ieatcrayonz Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Wikipedia Definition "The legislation establishes new or enhanced standards for all U.S. public company boards, management, and public accounting firms. It does not apply to privately held companies. " Not that Wikipedia is a definitive authority, but this is consistent with my understanding. So, unless he is traded to the Packers, it is not relevant. The NFL has an anti-trust exemption which puts it under the authority of the legislation. As usual Wikipedia is incomplete.
Beerball Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 whats the crime exactly? crossing state lines is what allows the feds to write a law governing that conduct, it is not a crime itself. In this instance we're talking about unreported interstate trade.
BeastMode54 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 There are also rumors that Gonzo will get traded to the Giants for a 5th rounder and Sinorice Moss. Moss was a healthy inactive yesterday so it has me wondering a little bit.
GG Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 In this instance we're talking about unreported interstate trade. Exactly. Not reporting it is serious stuff.
Chilly Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I heard Dick Jauron and JP Losman to the Chiefs for Herm Edwards and Tony Gonzalez.
ieatcrayonz Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I agree, even though you'd have to go all the way back to find a Buffalo-drafted second round bust (Travares Tillman). Ummmm.....The pregnant goose?
scribo Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Ummmm.....The pregnant goose? I shouldn't respond to this, but it is obviously not even close to fair to call Hardy a bust. And no one with even the smallest bit of football knowledge would seriously make such an assertion.
K Gun Special Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Exactly. Not reporting it is serious stuff. Not in this case. Sarbanes only applies to publically traded companies. You cant buy stock in the Bills or Chiefs so it doesnt apply. Theres no fedreal obligation for the Bills to report a trade of a players services, those are NFL rules. NFL teams are privately held.

Theres no fedreal obligation for the Bills to report a trade of a players services, those are NFL rules. NFL teams are privately held. 1/32 of them aren't. That makes the league subject to the same reporting regulations as anyone else.

Theres no fedreal obligation for the Bills to report a trade of a players services, those are NFL rules. NFL teams are privately held. It applies to the NFL due to the anti-trust exemption which makes them publically traded from a legal standpoint. The Bills and Chiefs are treated like holy owned subsidiaries.
WellDressed Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Didn't we try to land TG a few years ago, or is this deja vu??
EndZoneCrew Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 And no one with even the smallest bit of football knowledge would seriously make such an assertion. Don't worry....he does not have any
EndZoneCrew Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Didn't we try to land TG a few years ago, or is this deja vu?? Nah.....that was SG....Stan Gable
GG Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Nah.....that was SG....Stan Gable Uhm... Stan Gelbaugh
scribo Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Uhm... Stan Gelbaugh No, Stan Gable, the head of the Alpha Betas. But he married Betty and decided to raise a family rather than play in the NFL. Of course, he got the clap, raked over the coals in the divorce and is now waiting tables.

Theres no fedreal obligation for the Bills to report a trade of a players services, those are NFL rules. NFL teams are privately held. Packers are publicly held. So, by virtue of being in the NFL, I think SOX applies league wide. This is a toughie.
GG Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Do I studder nerd? Sorry, he decided to become a fag hag instead.
Lori Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 There are also rumors that Gonzo will get traded to the Giants for a 5th rounder and Sinorice Moss. Moss was a healthy inactive yesterday so it has me wondering a little bit. Guessing Moss was a healthy scratch because he stinks, not because he's getting traded, but I could be wrong. And if y'all keep jacking this thread, I reserve the right to start a new, BS-free one if/when we hear some new news.

If you take off those rose colored glasses you'll see that the emperor ain't wearin nuthin.
