Its unconfirmed but local radio is reporting that Bruce Allen was overheard to say that the two teams are planning to fight their penalties.

Why wouldn't they?

Theres probably an unspoken rule about suing your fellow owners for collusion

Wasn't the no salary cap for last year an unspoken rule as well? No matter what everyone's intentions are or should be, unless something was written and they violated it I would appeal it too. Hell Ryan Braun got away with cheating.

As much as I really don't care for either team, especially their owners, I totally agree with them filing their grievance against the league and NFLPA. If it's an uncapped year and the teams can afford to pay gaudy money to their players for that year, do it. The gentleman's code goes out the window when regulations expire, IMO. This league is about winning, and getting the best people to help you. Hell, considering both teams sucked that year and missed the playoffs altogether that year and last year, despite having rediculous player payrolls, that should be punishment enough. They couldn't capitalize on their spending sprees and both teams probably regressed in that year.

Just like the Saints thing, it's not so much that they were the only ones, it's that they were warned and ignored it.

and the warning in this case literally meant nothing. they were warned that they had to partake in collusion. good luck defending that in court.
