Official 9/1 Decision Day? News Updates and Links Thread

[shmessy]

Might as well close this thread up and start one for 9/2

Nope.

There are still 6+ hours left for 9/1.

Plenty of news updates, links and discussion to be had.

Plus, we would be missing out on insightful legal analyses like Post #262.

We all know what the NFL wants.

If it's favorable to them, Friday @ 9am

If it's for TB12, Saturday morning at 12:20am

Jerry Rice and ESPN suits all think alike, don't they?

I can't believe this whole thing has taken the entire offseason. Wells took his time as directed. What a joke

 

[YOUGOTMOSSED]

Not a lawyer or law buff of any kind. But as a professional, I like to have my work peer reviewed from time to time. Is it uncommon for Judges to confur with other robes before making big decisions?

Just a thought and a question.

They probably do even though they really shouldn't. Another judge might have some improper connection to the case.

Happens Every. Single. Day. Repeatedly. It's scary. Process issues matter. In real life and for football games.

@StephStradley It's difficult for people to believe the totally innocent can be wrongly accused & convicted. It's out of their comfort zone.

I bet Judge Berman made up his mind days ago. Hard part is writing it in such an airtight way that beats an appeal.

 

[YOUGOTMOSSED]

8/31/15-Berman to Kessler and Brady in private settlement discussions, "This isn't going to settle. I'm ruling in your favor on condition that what I just said doesn't leave this room."

Upbeat Brady after conference. Kessler tells press he expects a just ruling.

That what I'm telling myself to stay sane.

 

[TruthSeeker]

Now iam worried the nfl bends over to accept brady's offer for 1 game for no guilt.

Since that offer never happened, no need to worry.

 

[YOUGOTMOSSED]

Exactly. It really does hamstring them this time of year and potentially the next four games.

If this BS wasn't going on they'd have a roster spot to use as opposed keeping Triple Lindsay around...

Hell, they could try and pluck a FB or another OLman off the wire. Maybe be able to carry Douglas?

They are essentially being forced to work with one less roster spot this entire summer.

Totally pisses me off that this Fs with the teambuilding process.

OTOH, Pittsburgh has to prepare for two different QB's . . . ok, I'm grasping but I'm trying to stay positive.

This means Brady is doomed.

No, it means Goodell is ****ed.

No, no, no, it means they are back talking settlement.

But maybe it means Berman has gone Hollywood.

Or maybe Gisele is divorcing Tom.

or maybe Berman and Gisele are having an affair and he was "busy" this afternoon....

This is the most likely scenario.

 

[BradyFTW!]

The season opener is in 9 days. He has to be aware that the longer it takes, the more pressure that is put on Brady and the Pats. This is crap.

Depends on why he's taking so long. If he's taking some extra time to make extra sure that he crafts a careful decision vacating the suspension, and he's making extra sure that it will hold up on appeal, then by all means he should take all the time he needs.

 

[BradyFTW!]

This is the most likely scenario.

We kid, but I'm betting 74 just became an unwitting anonymous source on OK Magazine's next 'scoop'.

Everybody just needs to calm down and stop obsessing about the verdict!

I am astonished that I was able to get as much work done today as I did.

I recently downloaded the Easy Auto Refresh plug-in just for Patsfans.com. You can set it to time how often it refreshes the page. Pretty neat.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Whoever altered their day for this news ... needs some reflection time.

 

[DaBronxPats14]

So Berman anticipates his decision by end of this week. He has to have an answer by now. He might be waiting to see how to word it trying to make it air tight on an appeal.

[Soul_Survivor88]

No.

He said 'HOPEFULLY tomorrow (Tues) or Wednesday, no later than Friday'.

It was pretty clear.

.

As much as it is annoying to fans like me, I think this affects Brady and the Pats more than it does me. So yeah, maybe it isn't all that big of a deal, but still.....Brady deserves to have this wrapped up and over with

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

First line of the decision:

If you just read this first line, you have waived your rights to appeal.

BOOM!
