pick for Mason Rudolph.

Former Buccaneers GM Mark Dominik joined First Up to chat about Deshaun Watson's suspension and the effects of the appeal for an entire season on the Browns and Watson, where the CBA comes into play for Watson possibly wanting to sue, Mark's choice on the Christian McCaffery and Derrick Henry bet between AK and Carlo, and his surprising hot takes upon the start of the NFL campaign.

The NFLPA filed its reply brief in the appeal of Deshaun Watson's six-game suspension and now all eyes are on Peter C. Harvey, the former prosecutor designated by Roger Goodell to hear the appeal. What does it mean for Watson and the Browns? How is Kevin Stefanski preparing his quarterback in the case Watson is suspended for the year -- or could play Week 1 if this goes to federal court?

NFL Training camp rolls on as the first preseason game approaches and The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for not only their first games of the year, but also for roster cuts. The field will be cut down to a 52 man roster, even veteran Eagles like Jalen Reagor are hoping that they will survive and make it through to Week 1. Some other names that have captured the attention of not only the media but also the fans all come from the Eagles Defense; James Bradberry, Jordan Davis and Marcus Epps. These 3 have been making plays and making names for themselves, but is it enough for them to stay with the Eagles? Deshaun Watson is back in the headlines this week as Judge Sue L Robinson passed down a 6 game suspension. In response, the NFL has exercised their option to appeal the decison. Now the NFL and the NFLPA are gearing up for a legal battle. Will Watson be able to start the season? Will he have to sit out longer? Or will the original ruling stand? The NFL has set a precedent of “light” penalties in the past, most recently with the suspension of Dolphins owner Stephen Ross after it was revealed that Ross and his Vice Chairman Bruce Beal violated the anti-tampering policy 3 separate times from 2019-2022 in conversations with New England Patriots and Tampa BayBuccaneers Quarterback Tom Brady and former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton

WARNING: Sensitive Language and Topics *** Former Houston Texans Quarterback Deshaun Watson has been through both the American criminal and civil legal systems, but nowhere was the deck stacked quite so highly against him than it was respect to the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell. What did his union (the NFLPA) agree to in respect of disciplinary proceedings and why should every NFL player be concerned with how this action is likely to be concluded? And why do concerns about process not end simply because the person is "bad"? With all this smoke and mirrors Roger Goodell might as well be called David Copperfield...in Virtual Legality.

The sports stove has a few things percolating as we're into a new month. I'll serve up a high dosage of what you need as the latest episode has arrived. On deck: (4:30) Coming off of an epic MLB trade deadline, I'll dissect the blockbuster trade by San Diego bringing in Juan Soto to their ballclub. Could the Padres possibly have three players worth over a BILLION dollars in contracts at the same time? What about the Yankees and how they've added to their roster? Also, what could plague them come October? The Dodgers weren't big time players in making transactions to solidify a couple of key spots on their team. I'll break down what some of the other playoff contenders have done, go through both leagues wild card scenarios, a division battle set this weekend between the Braves & Mets. A tribute to a broadcasting legend, Vin Scully. And thoughts on the last two episodes of The Captain, the ESPN documentary on Derek Jeter, that you may find intriguing. (39:47) Deshaun Watson's suspension has finally come down to where an arbiter handed down six games for him to sit out at the start of the 2022 season. Thing is, the NFL has appealed that the suspension should be harsher. The Players Association was hoping that the league would've stood pat. Will this be a fight to the bitter end? How much will Watson get when it's all said and done? The Miami Dolphins were docked a first round draft pick next year, fined and their owner, Stephen Ross, was suspended for tampering violations against Tom Brady and former Saints coach, Sean Payton. Was this penalty warranted? (48:15) In an interview this week, Greg Norman shouted out Tiger Woods as he allegedly passed up $700-$800 million from the LIV Golf Tour. Is Tiger in the wrong for not jumping to where the money is? Speaking of LIV, Phil Mickelson, among nine other golfers. are filing an antitrust lawsuit against the PGA so they can play in the upcoming FedEx Cup Playoffs. How will the PGA handle this now and moving forward?

Dan Lust is joined by Mike Lawson and our resident DA, Matt Tympanick (@TympanickLaw) to break down the latest in the Sports Law world. Deshaun Watson's punishment has finally been decided (for now). (2:15) Judge Sue Robinson issued her ruling Monday August 1 at 830am and found the NFL met their burden that Watson violated the personal conduct policy. The punishment for Watson is 6 games. The NFL has until Thursday August 4 to file an appeal, as the NFLPA has issued a statement that they will not be filing an appeal. If the NFL appeals, it would be reviewed by Commissioner Roger Goodell to make a decision on increasing the punishment. At that point, the NFLPA could appeal to Federal Court. Watson has also settled three more civil cases, which leaves one remaining civil case. Stephen Ross and the Dolphins were found to have violated the NFL anti-tampering policy with their impermissible communcations with Tom Brady and Sean Payton. (32:34) Stephen Ross and Bruce Beal (co-owner of Dolphins) participated in impermissible contact twice with Tom Brady, the first when he was with the Patriots in 2019-2020 and the second violation when he was with the Buccaneers in 2021, and impermissible contact once with Sean Payton in 2022 before he retired from the Saints. Ross is suspended for 6 weeks and suspended $1.5 million. Dan Snyder testified before the Congressional House Oversight Committee virtually for 11 hours. (46:26) The deposition was conducted behind closed doors, and it does not appear that the testimony will be released.  *** Have a topic you want to write about?

When they're not using their athletic powers on the field, NFL players, like today's guest, are finding ways to serve as superheroes for their communities. This week, we are joined by Michael Thomas, a fellow Stanford graduate and one of the NFL Player Association's most active players, both on and off the field, having played with the San Francisco 49ers, the Miami Dolphins, the New York Giants, the Houston Texans, and the Cincinnati Bengals over the course of his decade-long career. Throughout his time with the NFL, Mike has always been an active community member, creating the Big Plays for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami, being named NFLPA Community MVP in both 2015 and 2016 for his youth mentorship initiatives, and hosting ‘Camp Mike T' to expose kids to unique opportunities for financial literacy and college prep programs. He also formed part in the NFLPA's 2018 and 2019 Externship classes, during which he worked closely with Representative Sheila Jackson Lee to learn more about the political process on Capitol Hill. Tuning in, you'll gain some insight into the journey behind Mike's many accomplishments and find out how he learned to use his own social justice activism to turn his protest into policy. We also touch on how he struggled academically before he learned to ask for help, the challenges he had to overcome in order to realize his dream of playing in the NFL, and the importance of having faith in yourself, as well as how he earned his reputation as one of the best Special Teams players in the NFL, plus so much more! Today's episode is No Straight Path's version of an ESPN 30 for 30 documentary with Mike Thomas, jam-packed with valuable lessons that you can apply in your own life.
