I've dealt with some VERY ****y New York lawyers who actually had lousy cases with long track records of losing similar cases. I have some sympathy for the media who are being fooled by them.
That said, there's one way Brady could take a settlement without being locked in as a loser -- if he makes it VERY clear that he will quickly be filing a defamation suit with a VERY large number attached.
"1 game, $250K, and no admission of guilt of any kind. Done and done. FYI, by the end of the month, we'll be filing a defamation suit naming the NFL, Roger Goodell, Jeffrey Pash, Theodore Wells, Wells' law firm, Mike Gardi, Mike Kensil and several John Does as defendants, with requested damages of no less than $80 million. We plan to file in Massachusetts, Judge Berman, but if you feel strongly it should be in your court instead we're of course delighted to listen."
Could the NFL then counter that with stating 0 games, 10,000 fine and the request of Tom Brady and the NFLPA to not move to a defamation case?
At that point I would tell them to go **** off...
