NFL demands retraction of Times article on player concussions

[BradyFTW!]

Please do follow through with the lawsuit NFL. Draw all the attention this thing needs instead of letting it go away. So unlike you.

Seriously, 100% this. Normally I'd say "nobody would be stupid enough to file this lawsuit, it would just bring more attention to a very real problem that the NFL is trying desperately to keep out of the public eye". But the NFL just might be that stupid.

This is very enjoyable for me. I really hope they sue and lose. Then I hope when they ask for an appeal, they have to appeal to...the NY Times. That's how Roger does business, all great companies should follow him right?

Man, if only Deflategate would end with a win for Brady. That would make it even sweeter.

The NFL attorney argued in his letter that the Times piece was based on a "grand total of five pieces of circumstantial evidence, none of which—taken together or individually—comes close to establishing any meaningful 'tie' that reasonably can form the basis of the Times's knowingly false and incendiary charge."

Un-freaking-believable.

You know that 'thing' called KARMA? As Jackie Gleason used to say, "HOW SWWWWEEEEETTTTTTT IT IS!!!! FTNFL!

 

[Big-T]

Un-freaking-believable.

Kessler needs to quote that part of the letter back at them.

NFL demands retraction of Times article on player concussions

And Ted Wells' "independent" law firm is reportedly leading the charge to an unlikely defamation suit.

Is the line about Wells a joke or serious? I can't even tell any more.

So five pieces of circumstantial evidence cannot establish any credible link to the issue here, but an out of context text from months before the alleged offense where the sender referred to himself as the "Deflater", along with the ball boy using the restroom before a late starting game, where the balls reacted to the IGL as expected, is rock solid evidence of a crime worthy of the most draconian punishment in NFL* history.

There are no words........

Perhaps this contradiction will be useful to the NFLPA attorneys at some point.

Breaking News: The Onion sues NYT - satire is our job!

Big problem for The Times. If they don't agree to the NFL's demands the league is going to give them their worst games this season.........

I swear the NFL lives in a bubble. They totally create their own reality.

1) LOL @ NFL
2) They'll never sue. Not in a million years. Because if they did, they'd have to open up all their own books.

It is serious. His law firm wrote the letter to the nytimes
