Mr. WEO

this sums it up

He alleges they decided not to resign him only after asking him if he was in alignment with the NFL. His agent is listed as the person the VP told the reassurance about his renewal previously. Certainly doesn’t sound like it just dawned them that they didn’t want him anymore…or that they secretly hated him and were just messing with him when they initially told him not to worry. That makes zero sense. it’s clear you don’t understand that

The suit doesn't allege he asked for or was turned down for "a senior management position". So, no. One minute it's raining...the next minute it's not----you're right!! I can't tell if you are pretending not to understand the lawsuit or you really can't figure out that sequence of events. I'm not saying he wins the suit, but I'm pretty sure that NFL Media's law team will not tell VP's and other management to say what you suggested above while being deposed. They would get torn up. And he asked Goodell mostly because he's the Commissioner and the public face of the League. Your claim that he is not involved in the hiring of any staff--literally has "no say" how. NFL Media is run is....pretty funny--but exactly what I would expect you would say/believe.

88% of Davis's catches were for 1st downs or TDs.

They say they can't think of "a reason" why they would not renew. He asks Goodell a question he asked a year ago. This prompts the same VP who told asked him if he wanted an expanded role in his next contract to now ask if he "was in alignment with the NFL" (wink wink). He restates his concerns and beliefs. He is soon notified that they weren't renewing---i.e. they found a reason to contradict their previous reassurance about his contract. Does that make it more clear for you? No?

For those who still refuse to read what the suit is about: "Despite the disagreement, Trotter, who was employed by the NFL Network for five years, had expected to be offered a contract extension this spring. According to the complaint, Sandra Nunez, a vice president who oversees the NFL Network's on-air talent, told Trotter’s agent last November that she “could not envision any reason why his contract would not be renewed” in March 2023, and asked if he wanted to expand his role. But in February, just before the Super Bowl, Trotter asked Commissioner Goodell at a news conference about the league’s commitment to diversity and why a Black person had never been hired as a senior manager in NFL Network’s newsroom. The question was similar to one Trotter had asked Goodell at the previous season’s Super Bowl news conference. The next day, according to Trotter’s complaint, his supervisor asked one of his colleagues: “Why does Jim keep bringing this up?” At the beginning of March, Trotter claims F.Nunez asked if he was “in alignment” with the N.F.L., to which he replied that he was not in alignment with a newsroom without “Black representation in decision-making positions.” On March 24, Nunez told Trotter’s agent that Trotter’s contract was not being renewed." There it is..THAT is why he is suing the NFL. He/she works for the NFL... obviously.

He didn't get laid off. Has no one read this complaint? Or any of the many press reports of why he filed the suit? Of course not---why read it?

by whom? that's incorrect. I was responding to the hypothetical the poster posted. Have someone help you with the reading.

It wasn't in a footnote. It's article 5 in what appears to be the complaint's bill of particulars. #6 is the alleged direct quote of Jones. So which "3rd world countries" might Pegula perhaps have said "something to the effect of" when referring the black NFL players as places they might otherwise live to compare freedoms? Bolivia? Laos? Bangladesh?

tell us what his short pass stats are

there already was an NFL investigation...yet here we are...

lol this has to be sarcasm. each suggestion more laughable than the last

Worst voted COTY since Jauron. Tanked second half of the season. Ass into playoff game. Beat worst D in the league. Wake up week 1 2023 and Jones is still their QB. Get humiliated by the Cowboys, at home....

Daboll has no magic. He was gifted the #3 QB in the NFL. Now, with a bum at QB, he's exposed.

Pegula isn't party to the suit. A jury will be asked to decide if the NFL retaliated (I guess?) against Trotter and backed out of some verbal deal to renew his contract based on what he asked Goodell multiple times in public (NOT related to Pegula comments). Not sure why everyone keeps assuming otherwise. Doesn't matter fort Pegula anyway--the plaintiff will be deposed under oath, Pegs never will. He can simply deny he said it as he has and no one will challenge him legally. People will believe him or not. He faces no consequences for denying if he actually said it. What else would he do?

I was expecting W2's and 1099's....

Can we not cheapen the losses the Topps massacre families suffered by bizarrely lumping it in to excuses for the Bills not showing up the for Bengals game last year? for chrissakes. it's disgusting.

Alas....who will tell McD to "be smarter"?

Orlovski was the Colts tank for Luck. Anyway, what is he talking about? "grow up"?

lol

I've never considered that under amateur sports I guess.

Bengals certainly could not use a decent OT...

Fair enough. The point also could be made that he didn't speak publicly when he first heard this indirectly about Pegula and directly from Jones. He gave the NFL a chance to do something about it. What they did was refuse to renew his contract.

How would he realize he was mistaken so that he may admit it? The story is he heard Pegula say it. Pegula can only deny it.

Florio didn't break this story. Every media outlet broke it and quoted the same sensation parts of the suit. No one "excreated" it If they are true, they bolster his case. Why would he exclude them? Which quote did he reference in his press conference question to Goodell?
