The NFL sent a confidential and detailed memo to all 32 teams detailing its findings. It revealed that the Saints had not only targeted Warner and Favre during the 2009 playoffs, but had also targeted Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton during the 2011 regular season.[21] According to that memo, Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma offered $10,000 cash to any teammate who knocked Favre out of the NFC Championship Game.[
Lmao this is the hill you still wanna die on eh.

Ya paying players to have ppl carted off with injuries is no big deal
Do you mean imaginary people carted off with injuries?
The Saints were I believe 2nd lowest in the NFL in defensive 15 yard penalties for unnecessary roughness or those flagrant types of penalties, but don't let those pesky facts get in the way of you getting duped by Goodell!!!

Would this be in the 25,000 pages of evidence the NFL claimed to have that when the Saints players took them to court somehow the NFL could only produce about 50 pages of evidence, of which most was just Powerpoint Slides of assumptions made by the NFL without, ya know, evidence...is that what you mean?
And is this the same case that was soooooooo egregious that the moment Saints players fought back the NFL did something they've never done before and will never do again and just decided to drop the suspensions for quite literally no reason other than to just let it go as the further they went in the court process the more it was proven the NFL had shit to actually back up their claims?

Goodell says not so fast my friend!
Goodell hires the independent arbitrater to hand down the suspension. Goodell doesn't like the suspension handed down. The NFL appeals said suspension.
And who will hear that appeal and make the ruling? Well, Roger Goodell of course.

It really is one of the dumbest setups I've seen. I'm fairly indifferent on the Watson situation. But if he comes in and does something drastically different here, it just undermines the whole process and pisses off the PA. Will make for a rough road on future negotiations.

NFL teams have been forced to forfeit their 1st round pick 3 times in league history.
Tom Brady has been involved in all 3 instances.
SpyGate, DeflateGate, and the Dolphins tampering. The SpyGate one is a bit flimsy though, not directly on Brady I'd think.

Goodell wants 1 year for Watson.
He's gonna get involved and fuck this entire thing up and turn it into a year long appeal and lawsuit, isn't he?
It doesn't use the full rosters, so it's almost too easy if you look at rosters and narrow it down.
Tip: Yellow on height, weight, and number must mean you're very close
Spoiler!
AJ Brown - Had height, weight, age all up with no match on anything (didn't actually know at the moment that was a thing too)
Patrick Ricard - Was looking for an older LB, so split the difference with going up to a DL. This locked AFC North and age, with height slightly up and # way up.
Looked for Jack Conklin on the Browns, he wasn't there. Clowney wasn't there. Went to the Bengals, matched the age, everything else lined up... Hayden Hurst
