But it would have been far more interesting to see an NFL ouster play out in the court system had Richardson not caved. Let's not forget the NFL has never had their hands forced. With JR, the league simply took him in a back room and twisted his arm a little- it never came to a formal convening of the Executive Committee for a vote.

As a matter of fact, the league went out of its way to issue a statement saying they were not forcing Richardson out.

I'm not even sure they twisted his arm.

Richardson had a really weird loyalty to the league. From the outside looking in, it seemed pretty one-sided.

Doesn't seem like he ever saw it that way though.

Fair enough and I am willing to concede that there may be a few instances of when an NDA is ethical and necessary - but I am also an advocate of transparency and protecting workers. 
 

NDAs used by wealthy people/corps to protecting themselves stuffing money in someone’s mouth to cover up illegal, unethical, and shady activities need to 100% be illegal in this country. But everyone knows rich people play by a different set of rules. 

NDAs are really common. I sign one probably once every couple months or so.

In this case, you have a situation of "here's $1.6 million to sign this NDA." She had a choice. Was it shitty, yeah of course, but still a choice nonetheless. Perhaps there should be a law that NDA's are void if used to cover up a crime.

I primarily get sent documents via email, so it's very rare that I don't edit the NDA's before signing and returning. Has never been noticed yet.

No they dont... intellectual property is not a real thing.

NDAs are about confidentiality. It’s not always about intellectual property.

The first NDA I ever signed was when I worked in my Dads friends law firm as an errand runner. The NDA kept me from talking about any juicing and personal stuff I read, saw, heard about clients and their cases. Important in child and family law.

Again, NDAs are perfect for specific situations. 

When something is broken, you don’t have to throw the entire thing out. You can just fix what’s broken and keep what works.

Your dad's friend violated attorney client privilege by letting you read, see or hear anything about clients and their cases.

He didn't say they let him do anything, but you can accidentally see and hear a lot of things just walking around law offices.

(my brother and his wife both worked for attorneys)

What he signed sounds like a "just in case" type document.

It was in Raleigh. Run by 8 UNC law grads.

I was often in court (closed hearings) getting stuff for people, serving subpoenas sometimes, bringing stuff in and out of conference rooms when stuff was being discussed, filing tons of paperwork, making copies, ect. 


It was a small shop. I saw a lot. Just accept there are areas of life you don’t know a much about.

Now I was making $9 hour at the time so there wasn’t much they could realistically do if I made something public about Mr big shot’s divorce and custody fight, but I understand why that stuff is needed sometimes.

These days I work with companies that put years of their lives creating something and they don’t want some idiot contractor like me selling their hard won ideas/strategies/tactics/customer lists/financial info/ect to competitors.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
