The NFL's defense, as Nash kept pointing out in the face of a double-team of repeated hostile questioning by Berman and dramatic presentations by Kessler, is that it doesn't matter if the league's system is terrible, unfair, nonsensical, rooted in bias or, at its core, heavy-handed. Since it was collectively bargained with the union, league commissioner Roger Goodell can, in theory, be completely wrong based on the inaccurate findings of a bad investigation and no one can do anything about it. "We had a hearing and the commissioner gave a verdict that is final and binding," Nash said.
