He's known as the king of the arbitrators. Sam Kagel is constantly on call to handle arbitrations for nurses, canners, grocers, retailers and newspaper publishers. He has been the lead arbitrator -- and one of only three nationwide -- in non-injury cases for the National Football League for 24 years. Now he's involved in one of the most-talked-about disputes in sports -- the Detroit Lions' demand that former star running back Barry Sanders repay $5.5 million of an $11 million signing bonus.

A white cap with red letters hangs on a coat rack in Sam Kagel’s comfortably cluttered fourth-floor office in San Francisco’s historic Flatiron Building.
Barely visible amid mountains of paper and overshadowed by walls covered with weathered news photos of the longtime arbitrator at work, the cap commemorates the 50th anniversary of “Bloody Thursday,” a pivotal event in Kagel’s life.
