Supreme Court Not NFL Football Fans

Slate has a fun and informative artice on a huge NFL related case that the U.S Supreme Court heard.

It also appears a couple of lawyers for both sides failed to call up college buddies that argue in front of the Court to learn how to act

This is one of those days in which the advocates seem to have forgotten that oral argument is not a contact sport. The justices' egos are built for croquet, not football. But whether it's Glen D. Nager (arguing on behalf of American Needle), who steps on Justice Stephen Breyer's words so many times that Breyer is forced to say, "I am asking a question here," or Gregg H. Levy (representing the NFL), who brazenly tells Justice Anthony Kennedy he "takes issue" with his hypothetical, neither lawyer seems to understand that arguing with the refs is never a winning strategy at the court.

Update - The actual transcript of the oral arguement is here
