1) What do you think of the NFL's chances of getting the decision overturned on appeal, based purely on the judge's reasoning (i.e. excluding the "it depends on who's selected" factor)? It seems to me that Berman's decision didn't make any obvious errors, but what do you think?

2) Do you think judge Berman's inclusion of grounds on which he declined to rule (last full page of the decision) indicate that, if the case is remanded, he'll pursue those angles as further reasons to vacate?

A coin would actually be better - Munson has a great talent for being exactly wrong

a) Isn't the arbitrator not being neutral automatically grounds for vacatur under 9 USC Sec 10 ("evidently partial")?

b) The Feely incident was mentioned in both the NFL and NFLPA filings (citations are in the opinion). So that info was admissible, not new information.
