Hopefully this will change the Broncos' luck in KC...maybe a construction worker will bury a Denver jersey somewhere. A Boston fan buried a Red Sox jersey in the new Yankee Stadium as it was being built (it was unearthed by the Steinbrenner's at great expense), and the Sox have not yet lost to the Yanks this year...

Those that cant coach, compete!
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
All I want is 53 Rod Smiths. Is that asking too much????

This case, referred to above AP – Supreme Court will hear antitrust case over team merchandise will have far-reaching consequences for the league and other business agreements among legal entities. I’m excited that the Supreme Court has agreed to hear this case. The NFL appealed the case only because of portions of the 7th Circuit opinion.

For a good, if biased, overview of the original litigation up through the 7th Circuit opinion, see http://www.kentlaw.edu/7cr/v4-1/gunderson.pdf

For the NFL petition for US Supreme Court review, see http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/08-661_pet.pdf
For the NFL brief, see http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/08-661_cert_amicus_nba.pdf
For the DOJ & FTC amicus brief, see http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/cases/f246500/246555.htm
Lower Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, Case #07-4006, August 18, 2008. See http://www.ca7.uscourts.gov/tmp/OS0O6E6J.pdf
American Needle has not filed any brief. They don’t need to. The NFL is seeking clarification and therefore a more “sweeping decision”, by having the Supreme Court address the 7th Circuit’s decision.

This is potentially a very big antitrust case.
