I've now gone through the ruling quickly once (would a real lawyer PLEASE tell us what it really means, other than that we kicked ass? what does it mean for the NFL's chances on appeal) and am impressed that he was able to pull something this thorough together so quickly. somebody was burning midnight oil all week.
One disturbing note from Berman according to Judy Batista, Berman noted that Roger Goodell was deemed to be an impartial arbiter. First that kind of blows my mind, and I worry about what impact that tidbit might have in appeal.
Then off course since I haven't read the decision myself (and I doubt Judy did either), I love if someone more proactive will confirm or deny this surprising remark.
BTW- Judy did say this was the only positive for the NFL. The rest was totally in favor of the NFLPA
Whoosh. Right over my head.
True but I think that makes the ruling bullet-proof - there was no opinion just facts in the ruling. And, if you read Berman's words and choices of what he included, you could come to no other conclusion that RG was biased.I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there is one bad thing in the ruling - Berman did not agree that Goodell was evidently partial.
Otherwise, Brady won on pretty much every count.
I mean, obviously....
If I was Goody I would say that I ruled based on the information at my disposal.Berman didn't say Goodell was fully impartial, he simply didn't find Goodell was "evidently partial".
Me too! Berman can become commish.Pessimistic guy just got slain. Thanks Berman!!!!! I was wrong!!!!! Yeahhhhhh!!!!
