Jurisprudence

The method an economist used to calculate the money that restricted free agents lost in 1989 and 1990 under the NFL’s free agency system was attacked again by an attorney for the league.

Frank Rothman spent two hours Tuesday and about five hours Wednesday picking at economist Michael Glassman’s method for devising a study of the effects Plan B has had on restricted free agents.

Glassman was the last witness called by the players in the five-week-old antitrust trial in Minneapolis.

The NFL is to begin calling its defense witnesses today, starting with Commissioner Paul Tagliabue.
