NFL Appeal oral arguments thread

[TBR]

If you had automatically assumed he knew where all the good Chinese restaurants were then you would have been in big trouble, mister.

I always die laughing at Kramer at the end

Reading this is worse than reading a game thread!

All said if I understand the judges' remarks correctly suddenly invoking the mis-alleged facts (sic) of the occurrence, I am glad that I never wasted my time reading the pages of legal analysis posted here.

I thought that was bizarre as well. It was like they we're rehearing the case instead of ruling on Bermans ruling.

Judge Parker's response: "We are influenced by the briefs you gentlemen filed"

Ouch.

The OJ show on FX has been outstanding....

Judge Parker's response: "We are influenced by the briefs you gentlemen filed"

Can't believe he said that

 

[ANGR89]

I'll admit I know nothing about this process......so what happens next?

 

[Froob]

Saw a comment on another article on CSN, why isn't Berman on the appeals panel? Goodell couldn't see anything wrong with that could he?

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

that would lend itself to the court casually upholding Berman's ruling.......I think it would not be as casual if they were overturning

I kinda felt the same when i first read this

I'd say helping to more than doubling the debt was quite an accomplishment. Helps knock the US down a peg on the world stage.

I get so f.cking sick of people injecting their politics into every thread they can.

 

[Mack Herron]

If Brady wins, it's over.

Judges decide the case and one of them writes the opinion.

Once the opinion comes out, the loser will decide whether or not to appeal.

Thanks. I thought it may have been one or the other and was too lazy to go back and look at the precise syntax. My bad.

Edit: Just peeped where he said: "compelling, if not overwhelming"

I take back my apology.

Colloquially that can be meant to infer that it approached "overwhelming." To the letter of the phrasing, though, it means that he found it compelling, not overwhelming. Either way, looks like a bad day for Brady.

So can someone who's in the know, tell me what's the next step?

Is there more oral arguments? Is there another court date? Or is this it and it's just down to a decision?

Its nothing short of classic.

 

[Dr Pain]

Everyone recall that Berman did not rule on one item even as the other 3 were so overwhelming. Kick it all back and still can get tossed on that 4th item Berman passed on.

all this sh!t pisses me off to no end. i am so sick and f-king tired of this garbage. there are no words to describe how much i hate the nfl.

Well said!! Agree completely!!

Let me also say that I expect the NFL to front load the Patriots schedule with difficult road games just in case.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Ouch.

Looks like Kessler had his Wheaties this morning...

We just wait for the decision.

I hope I don't get drowned with PC backlash, but it's just a joke. In reference to, if anything, the complimentary stereotype of asians being super smart. Chin must be an anomaly if he truly thinks what he does.

Asians can be as smart or as dumb as anyone else. Becoming a federal judge (sadly) is not some automatic confirmation that you are smart.

 

[Todd Bradley]

I still don't understand how the phone has anything to do with upholding or reversing Berman's ruling....

That doesn't make much sense. The two are not one in the same.
