Sociopaths don't feel shame.Don't you want him to be retired and know he will be reviled as the worst NFL commissioner of all time before he dies?

Who cares what percentage? They are going to hear the en banc, and win. If we want to guess percentages, I say 100 percent. I just feel that our justice system cannot be that currupt. If not, I've lost all hope in this country. And that would really seal the deal on my opinion of how bad the condition of this country is.
Why was there not this effort when the NFL appealed Berman's ruling?? Have to wonder if all the high powered amicus briefs were filed at that time the outcome might be different, Goodell would be on his knees asking for an en banc hearing...
Not doing so might be a big mistake for the Brady legal team....

Not sure about that. In fact, over the decades, I'd imagine that Chin and Parker have both upheld many of Berman's rulings. On the other hand, I think he might have a few choice words for the decision to let Kessler, who is not an Appellate Lawyer, get in over his head by arguing the appeal against someone of Clement's stature.I'd love to hear Berman's thoughts on Chin and Parker. Guessing he'd have a lot of negative things to say.
Frankly I don't think Brady's team thought there was a chance in hell that Berman would get overturned. They just got a bad draw with to retired judges. The facts that they may now get a hearing by the full court rest with the dissenting opinion of the chief judge and all the amicus briefs filed by various high ranking and reputable sources. Also the fact that Brady's team has made it clear ( by hiring Olsen) that they will bring this to the Supreme Court.
Judges hate to be overturned, and maybe the fear of the Supreme Court doing just that will make them grant Brady a full hearing. What is really import at to know is that the retired judges who ruled against Brady do not have a voice in the decision to grant an en blank hearing so you would logically say that right now Brady has the Chief Judge and Berman's votes.
If anyone tells you they know with even a modicum of certain what a court is going to do with a particular case, then they have not worked with the courts. The only thing predictable about judges and juries is that they are unpredictable.
It was Kessler. He wanted to do the appeal by himself so that he can say he beat the NFL from start to finish in the Brady case. and brady doesn't know anything about lawyers like which lawyer is best for trials, which one is best for appeals, etc., so he just went with whomever.
A year ago this wasn't a case Ted Olsen would take.
It was Dee Smith's call on Kessler. He blew it not Brady.
Agreed. A 50% increase of his chances, from 5% to 10%. A dramatic increase, I suppose, but still...Still not buying in until they decide to grant en banc. Don't count the proverbial chickens yet!
I'm not sure Kessler, Smith, and the NFLPA were expecting a supposedly respected lawyer, Paul Clement, to outright lie in court. They never seemed to recover from that.It was Kessler. He wanted to do the appeal by himself so that he can say he beat the NFL from start to finish in the Brady case. and brady doesn't know anything about lawyers like which lawyer is best for trials, which one is best for appeals, etc., so he just went with whomever.
Still, kessler could have said no and turned the case over to steffen johnson. No one forced kessler to do anything.
Also don yee could have spoken up.
