Now, it is no longer about Tom Brady, but about the circus created by the NFL.
Should the NFLPA succeed, Brady comes out looking like a Saint. Then, he is loaded for bear in the defamation suit.

Joker, you are in the general public, but you're not within 3 standard deviations of the mean.wait...I AM the general public and I blame Roger ROTTENSCUMDELL ,the biggest SCUMBAG in America. With the incredible number of scumbags presently gracing American society, THAT'S saying something.
If the suspension is ultimately reversed after Brady serves it, someone owes him a quarter million. I think it would be ridiculously unfair to have the Patriots on the hook for that amount and honestly don't know what would happen.Imagine if this cost him his job in an unlikely scenario, the NFL should owe him a lot of money.
Please enlighten us as to how it’s easily refuted.
While your at it let’s hear your argument against gravity and for the world indeed being flat.
I know nothing about physics so I did some googling to get a handle on what this guy was blabbering about. He's right to say that the atmosphere is not considered an "Ideal Gas." In fact, there is actually no such thing as an "Ideal Gas" because the term is defined as a hypothetical gas whose molecules do not interact with each other.I wanted to put this somewhere and wasn't sure where. Since this is a comment from PFT (I know, I know), I'll place it here.
For backdrop, there is someone in the comment section that keeps stating that the Ideal Gas Law is easily refuted. After multiple back and forths, Einstein finally got around to explaining why that is so.
Um, OK. Try to keep up son. The Ideal Gas Law only applies to Ideal gasses. Footballs are filled with atmosphere. Atmosphere is a mixture of gasses and not a Ideal gas. A mixture of GASSES are not a Ideal GAS. See the difference between single and plural? It’s really not that hard of a concept.
I'm not sure if this person is trolling or serious, but it may be the most hilarious football-related comment I have read since that guy here years ago who insisted that he knew more about football than other forum members since he was one of the highest rated Madden players in the country.
Sorry, not trying to hijack this thread.... but I had to share.
Kraft supports Brady, slams “flawed and biased” investigation
For the learned folk, would a move as such qualify for irreparable harm knowing Brady will forego 4 games and the accompanying wages?
Losing wages is not considered "irreparable harm" because you can always get your money later.For the learned folk, would a move as such qualify for irreparable harm knowing Brady will forego 4 games and the accompanying wages?

However, the IGL still applies to our situation because we are dealing with everyday gases at everyday temperatures in an everyday level of atmospheric pressure. Here are things I discovered which are legitimate limitations of the IGL:
1) The IGL calculations break down at pressures of 70 atmospheres of greater. The ball's pressure was less than 2 atmospheres.
2) The IGL calculations break down if the gas in the closed container actually starts to condense into a liquid though either (a) molecular attraction or (b) loss of kinetic energy. We just don't get there in this situation, but I wish we did because a sealed container would lose a tremendous amount of air pressure if the molecules actually started condensing.
3) There is actually something called THE REAL GAS LAW which attempts to compensate for various shortcomings of the Ideal Gas Law. I looked at the formula and did some research. It's true, different gases behave differently. A ball filled with hydrogen gas would not lose the same amount of pressure as a ball filled with nitrogen gas.
4) The IGL is perfectly fine at the pressures and gases we are using here. This is not an experiment trying to calculate the pressure of methane gas beneath the ocean floor.
5) If anything, given that our atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and oxygen and CO2, we have been underestimating the expected change of air pressure - but don't nobody get your hopes up. We're talking fractions of fractions of a percentage point.
The players didn't negotiate away legal protection. The courts just failed them.There is a serious issue here. No, I'm not talking labor law, I'm talking 13th Amendment (slavery banned, if I got that right.)
If one can negotiate away a legal protection (a la article 46 nullifying labor law) why can't I sell my right to not be a slave?
Yes, I'm overstating it, but in 50 years from now this is potentially Dread Scott.
If I'm understanding this correctly then this guy is basically saying "The IGL is not applicable because the footballs aren't filled with Ideal Gas, they're filled with AIR! Duh!"I wanted to put this somewhere and wasn't sure where. Since this is a comment from PFT (I know, I know), I'll place it here.
