Seems like a good part of the interaction may have been hand timed.

Yes! Here's the swag he wears every Gopher game day:

That's quite a statement from a guy who had to tell his wife and kids that a woman he had sex with at a closed restaurant was shaking him down for millions of dollars.

Unions aren't prohibited from working in concert with management so long as that collaboration is for the benefit of the members. Sports are an excellent example of this. For a time, it seemed that the highest-paid player in the NFL each year was last year's top draft pick. The union and the...

There isn't really anything more to say. You asked why the Vikings couldn't conspire with one of their players to evade the salary cap and then yell "antitrust" and try to sue the NFL if challenged. You were told why that wouldn't work. You pointed out that the Sherman Act has the word...

I've grown weary of trying to get you to see that you are wrong and I am trying to watch the basketball game. You seem to desperately want to believe that you have uncovered the secret that will bring down the NFL. I am satisfied to leave at this--you think you are correct and everyone else...

As a lifelong Gopher fan, I have never been to the Rose Bowl, but in many of the older stadiums I have been to the first few rows behind the benches are horrible seats because of the sight lines. In many places they are at field level and you can't see a thing with football players standing in...

Not even a Mich Ultra during a hot afternoon on the lake?

Hard to blame the marketing team for failing to capitalize on a marriage that didn't last three months. I heard back in the day that they had a big recruiting push scheduled for Williams Arena to coincide with the young couple's first wedding anniversary , but they didn't last that long. Rumor...

Certainly wouldn't have hurt for there to have been some foresight.

It appears that you post more than 5,000 times a year on this site (and under this moniker). If you feel that multiple posters misunderstand your intent, perhaps you should use some of your apparently endless amount of free time to examine why you are failing to communicate effectively. And...

You certainly don't need to. Anyone who reads your posts understands that you frequently write confidently about things that you are wrong about. My suggestion was that if you admitted that you were a bit out of your depth at the outset, you might receive more helpful responses. But it...

Yes! I am not sure how the college football world gets to that place, but for the sake of the sport, I hope that they find a way.

I understand that you aren't a lawyer and no one would care if you said "I don't understand the ins and outs of antitrust law, but why couldn't the Vikings sue the league to try to avoid the salary cap by characterizing a direct payment to one of their players as NIL?" That was really the...

What provision of antitrust law?

Under what theory is it "illegal"?

It does and, in this instance, it is. You tried to analogize the current state of NIL in college football to an effort by the Vikings to circumvent the NFL's collectively bargained salary cap. The circumstances are not analogous. The Vikings, the Wilfs and Kirk Cousins have all agreed to...

You think the contract between the NFL and the NFLPA is not enforceable because it is in violation of antitrust law? Why?

This is what I came to post. Jim Mitchell. Edited to include his obit for those too young to know who he was: Jim Mitchell

If you didn't want someone to answer your question, why did you ask it?
