Official Brady vs. NFL Federal Court 8/12 Thread (LIVE UPDATES)

[BradyFTW!]

Anyone else slightly alarmed at how on-point Volin's twitter is today? Did he just wake up from a years-long semi-coma yesterday or something?

 

[reflexblue]

ESPN has to side with the NFL so they can land a big contract for TV rights. haven't you guys figured it out?

BSPN is in it up to their eyeballs, they can't just turn around now and say we were wrong, bradys innocent, they put their money on goodell. Now their riding the tiger like him, hoping not to get eaten.

Tom Brady, btw, looked pissed when he walked back into the courtroom after brief meeting with Berman. Looked like he had just gone 3-and-out


Lol, for some reason I don't think his reasoning is correct. Tom always looks pissed when he's serious. The first courtroom date where no victory was declared is not a place for high fives and smiles.

Hope it's just that he's serious

Hope that it's just that he's serious! Every little thing is making me nervous! I need to hear some more positive stuff! Lol

I hope Goodell is swayed to change his plans for opening night and shows up in Foxboro so Brady can bathe in his blood after he annihilates the Steelers on national TV.

Has he said he won't be there?

 

[YOUGOTMOSSED]

Yeah, I've been thinking about that the whole time. I could be the only one who believes this....I think losing a 1st round draft pick is worse than having Brady suspended for four games

I'm not saying it doesn't suck, but draft picks are usually gambles anyway. Even 1st round picks.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Don't think Berman liked nash answer that the commish basically does what he wants.

I can't see how he would. "Because Goodell can do whatever he wants" is not a good defense against "how do you respond to the accusation that Goodell does whatever he wants with no regard for due process?"

If the NFL's putting all of their eggs in that basket, after losing every case that they've gone to court with using that exact same argument, then that doesn't bode super well for them.

Adam is the only person in the media you can trust so if true this is great news

You know what, as far as national figures go, you're right.

 

[Kdo5]

Unfortunaely, Merloni is an idiot and can't get past the 'they admitted those guys deflated the ballz!!!'

Not going to bother listening the sports radio. That is all those guys will harp on about, legal strategy be damned.

Ya saw someone else tweet that Brady remained "stoic" through the whole proceeding. So I doubt the way he looked coming out of that meeting is telling of anything.

Attorney Jeff Kessler admitted Tom Brady could have handled cell phone differently. But said it's "most overblown issue in 40 years of law."

as expected ..

brady may have been upset at something nash said, not necessarily the judge.

Cheese that's terrible. Brady looks like an old man and Don Yee looks like a stereo type

Brady and Goodell had opportunity to greet each other with at least a head nod in court and did not. Goodell seemed to try, not Brady.

Damn....you know Brady is mad when he gives you the cold shoulder like that

 

[aluminum seats]

go away

Don't say that, the guy's giving his opinion. Let's not turn this into a group think thing where it's just all BS rah rah

Maybe he got a prescription for Adderall?!

 

[scott99]

Is that the Ray Lewis defense?

It's the Brett Favre defense:

NFL- Show us those pics you sent that girl.
Favre-No

Ok fined 50k

Important perspective (re ideal gas law and deflation):

Tom Leyden ‏@TomLeyden 5m5 minutes ago
Kessler prefaced answering questions with "We do not believe there is real evidence such deflation occurred," as determined in Wells Report

 

[karguy85]

Maybe he got a prescription for Adderall?!

Even he has enough intelligence to realize the tide is turning significantly and he better get on the right side of the issue fast.
