It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I can't believe that a district court bought the NFL's bait with the cell phone. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING. Nothing to do with the evidence and nothing to do with the process!
McCann discusses today's events. 13 minute video initial discussion then answers questions.
in short, he thinks Katzmann favors Brady, Parker favors NFL, Chin unsure but leaning towards NFL.
McCann doesnt understand why they went into cell phones so muchtoday. also talked about how little Berman's arguments were covered.
B.S.
I'm not a lawyer and you know what I say to Chin? "Your Honor, I ask you to explain what evidence is so called "compelling if not overwhelming?". "I have numerous articles written by the giants of sports media, Peter King as one, who have recently lobbied for the Pats picks to be given back due to a serious lack of evidence?". "Yet you, for some unknown reason appear to know something the rest of the world doesn't".
To me that's a hostile statement from the bench that warrants a question to flesh out the foundation of that belief. Chin opened himself up for ridicule or embarrassment and it appears Kessler didn't take advantage.
LOL I don't get it.
How can one say Chin and Parker favor the NFL when they went equally as hard against them?
In fact, in McCann's review, he states that Parker and Chin basically just grilled Kessler on the cell phone destruction, which #1: has nothing to do with Berman's decision and #2: is irrelevant, considering Wells was supplied with all phone logs, emails and texts that were pertinent.
So, okay, he destroyed his phone. Okay, to some it may look suspicious, but that has zero to do with overturning Berman's decision.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, most of these legal experts weren't expecting the judges to grill the NFLPA about the prior information in the case, so they were shocked it became apart of the appeal arguments and clearly are overreacting.
I don't see how Brady's chances look bad when the biggest question mark by those two judges revolve around information not part of Berman's ruling, to which is what they actually have to rule on. This is not about whether or not Brady was actually guilty, it's about process and procedure.
I'm going crazy with this stupidity. I honestly can't believe actual US Appeals Judges Are continuing the nonsense cell phone rhetoric.
Or a cynical person may wonder if Chin and Parker are in the tank for Clement. He's a potential SCOTUS justice nominee so he's . . . ahem . . . people who knows people.
Well, ridiculing or embarrassing the judge you're arguing in front of seldom achieves the desired results. Probably the best response would be, "I respectfully direct the court's attention to the record (page with Berman oral argument) which shows that when the lower court asked the NFL about their evidence of tampering they couldn't identify any."
Can't win with the white male vote only and the next SCOTUS justice will be liberal, which I don't think Clement is.Considering Trump is likely to be the next POTUS, and he unequivocally backs Brady, Kraft, and the Pats... If I'm a federal judge I'm thinking that ruling against Brady could be a career-limiting move.
Why? Will Brady be out in December?Well I don't like what I am reading and can say that if Brady does have to serve a 4 game suspension our chances of winning the SB next year are drastically reduced

May not get confirmed as a liberal if the Republicans keep control of the Senate.Can't win with the white male vote only and the next SCOTUS justice will be liberal, which I don't think Clement is.
What we have learned today is what is wrong with people in general as regards gathering information given by the media. Now, this is something that a lot of haters have been called out on regarding this subject almost daily by pats fans in the main. That is take a headline and not read the article. The sound bites today are no different from headline grabbing click whores in the media to gain attention and nearly everyone is falling for it. Remember what gives these media idiots more clicks.. More damning news against Brady.
Wait for the transcripts, and even then.. wait for the result or your likely going to send yourself to an early grave.
If that's the case Clement would win every single appeal.
That's fine. You have to do something. He did nothing, correct? That's criminal.
