I will give my right nut to have the ability to write like that. Cogent and piercing.

-- You CANNOT give up all rights to sue for ALL future unknowable events. Fundamentally untrue and illogical. All that agreement does is raise the bar up to a higher level that eliminates frivolous, petty, and minor suits.
the league conspired to withhold exculpatory evidence
Blecher's brief SHOULD be the jumping off point of a PR campaign to get our draft picks back. While I doubt there are any legal or procedural grounds for the organization to get them back, every effort should be made to literally embarrass the league into returning the picks.
To get them back the Pats will need to oil up their PR machine and make sure this narrative is spread across the sports media. "Why are the Pats losing their draft picks" SHOULD be a question that demands answers by the league. No opportunity should be missed to ask Goodell that question. He should never be allowed to speak at a public occasion WITHOUT having to answer that question.
If they do it well, they will create a groundswell of demand for justice to be done, and if they don't return the picks the league should be positioned as being a mean, petty and vindictive group who is unjustly trying to create an unlevel playing field and thus critically damaging the "integrity of the league".
FINALLY the truth of the fraud the cabal at 354 Park Ave perpetrated has been laid bare, and the and what the NFL did is finally labeled what it is......a FRAUD
And the commissioner is supposed to be an honest, upstanding person of integrity.Not correct. Teams have agreed to neither sue the league nor each either.
Is that from Lester Munson?Excerpt from the ESPN Amicus brief:
The only issue I see here is that it requires reading! It does not have bombastic headlines and vapid talking points the masses crave. You need to be engaged in sustained concentration to understand the issues being raised in here. People will dismiss the the slight of hand on the visuals with the needles on the gages. That is huge imo. It should be an insult to even the slowest media personality that Wells and Exponents pulled this over their eyes, but Volin will be looking for the connection between Blecker's grandparents and the Krafts.I've been hoping for some sort of challenge to the investigation for months. Thought it might be a defamation lawsuit, but this is even better!
With all due respect, if the Patriots sued someone that was drafted by another team, the only party that looks stupid in that instance is the Patriots.Ok, but i can still sue the draftee. Any way that makes go-to-hell look freakin impotent works for me.
-- Sueing the draftee maybe works even better at the ultimate objective of making roger look silly and getting other owners to finally say we have to get rid of him and stop the bleeding.
Yes! While he continually calls out Goodell and the NFL as frauds, he also throws the NFLPA attorney under the bus many times for being silent on a few important rebuttals and also being more fixated on the unfair unchecked power of Goodell and less concerned with Brady's reputation.
I'd like it be the way you guys outline it, but I think it is simply wishful thinking.
On top of that, there isn't any motivation I can see that would cause Kraft to want to sue his partners in the business they run together (the NFL), on which his private business (The Patriots) is entirely dependent on for any business viability and success. He might tussle with them on the outcome of this situation, but a lawsuit would indicate a relationship that just doesn't exist.
Yahoo sports has now picked up this story. Hopefully, it's starting to get some traction.
And precisely who is going to be doing all this asking? The national media in the tank for the NFL? The local media who hates the team, and wouldn't be taken seriously nationally anyway? And "groundswell of demand"? HA! Remember -- people are happy NE got screwed. Hell, they'll probably like it even more than NE got screwed for something they didn't even do than if they got punished for doing something. There's not going to be any groundswell. At most you'll get "Roger is a P.O.S. liar, but he screwed NE, so that's at least one good thing he's done while commissioner."
Our society has degenerated to the point where most people believe what they want, regardless of the source. Many would simply choose not to acknowledge that the accusation was wrong and simply believe crap spewed by the likes of Mort. Far too few strive to break through their programming and see the world genuinely. The realization of this truth would serve you well.However, I don't think our society has become so degenerate that they would celebrate allowing a punishment to stand despite clear proof that the accusation was wrongful . . . I could be wrong.
