Wideman is just caught in the middle.

Seems like the arbitrator confirmed that Wideman was responsible for his actions, just that he didn't mean to hurt the guy. IMO the league got 99% of the result they wanted, and it would be greedy to go for more at this point. Wideman sat 19 games, lost a ####load of money, and the ruling is that, concussed or not, he was responsible. What more is there?
