My fear is that Goodell will vacate Brady's suspension and give him nothing to litigate. Is that a realistic concern or would Brady have a case even with his suspension revoked?
It's imperative that the players association reject Goodell as arbitrator
I keep harping on this, I am convinced the owners want no part of a court case vs Brady.
They like the controllable commissioner, their monopoly, control of the appeals, their own
independent investigations, etc.
Goodell is in there to keep control, keep it out of court.
And to get Tom to agree to no lawsuit, after the deal is made.
It is why he "wants to talk" with Tom.
You cannot control, predict a judge. They are furiously independent.
Not lightweights. They have spent their life hip deep in BS.
They recognize the smell.
NFL is already buried in very expensive lawsuits.
They will be lucky if the 750M head injury thing stands.
Another big one this week on the mandatory drugging by Mr Sunshine.
All this in an atmosphere of serious political pressure, a political err, football.
Chaos, random, arbitrary and poor decisions, bad actors all around.
Wife beaters, child beaters, drug users and a murderer.
Brady is not that. Wrong bad guy.
He is the right man for the NFLPA though.
This may be a conflict.
NFLPA would welcome the suit.
I really think Brady is in control of this thing.
He gets satisfaction, or they go to court.
He gets satisfaction, he could still go to court.
depends on how pissed off he is.
And truthfully? How pissed off his #1 is.
A key missing ingredient from Mr Kraft, I think.
Owners meeting focused on PATs instead of Pats.
Close.
Missed it by
that much.
