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.

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.

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.

Exactly. Not reporting it is serious stuff.

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.

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.

1/32 of them aren't. That makes the league subject to the same reporting regulations as anyone else.

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.

Don't worry....he does not have any

Didn't we try to land TG a few years ago, or is this deja vu??

 

Nah.....that was SG....Stan Gable

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.

Packers are publicly held. So, by virtue of being in the NFL, I think SOX applies league wide. This is a toughie.

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.
