"Former Cardinals Executive Terry McDonough Files Defamation Lawsuit Against Team Owner"

Former Cardinals executive Terry McDonough, along with his wife and daughter, has filed a civil complaint against Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill and others, making strong allegations including retaliation, hiring a PR firm to spread lies, and defamation. The complaint also accuses Bidwill of admitting to harmful intent, lying under oath, and violating terms of a suspension. The NFL has not responded to inquiries about potential discipline for Bidwill and the Cardinals, despite an arbitrator's ruling in McDonough's favor. The new litigation aims to further highlight the defamation and rule violations.

"Arizona Cardinals Ordered to Pay Terry McDonough $3 Million for Defamation"

An NFL arbitrator has ruled that the Arizona Cardinals must pay former executive Terry McDonough $3 million for making "false and defamatory" comments about him, with the owner and organization found to have defamed McDonough "with malice." The ruling awarded McDonough $2.25 million for punitive damages, $600,000 for emotional distress, and $150,000 for harm to his reputation. The Cardinals accepted responsibility for the statement and are grateful that the arbitration is now resolved, while also dismissing McDonough's other claims. The workplace culture under owner Michael Bidwill has come under scrutiny, and McDonough's dismissal followed his discomfort with using "burner" phones to communicate with a suspended general manager.

The Arizona Cardinals have been ordered to pay former executive Terry McDonough $3 million for defamation after falsely accusing him of abandoning responsibility for his daughter and extreme domestic violence. The ruling raises questions about potential discipline for owner Michael Bidwill and the team under the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy, as well as the use of burner phones to communicate during a suspension. The intentional defaming of McDonough and the violation of Keim's suspension warrant scrutiny and potential punishment, highlighting potential double standards in the league's approach to personal conduct.

"Cardinals Ordered to Pay Terry McDonough $3 Million in Defamation Case"

Terry McDonough's arbitration victory against the Cardinals includes a $3 million payment to him, but also requires him to pay the team $45,000 - $25,000 in attorneys' fees and $20,000 for breaching a confidentiality order. The ruling sheds light on the NFL's secretive arbitration process, with McDonough's lawyer criticizing the league's obsession with confidentiality. The $20,000 sanction stems from emails McDonough sent to a member of the media, which were not opened or responded to, raising questions about the fairness of the decision.

Cardinals to Pay Former Executive $3M in Defamation Damages

The Arizona Cardinals have been ordered to pay former team executive Terry McDonough $3 million for making "false and defamatory" statements about him, including allegations of spousal abuse and neglecting his disabled daughter. While McDonough sought a larger sum in court, he was awarded $150,000 in general damages, $600,000 for emotional distress, and $2.25 million in punitive damages. The court found the Cardinals' statements to be false, and while McDonough's claim of being prevented from becoming an NFL general manager was not supported, the team's conduct was deemed deserving of punishment.

Ex-Cardinals VP accuses owner of cheating, NFL remains silent.

Former Arizona Cardinals executive Terry McDonough has made allegations against former Cardinals coach Steve Wilks in his arbitration claim against the team. McDonough claims that Wilks was aware of and objected to the alleged burner-phone scheme for contacting former Cardinals GM Steve Keim during his suspension in 2018. Wilks has declined to comment through his lawyers in his pending lawsuit against the Cardinals. The NFL has confirmed receipt of the claim but has no further comment. McDonough's decision to submit to the league's preferred forum will make it harder for him to win and for anyone to know much about how the case unfolds.
