Have said for a while now BB was their intended target, #12 is collateral damage.. but when they found out BB liked to use crappy footballs for practice, that plan hit the shytter real quick.
It started when Kensil was foaming at the mouth on the Pats sidelines during the Indy game, "We f... ing got you now"!!!!!
Manning's faultSeems so surreal.
This whole thing was started by the Colts and carried out by Kensil.
The.Whole.Thing.
If DEN beats Indy this doesn't happen
Here's the thing. If Berman wants to rule for the NFL* because he has to because of the CBA, then why is he wasting everyone's time with facts? Do we really want to believe he's just throwing out this stuff that will have no actual bearing on how he decides just to pressure a settlement?

That seemed to be the road Berman was going down yesterday.Assuming your premise, perhaps he feels that this is a miscarriage of justice that he cannot right under the law. In that case, he can poke holes in the basis for the sanctions and get the NFL on record doing violence to Tom Brady's public image so that Brady has a more solid basis for a defamation suit, which could succeed where the NFLPA suit cannot.
I don't believe this, personally - but it is a possibility.
Yes, the presence of that word "reasonably" should matter. It absolutely should not be possible for Goodell just to suspend players arbitrarily on a hunch, which appears to be what he did here.
Sort of a Bizarro World, from which emerged a Bizarro Brady, captured by the court artist yesterday.... it is as though the NFL has morphed into a parallel universe, where right is left and up is down and wrong is right.
I would imagine Thanksgiving would be something like this at the Belichick household:Given press conferences by BB, I could guess his tex ting history. k, k, kk, k...
I'm guessing it will includes lots of statements made by Pash et al on Wed that contradict the Wells report and other court filings re independence, evidence and a nexus between McNally/Jastrewski and Brady or lack thereof...Can't wait to see Kessler's new appeal this Friday.
Even better would be that Berman asks each of the NFL people involved very pointed questions. With the stipulation that each member is pulled from the room to make sure nobody hears each others stories (though you'd think they'd have the script nailed by now, but not sure they are that smart) and asks them how this whole thing got started and who knew what and when (Fact finding on the sting, ...)Prediction: Aug 19th
Kessler brings in McNally and JJ and they explain the reasons for the text messages and state Brady never told them to do anything illegal with those footballs.
In this 7 month total immersion into equipment issues, the real story it is completely surreal, it is as though the NFL has morphed into a parallel universe, where right is left and up is down and wrong is right.
Goodell, Kensil and their hired guns are completely focused on BB; they change NFL rules, they disrupt their preparations, suspend star players, they take away draft picks and still they win...
That is an article from USA Today and not MSN. The author is a known Brady hater. Please get your sources rightSome headlines today, eg.MSN Brady just ruined what was left of his Golden Boy image , bspn didn't have anything till far down, something neutral,
During this whole framegate, I have been wondering is this communist Russia? How the press is controlled, so one sided. What other org or vip has had such favorable press ? Not Presidents, not big oil ... is this America ?

Make-believe aside, Judge Berman might want Goodell to walk him through his process and how he concluded that he interpreted each fact as he arrived at his decision. most importantly, how he set aside any prior knowledge to act in a fair and impartial manner. you know be buddy buddy from 1 judge to another.

I don't think they settle before Wed, if only to give Kessler a chance to cross examine Goodell......
and yes I realize that means Pash and Reisner (?) get to question Brady but it seems that the NFL has more to hide and a less solid argument.
Yes , MSN Put it Top of headline pageThat is an article from USA Today and not MSN. The author is a known Brady hater. Please get your sources right
