Roger Goodell and two others just left Brady hearing.

Haven't seen Brady leave yet but could have left at any time through basement garage.

Means it's over. Were the other 2 each holding a pocket you think?

Those who get the reference get to feel good about themselves as a reward.

The Tom Brady hearing has concluded…10 hours. No further hearings are scheduled

Now the waiting game begins. Gotta think Brady's team did a bang up job to be going for this long.

Also gotta think it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. The outcome of this was decided back in January.

Or goodell gave wells all the time he needed to go over and defend his report and attack the AEI report.

10hrs...millions of dollars....40 people...1000s of hours of wasted time..lives turned upside-down.

All for investigating the deflation of footballs that never happened.

What a waste.

Volin has been waiting all day to use that joke

@RossTuckerNFL: Cool. Only 5-9 weeks before we get a ruling. RT: @RapSheet: The Tom Brady hearing has concluded. No further hearings are scheduled.

Gary Myers ‏@garymyersNYDN 17m17 minutes ago
Brady left thru basement garage. He was there for 11 hours. Then lawyers met for 20 minutes.

Tom E. Curran ‏@tomecurran 19m19 minutes ago
Jeffrey Kessler states: "I don't know what timetable will be. We presented a very compelling case." Said there's no Thursday meeting.

And were back. No real news yet

Hearing Brady didn't even testify. Good thing he was under oath... Though I have a suspicion people are misinterpreting not speaking to media after the hearing for not speaking at all during the hearing...

Peter Schrager ‏@PSchrags 35m35 minutes ago
And from everyone I'm speaking with, the longer the better for the Brady camp. They're on the offensive, here.

Lorenzo Reyes ‏@LorenzoGReyes 26m26 minutes ago
#NFLPA counsel Jeffrey Kessler, just now: "We put in a very compelling case, that's all I'll say." #Deflategate

Tom E. Curran ‏@tomecurran 21m21 minutes ago
Tom Brady left about 20 minutes ago through the parking garage according to a police officer.

Dan Hausle ‏@dhausleon7 22m22 minutes ago
Being told Brady slipped away from hearing unseen. His NFLPA atty J Kessler told us they presented strong case. Did best they could. #7News

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 20m20 minutes ago
NFLPA lawyer to reporters RT @BartHubbuch: Tom Brady didn’t speak but attorney Jeff Kessler said: “Tom was there until the BITTER end.”

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 19m19 minutes ago
As reporters raced after him RT @MikeGarafolo: On way out of 345 Park, Ted Wells says he testified today. No further comment beyond that.

Arbitration is supposed to be strictly confidential, but fair to say that won't hold true for Tom Brady's hearing. Get ready for the leaks.

Well MCI is really earning his new nickname. White smoke is used when a decision is made. Knowing goodell and the nyjfl mafia a decision won't be made until at least mid-way through training camp.

Was told by person in today's appeal that Tom Brady's greatest ally was...Tom Brady. Offered explanations in all areas. Now up to Goodell.

counters the report that says Brady didn't testify

As I said, I have a suspicion people are misinterpreting not speaking to media after the hearing for not speaking at all during the hearing...

sambam94 said:

well, we don't know he did absolutely nothing..now do we?

of course we do unless you are accusing him of suspending the laws of science

Wells testified, but Brady didn't?!?! Sounds like I need to get some more popcorn.... or better sources.

Yeah, hard to imagine that Tom wouldn't speak a word, Goodell said one of the biggest things he wanted was to speak to Tom face to face.

Then again, I'd refuse to speak too if thats what he wanted from me. Give him nothing.
