Brady appeal transcript is now public

[reflexblue]

...and the Pats were NEVER given a heads up of given 20 lashings.

Why? Why not contact the offending team? Why not make absolutely sure the game was on the up-n-up? Why would you run the risk of out of spec balls being used?

This is alone is the foundation for vacating TB12s suspension and the Pat's sanctions.

Simply put, the NFLs actions demonstrated that a) they didn't give ****, b) were completely incompetent or c) wanted to catch the Patriots in the act-which at the behest of Grigson compromised the "level playing field".

When will the real answer be shown?

Thats something that i can't belive was not questioned. Rodger the dodger league of integrity allowed a half of a championship game to be played knowing that the balls might have been tampered with. That should be the basis of a lot of heads rolling. it was mentioned when this first happened, but nothing came of it.

As i was reading the back and forth it sounded ridiculous to ask brady repeatedly four or five times why he chose 12.5. I think he says they got it out of the rule book, but that doesn't satisfy reisner or what ever his name is.

I was throwing a football on the beach this weekend. I have decent sized hands but not overly large. The ball got sandy. It got wet. It had grape jelly on it (another story altogether). To throw a ball with a good grip, you need to get the tips of your fingers and the outside of you palm dug into it.

Brady likes the ball to the point he can grip it with authority. Sanding...Leather polish.. 12.5 PSI..as longas it's legal, the line of questioning is irrelevant.

Mike Freeman knows a lot about integrity, maybe he can give Brady some advice.

A longtime New York Times sportswriter who left to join the Indianapolis Star has resigned from his new job after admitting that he falsified his résumé.

Mike Freeman, who covered professional football and basketball and did investigative reporting at the Times, apologized for telling the Star that he was a graduate of the University of Delaware. He said he attended the school for four years but did not graduate.

"These were lies," Freeman, 37, said in a statement posted on the Web site SportsPages.com. He added: "This was a terrible and unforgivable manipulation of the facts. . . . It was the only time I have told such falsehoods and no other deceptions have ever appeared in any of my newspaper stories or two books at any time in my 16 years of practicing journalism. Nevertheless, the information I gave the Star was wrong and I will be punished with the loss of my newspaper career."

Star Editor Dennis Ryerson said in an interview yesterday that he had accepted the resignation, although this was "a bit awkward" because Freeman had not yet started his job as a columnist.

"The message is, he will not be working at the Star," he said. "I'm very sorry about the way it turned out." Ryerson added that a college degree is not required to work at the Star, and in fact, he does not have one.

Ryerson disclosed the news to readers through the paper's Web site yesterday afternoon.

Freeman worked for The Washington Post in 1988 and again from 1990 to 1992, covering pro football. He has also written for the Dallas Morning News and Boston Globe. Freeman is the author of "Bloody Sundays: Inside the Dazzling, Rough-and-Tumble World of the NFL," published last year, and the 2000 book "ESPN: The Uncensored History."

In July, he reported for the Times on allegations of academic misconduct involving Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett.

In his statement, Freeman said "there are no excuses or alibis" for misrepresenting his résumé. "This is my fault and my fault alone. Most of all, I have hurt and disappointed close friends and family, particularly my wife, and for this I am truly sorry. I also want to apologize to the Star."

COMMISSIONER GOODELL: Just so I'm clear, you
are saying it would take four minutes for eleven
balls to be properly inflated? That's your analysis
or whose analysis is that?
THE WITNESS: That's in the Exponent report
and the Wells report. They have a range, time
ranges for those sequences of events.

Yea, but jaz can do it in ninty seconds in a mens room. must be super human.

Since Day 1 that has been my #1 question, @reflexblue. Its a simple question that I pray to god Bermen asks of Da Fuher.

"Once your office was informed, why did the NFL not alert the Patriots of this concern?".

I realized what bradys point was, and it sounds logical to me. But to the um, er, un-biased, independent lorin reisner that can't possibly be what brady meant. So he asked brady four or five times why he chose 12.5 even though brady said he got it out of the rule book. If i was sitting in the back of the court room i would have been snickering.

I guess that means he can deflate those balls one handed.

I know. I know. "Checking with the rulebook" is all TB12 had.

Didn't Brady text the equipment guy to show the refs the rule book regarding psi during the season? Why is is hard to believe that he used the rule book then to come up with 12.5?

"the Ideal Gas Law is a theoretical concept that predicts the impact of temperature change on pressure. And it's a mathematical formula that you need a whole lot of things to be satisfied and in place for it to work. So that, the Ideal Gas Law was out there."

WTF is Ted Wells blabbering on about there?

Because it doesn't fit the narrative they sold everyone.

 

[Ross12]

I don't think I can deal with this s*** anymore lol, my patience is about at its limit... Think I'll go play some Destiny or something.

Because it didn't fit the Goodell/Wells narrative. they're desperately trying to get brady to say he likes the footballs slightly underinfalted. But at 12.5 the balls are legal so in the end what does it really matter?

 

[Peachhead]

OMG Kessler catches Wells lying AGAIN on page 84.

He says they had no idea what Anderson reinflated the Patriots Footballs to at half time, Kessler just replies "Didn't your report say they pumped them to 13?"

Repeated lying about material stuff under oath, even when not in a courtroom, is still perjury, right? Grounds for disbarment?

Grape jelly? Leftover from grape jelly beach sexy time? Good on ya!

I wish....

Certain adolescents I am father to decided that instead of the baloney and cheese sandwich my wife made decided they wanted something else which led to a glob of grape jelly in my palm. Once I finished making the sandwiches I picked up the football...Ugh.

 

[rochrist]

Well, Felger and Tanguay say this PROVES Brady and the Pats are guilty, guilty guilty!!!
