Goodell has a house in Maine? I'm making a trip back there soon, anyone have the address?
(Don't worry, I'm joking).
Why is that?Kraft is more interested in protecting Goodell than Brady.
You would have to ask him. I can't read his mind, just his actions.Why is that?
Luckily, I think this is the one and only PR battle that I think Brady could take the league to the mat over right now. Everyone outside New England hates Brady and the Pats, but even the most jealousy-blind idiot understand that the appeal needs to be heard by a neutral third party.
Kraft will do nothing
Where is he?
His comments about the Wells report said ZERO about the attach on Brady's integrity, and knowing that Brady was the target, he agree to accept the findings and whatever punishment is given.
He could change his tune, but to this point everyone not named Kraft in Foxboro are 'the help' and Roger Goodell is his friend, and the man he overwhelmingly supports.
AJ I hear ya but you are taking a lack of words as X when it may mean Y. I mean Brady himself has said nothing.
Look this is the first salvo. Brady and the Patriots are discussing this with their counsels and media experts. At least give Brady a chance to speak, then see what Kraft does/says, then we can see where Kraft is at. Also remember about Kraft, he is under a far more limiting contractual obligation than Brady. He needs to be sure about his next statements else how about maybe we lose picks in round #3 and #5?
Again let's let it play out before drawing lines. Besides this ain't a time to be mad at Patriot people. Maybe that time will come but it ain't now. The anger belongs with the Emperor and his court jesters.
Yeah, definitely wouldn't say that.I'd go so far as to say Jonathan will have to be fully and autonomously in charge before the Patriots and the commissioners office become warmly friendly again.
The longer this goes without Brady speaking for himself the more he looks like he is going to sue the league. He might get his suspension reduced or eliminated via arbitration but he will not win back his reputation by arbitration.
I have a different take. Everybody outside New England may hate Brady and the Patriots, however, they are predisposed to hate the NFL Execs and Goodell more. They just need a shove in that direction..
Can someone point out a written policy that states a player has to turn over his personal cell phone or it is conduct detrimental to the league.? Without a written policy agreed to in the CBA, it would seem that a player could make a strong case that he has a reasonable expectation of privacy and that it's an invasion of privacy to give it up...Yee will anything relating to the investigation of the footballs. The main thing NFL is going to contest is the lack of cooperation according to them. That is what yee has to prove somehow is wrong.
I think the appeal can be held faster. According to the CBA, it appears that it has to be held within 10 days of an appeal being filed unless parties agree to a delay ( to get discovery) and boy will there be discovery on this.....Not necessarily. I believe that certain circumstances can get a caseput on a fast track. One of those circumstances might be the fact that if a decision isn't rendered by the start of the season, Brady will have been denied the right of being exonerated. I'm certainly not an attorney, but I believe there are instances where that type of situation is taken into consideration.
He certainly can change his act, but he failed miserably so far. I think he realizes that because he essentially admitted he was wrong in his recent statement. He needs to go farther.
He needs to support the team not the league.
That's why the first step is to sue for an INJUNCTION against the NFL's actions. And the second step is to go for the Appeal. Or file BOTH at the same time. Don't allow the NFL to moot the case by dragging out the appeal process.
Courts very likely would dismiss the case as "unripe" until Brady exhausts all the internal red tape.
