NFL: The players union filed a lawsuit against the NFL on behalf of three players suspended in connection with the bounty investigation, calling commissioner Roger Goodell "incurably and evidently biased."
The suit was filed by the NFL Players Association on behalf of Will Smith, Scott Fujita, and Anthony Hargrove in U.S. District Court in New Orleans. It claims Goodell violated the league's labor agreement by showing he had predetermined the guilt of players punished in the bounty probe before serving as the arbitrator for their June 18 appeal.
The NFL responded that the action is an "improper attempt to litigate" and said there is "no basis for asking a federal court to put its judgment in place of the procedures agreed upon with the NFLPA in collective bargaining."
