I just don't understand how a League that has been dealing with Collective Bargaining for, what, 50 years, fails this utterly.

The fact the players not given copy of the game day operations manual - which outlines rules for inflation and penalties, also a key fact

NFL really only has themselves to blame as judge was only reviewing process with heavy deference to arbitrator. NFL's "process" is broken.

Translation: If they had a legit process, they could have had the decision they wanted. If they had followed precedent, they then could have amended rules to keep this from happening. Both better options than striking out.
