So long as it's not Spiro AgnewName correction............Alex Spiro, not Robert. Spiro has defended many NBA players in litigation against the leagie.

Julian Edelman's representatives argued Monday that mistakes made in testing and other processes led to the New England Patriots wide receiver's four-game suspension under the NFL's performance-enhancing substances policy, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported.
The arguments were made during an often contentious suspension appeal hearing in front of arbitrator Glenn Wong, Pelissero reported. A decision on Edelman's appeal isn't expected imminently, Pelissero added, and there's a chance it could come next week. A federal lawsuit remains an option for Edelman if the suspension isn't vacated.
According to reports, Glen Wong is an excellent arbitrator and in the past has ruled in favor of the defendants. He has no patience with any bullshit and will come down viciously if either side tries anything underhanded. If he suspects that the NFL mishandled any part of Edelman's test incorrectly, he will vacate the suspension and rip the NFL a new asshole.
I'm still trying to figure out how Tom Pelissero got his inside information. The hearing on Monday was closed to anyone and everyone outside of the legal people for Edelman, the NFL and NFLPA.
Sounds like the NFL's legal team has oral diarreah.
Part of me wants Jules to lose this, solely for the purpose of not winding up the trolls.
no troll. I think it will be that the NFL has laid down some suspensions without evidence. So to overturn one, is gonna just add to things, just MOTrolls will be there regardless... success breeds contempt.
u think edelmans bringing more than anything thats beeen brought against the nfl in the past? pats, steelers, cowboysThe NFL still hasn't been able to identify what they "think" might be an illegal substance. They don't know what it is, so they've made the decision to possibly suspend a player for having tiger penis powder in his urine. If they can't identify it it, it has to be bad. So a player has freeze dried afterbirth pwder in his urine and of course it's a PED.
Edelman has basically warned the NFL that their action is going to have to be defended in court.
What's going to be worse is the 'chain of command' or lack there of, is going to be blown wide open. Goodell and his boys better buy a couple of cases of KY.

Few things here...Why are you automatically assuming it was the NFL that has released private information? If what you are saying here is true then this sounds like the story telling of Edelman's side. If it was the NFL it would sound more in their favor so I'm sorry but this sounds more like a jaded Pats fan just hoping things go in his direction than anything based in fact.
Second, who cares if he went and hired a pitbull of a lawyer. Do you think the NFL only hires kittens to represent them? There is a reason they are pretty much undefeated in these cases because they have the best of the best lawyers that are not afraid to fight dirty.
Finally honestly while it might not be best for Edelman's checking account it honestly might be in his best interest to miss a few games and get healed up all the more. The Pats will be fine without him for a few games.
