This is nothing more than a case of nitpicking. In context, this quote is nothing more than praise for Brady. Rex was asked how New England gets performances like that out of "no-name runningbacks" like "the kid last week". And Rex basically said that because you have to gameplan for Brady it...

No, that is the logic Exponent used to conclude that Walt likely was mistaken and used the non-logo gauge because it more closely matches other gauges used including the Patriots. However, this is exactly the OPPOSITE. At the time of Walt's pre-game measurements, Jastremski's gauge is expected...

You don't need to look any further than the Wells report itself for the exoneration, it is all already there. http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/threads/patriots-legal-counsel-rebuttal-of-wells-report.1120128/#post-4211649 And for icing on the cake, that's the gauge...

Robert Kraft is a business man, his number one priority is and always will be to the business of the New England Patriots. His business is part of an organization of 31 other businesses, of which are branded in sum total under the NFL. The NFL's sole purpose is to grow the brand and thus the...

I have learned that someone claimed it is a possibility, haven't seen proof or example of anyone else doing it though. Doesn't change anything though, whether he could have technically gone through a dog and pony show of an "appeal" to someone that he has direct personal communication with or...

My argument stands, I just don't care to continue it. Who is Roberta Kraft?

You should buy the Patriots. Who is Roberta Kraft btw?

I haven't changed the subject. I have the NFL bylaws in front of me, you keep claiming **** that isn't there. I said he has that POWER, which is a fact. You are just being emotional and demanding that everything would work out exactly how you think it could, even though you can't even...

So what you're saying is, do what we did last time we got **** on, except this time... finish the damn job! I like it.

Actually, the bylaws **specifically** grant him the ultimate authority to decide guilt and issue the punishments he has given. This is not a court of law.

You don't have a point, the bylaws prohibit member clubs from suing. Al Davis brought an anti-trust lawsuit, what the hell is Kraft going to sue about? Yeah let's violate the bylaws and sue because we don't like the punishment that we expressly granted the commissioner power to levy. It makes...

Yes let's compare the decades old fued of franchise location to the current punishment of taking 2 draft picks that is within the stated powers of the commissioner.

Link me to the relevant rules that show the club has the right to appeal. The NFL bylaws give Goodell disciplinary power without appeal for competitive violations. Brady's appeal is part of the CBA as well as being stated specifically in the NFL bylaws that players can appeal suspensions...

The NFL is an association of 32 businesses that elect league executives to run and rule all league matters. The owners of the businesses willingly give the commissioner full power over these matters. The league on behalf of the owners bargain with the players and come up with a collective...

Right to appeal? That is in the CBA, the agreement between the league and the players union. What does it have to do with Kraft? The only thing Kraft could do is sue, which would violate NFL bylaws. And in case you didn't know, the commissioner does ultimately have power to recommend the...
