Depp Verdict; Joc Slapped; Watson #23; and Snyder Invited

The Dans are back to bring you the latest at the intersection of sports and the law.

However, they start at the intersection of entertainment and the law first. (4:40) Johnny Depp's defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard and Heard's counter defamation suit against Depp has come to a verdict.

Deshaun Watson has a 23rd civil complaint filed against him. (15:12) When will the NFL issue a suspension? Or will they wait until cases have settled? 

Tommy Pham slaps Joc Pedersen over fantasy football issues. (25:11) Pham claims Joc stashed ineligible players on his IR roster spot and that his money was at stake. Pham also called out Mike Trout for being "the worst commissioner in fantasy sports." Pham was suspended 3 games by the MLB. This leads to the ultimate question: should professional athletes be allowed to gamble on sports at all?

Dan Snyder may testify before the Congressional House Oversight Committee on June 22, 2022. (36:14) Along with Dan Snyder will be Roger Goodell's testimony. The Committee sent letters to both Snyder and Goodell requesting their presence to testify and have not yet subpoened either of them.
