I honestly believe he could sue the league and win.  They are doing everything possible to take his livelihood away from him.  It's not just honest, good faith mistakes.  It's a concerted effort.

Perhaps what we're saying isn't as far apart as we think?

I think had he cleaned up his act sooner it may have avoided a lot of this. I realize in life we can only control from the present forward though.

The bad thing that I see is the appeals. They appeal the cases and it doesn't get overturned. And I agree the KC hit...while unnecessary didn't look particularly dirty.
