Aren't such words, coming from any judge rather prejudicial if not alarming? Her words seems totally out of line and, it seems, lay the basis for an appeal should she rule in the Saints favor.


I agree. The NFL should ask for a recusal if they can't work this out. I know that judges often privately suggest how they intend to rule, but this judge has apparently transcended impartiality.
