A couple nights ago (the night before the Patriots released the Wells Report in Context) it looked like the NFL network was backtracking a bit and supporting the Pats somewhat. I think they doubled down on their efforts to slander the Patriots after they went rogue and released their own report.I guess people in espn, nfl network is saying "if theres nothing to hide goodell must hire an independent judge for the appeal" right?
Or you are afraid or hiding something only if you are part of the patriots.
That's why it's important to win and have everything reversed. THEN YOU GO AFTER THEM FOR DEFAMATION. TBs brand and right to earn have been destroyed forever. TB will be retiring in a few years. They've tarnished his image, BIG TIME. From leaks from the NFL and punishing TB with innuendo and assumption, without facts. Brady has been the ideal face of the NFL. And having all of his fellow players, that are all overflowing with "INTEGRITY" pointing their hypocritical, jealous fingers at him. If I were Brady I would settle for nothing less than total exoneration and monetary reimbueursment.In my opinion, no one should be looking at any of this with the hope that either media opinion or public opinion will be changed regardless of the final outcome. Everyone's minds are made up forever. Verdict: guilty, no matter what happens going forward.
And is already on record that he approves of the punishment. Doesn't sound independent to me.Either way the pats are screwed. It is just beyond comical that that the guy who hired wells, read the report then made a historical penalty against Brady and the team gets to hear the appeal. This is whole ordeal looks like it was ripped from the WWE.

Based on Goodell's choice of himself, TB12 can decide to bypass the arbitration process altogether.The Brady camp has no choice in the matter. Goodell has the unilateral right to name the arbitrator.

I very much doubt that. Until the NFL's internal red tape process has run to completion, courts will dismiss a case challenging the punishment as "unripe".
Brady needs it to happen. This will reinforce their contention that the league is biased and has no intention of this being exposed as a sting, entrapment and slander. The courts will eat that up. TB is given no fair ground to prove his side. And where the hell is the investigation into the other teams, NFL employees, etc...? No phone records, no interviews... This is a conspiracyBased on Goodell's choice of himself, TB12 can decide to bypass the arbitration process altogether.

Wells himself, at his presser, said he never asked for the phone, just records of texts that were relevant to the case. Maybe TB had none he felt were relevant.... i keep hearing Brady's phone brought up ... NFL/Wells had those 2 poor souls phones, why do they need Brady's. DO people understand how phones work, send/receive the whole thing!??! People can't be this stupid can't they!?!?!? Unreal
