What ever happened to doing the right thing?there is no solution here with Roger comes out the winner here, his only bet is to go all in and try and call brady's bluff.

All Brady has to do is convince Goodell that he didn't tell Jastremski and McNally to do anything against the rules and that he had no subsequent awareness of any such actions when he made public statements to that effect. Remember, he's there because the Wells report says that it is "more probable than not" that he had knowledge of their activities. He doesn't really have to get into the debate about the science that suggests the balls were "deflated" unless this goes to Federal Court. So, it's Kessler's job to allow TB to make those points while also indicating that he'll rip the science apart if Goodell doesn't accept Brady's denial.
The Union wants to show that as well, but it also wants to make the case that the League proceeded in an arbitrary manner with its investigation, used bogus scientific evidence to bring down one of its members and then set a precedent by excessively penalizing a team for the purported actions of a member of its union.
Those are different, but complementary agendas.
What ever happened to doing the right thing?
People keep talking about what Goodell should make up in order to look good. Why not just tell the truth and admit Wells did a terrible job and there is nothing to support his conclusion.
I dont understand how people think Goodell looks better by lying then losing on court and sayong he tried to screw Brady but the court found the truth,
well seeing the pictures of Brady, he sure seems confident.
Wells is not an idiot. He's one of the most successful litigators in the US with multiple big court victories notched on his gun. Like all big time litigators he "wins some and he loses some." He's wrong here, but he's not an idiot.
But we are talking about peoples advice to Goodell or opinion of how he should or will act based ipon his own self interest. Why would supporting a clearly stupid conclusion only to be proved wrong in court be best for him?that gets hard in the name of collecting 40-something million per year
these guys are a bunch of narcissists
I suspect this is going to be more like a settlement conference than an appeal.
Kessler, "Hi Roger. We're going to kick your ass in court. But before we do, we're graciously giving you this final opportunity to come to your senses and back down. Any popularity hit you take now will pale in comparison to the consequences of court proceedings."
That's what the Appeal will come down to. The texts, the long phone call and the meeting in the QB room. He has to convince Goodell that there is another explanation for all of that other than that TB knew about activities that broke the rules either before or as a result of those events.they are going to question him extensively about the texts. he better have good answers.
That makes sense since the case is being heard before a zombie. and his top aides are blood sucking vampires...Wow, one of his attorneys is the Bride of Frankenstein!

Does anyone else have to be under oath or do Goodell et al get to lie with impunity?Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 1m1 minute ago
During today's appeal, Tom Brady is testifying under oath, per source.
He's one of the most successful litigators in the US with multiple big court victories notched on his gun.
But we are talking about peoples advice to Goodell or opinion of how he should or will act based ipon his own self interest. Why would supporting a clearly stupid conclusion only to be proved wrong in court be best for him?
