I think that's precisely the point--I think he's going to tell the other owners at their next meeting that he cannot live with this witch hunt and this draconian punishment and that if the owners don't walk it back somehow he's suing the ever living shit out of the league for some kind of breach of contract claim against the league based on Goodell's actions and the complaint is going to be filed publicly and it will make NFL headquarters look like a bunch of assholes .
The owners' meeting:
DON CORLEONE
Ah well, let's get down to business.
We are all honorable men here, we
don't have to give assurances as if
we were lawyers.
(he sits, gazes out
at them, and sighs)
How did things ever go so far?
Well, no matter. A lot of
foolishness has come to pass. It
was so unfortunate, so unnecessary.
The VIEW examines the room once again, as the DON speaks. A
large, clicking board is changing numbers at various times,
and two tapes, showing the fluctuations of the Market during
the day's trading, and projected above.
DON CORLEONE pauses; and TOM HAGEN hands him a cold drink.
DON CORLEONE
Tattaglia has lost a son; I have
lost a son. We are quits. Let
there be a peace...
(he gestures
expressively,
submissively, with
his hands)
That is all I want...
