I actually kind of agree that this is pressuring to get a settlement. It would explain the whole "I'm going to rule tomorrow or Wednesday" "No wait it's actually going to be by the end of the week" change. Berman and his clerks have enough experience to know how long it takes to finish up a decision. I doubt he just accidentally underestimated the amount of work it would take. I figure he knew all along he wouldn't finish a decision by yesterday/today and knew all along that it would take a few extra days, and he just wanted to make a last ditch effort to provoke a last hour settlement without risking the decision coming in before the settlement could be reached. But that failed, NFL and Brady are too far apart, so the decision will come this week.Tanguay is doubling down on weei right now....is mocking the other two guys for disagreeing
Delay is so there is a last second chance for a settlement. that Berman was going to rule for NFL* from the start... The whole thing was trying to get a settlement, not to come to a decision based on the hearings.
I am confident that Brady's suspension will be vacated. My concern is how this will be vacated.
Hoping for a minimum of Lack of Notice.
A federal judge is incapable of presiding over an impartial and fundamentally fair hearing, so the NFL will demand that commissioner be allowed to hear all federal appeals court cases at his discretion from now on.NFL: "We're appealing this ruling on the grounds that the judge was influenced by the prospect of chocolate covered strawberries and heart shaped pineapple."
Tanguay is still a moron

Tanguay is still a moron for not deferring to the actual lawyers who say the judge is able to rule either way and is likely to rule in Brady's favor.
Cool, thanks for the information!I really don't think this is because Judge Berman is trying to get a settlement. That has passed. If there is not a settlement by now, there will not be one until at least after the ruling. After all this time, it is really doubtful that one of the sides are going to blink and give in on the language after all this time. The judge knows that.
As for the law clerks, I think most of his clerks right now might only be days into the job. Most law clerks only do it for a year. The term is usually September to August. So it is very possible that law clerk(s) working on this could be writing their first decision.
I was disappointed to find Tanger on EEI while driving to work, but in the 48 seconds or so I lasted he intimated that Berman announced he was going to rule on Friday. Did that happen? If so, why hasn't it been mentioned here? If not, what the hell was Douchewaffle talking about?
there will be no news before the decision is released. Someone will grab it off pacer and put it on twitter first.Any news if Berman will make a decision today?

Can someone call in on weei and just say "tanguay you are a moron" and hang up. maybe a few people in succession can do that?
He's just a placeholder for Glenn Ordway...it's not worth the time
Why does florio keep saying the judge could issue a 2 game suspension comprise?
