   Back in November, Arizona Cardinals offensive line coach / run   
   game coordinator Sean Kugler was sent home from Mexico City, and   
   was subsequently fired a few days later head coach Kliff   
   Kingsbury and the organization.   
      
      
   The decision to send Kugler home from the game came following   
   allegations surfaced that he inappropriately touched a female   
   while traveling with the team.   
      
   Well earlier this week, the law firm of Shields Petitti   
   representing Kugler, filed a request for arbitration.   
      
   The law firm's release calls the allegations made against their   
   client as flat out false, and state that the Cardinals dismissed   
   Kugler without a thorough investigation and without interviewing   
   him about the alleged incident.   
      
   "The allegations against Coach Kugler are simply untrue and have   
   caused Sean, his wife and family enormous personal and   
   professional damage," stated Michael Petitti, Shields Petitti.   
   "Coach and his family have been desperate to understand from the   
   Cardinals front office and others what rationale or evidence was   
   used to terminate him for cause."   
      
   Kugler's statement in the press release largely what you would   
   expect in this type of situation, but take note of the part   
   we've decided to bold.   
      
   "Respecting women is a core value for me, and something I have   
   instilled in my children and the players that I coach," Coach   
   Kugler stated. "The mysterious allegations by the Cardinals are   
   untrue, and I want to clear my name. Be it a miscommunication or   
   mistaken identity, my family and I will cooperate fully and   
   honestly with the NFL, Cardinals, or any other agency to get to   
   the truth in this matter and restore my reputation. There are   
   incredible people that work in the game – from league level to   
   my players, fellow coaches, and incredible support staff. I   
   simply want to get back to doing what I love, and would like my   
   family to have peace."   
      
   Surely the intentional mention of "miscommunication or mistaken   
   identity" was no accident. Could this be a case of mistaken   
   identity?   
      
   Well, it's ironic that is mentioned when you look at the   
   circumstances that followed the suit.   
      
   On December 14th, the same exact day that the Shields Petitti   
   law firm filed the Request for Arbitration, Cardinals GM Steve   
   Keim decides to take a leave of absence, citing health-related   
   reasons. Seems odd, right? Maybe it's a mere coincidence.   
      
   Looking at the below photos of Kugler and Keim side-by-side,   
   could Kugler's mention of possible mistaken identity have some   
   merit to it?   
      
   For what it's worth, Ian Rapoport shares the following from the   
   Cardinals:   
      
   "As an ongoing legal matter, we are going to refrain from   
   comment other than to say that the team is confident the process   
   will result in a much different set of facts than those   
   presented today and that it had good cause to terminate Mr.   
   Kugler’s employment."   
      
   Taking the timeline mentioned account, you be the judge. Until a   
   full, and thorough investigation into the matter happens, we   
   won't know for sure.   
      
   Until then, stay tuned to The Scoop for the latest
