Assuming that the appeals process fails, which I fully expect it to, and that the NFLPA, or Brady takes this to court:
Should Brady be exonerated in court, and his suspension completely vacated, will this not also, therefore, reverse judgement on the other two punishments, since by virtue of complete vacation, legal judgment/opinion would have been rendered that no wrongdoing was proven to have existed?
In that Brady is cleared of said wrongdoing, isn't the team and other team participants, therefore also cleared of any wrongdoing, since they cannot be complicit in something that was not proven to have existed?
Because for me, it would not make any sense at all, for Brady to be fully exonerated and the other two punishments to still stand.
I would imagine that any legal verdict that fully overturned Brady's punishment, would also be forced by legal proximity to overturn the other two punishments.
