NFLPA suit

Many great points in the brief but I must have missed the part of an immediate injunction against the suspension until a trial date has been set. Maybe that comes later?

It looks like the NFLPA lawsuit filed in Minnesota was assigned to Judge Richard H. Kyle, appointed by President George H.W. Bush in 1992.

I read they wanted Doty. Big deal?

Everything us fans have discussed in detail or bits and pieces is there and now finally, there is a chance someone truly neutral is going to have the chance to hear it.

The biggest let down at this point would be a denial. But fortunately I'm leaning towards circumstance and Goodell totally screwing this up by making himself the arbitrator.

Kyle may recuse himself...I think he was the Judge during the 2011 suit before he recused himself and Doty picked it up..

Wow, Kessler cites Krafts comments earlier today. Looks like the Krafts might be working with Brady's legal team.

Because the Award was issued on the eve of the 2015 NFL season, it will ineparably harm Brady if he misses games while the Court considers the merits of the Petition.
Accordingly, the NFLPA and Brady will shortly file a Motion for Preliminary Injunction or, in the Altemative, for Expedited Disposition so that relief can be granted prior to September 4, 2015, when the Patriots begin final preparations for their first regular season game.

From Brady suit: "The purportedly independent Wells Report was edited by Pash, the NFL's General Counsel, before its public release."

Another nail in Goodell's coffin.

I know I'm a little slow here, lol, but the fact they only wanted Bradys texts from his conversations with the 2 pats employees and the fact that they had their phones and had Bradys detailed phone bill, they could easily match up bradys texts to them and know that they had them all.....so what's the big problem? Why are no media people pointing that out, about everyone I've seen it's still "destroyed ".....their just going to cling to that like they did the 2 psi under false information.

Yee has been pointing that out. All the texts matched up except for three unrelated ones.

I'm sure Jerry Rice, Mark Schlereth and the San Diego Chargers appreciate you not highlighting the illegal substance part.

Aaron Rogers is in it. hahaha

113. Additionally, on that same day during the 2014 season, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers stated publicly that he "like to push the limit to how much air we can put in the football, even go over what they allow you to do and see if the officials take air out of it." NFLPA Ex. 177. Despite this public statement, no investigation or punishment of Rodgers ensued

60. Because of the absence of any protocols or basic understanding of what factors are relevant to football deflation, the data collection was a disaster. None of the following was recorded: the temperature on the field; the temperature in the officials' locker room where the balls were tested; the specific gauge used to conduct the testing (where, as here, multiple gauges were used and each had very different calibrations and yielded different readings); whether the balls were wet or dry (and how wet or dry); the sequence and timing of the halftime measurements (this was the most critical factor, because both teams' balls would warm and gain pressure minute-by-minute after being returned from the cold and wet field to the warm and dry locker room, yet the balls were measured at different times). The Wells Report even states that the PSI measurements of tlhe eleven Patriots balls and four Colts balls that were measured-the only data that was recorded-contain a transcription error. NFLPA Ex. 7, Wells Report at 69 n,41

Glad to see that they're just thoroughly trashing the investigation itself, and not just the appeal process.

Right or wrong, the fact that the NFL doesn’t, and hasn’t, suspended players for such behavior arguably means that the NFL can’t suddenly start doing it, without collective bargaining. Which means that the NFL technically cannot suspend Brady for failing to cooperate — and that no players can be suspended for failing to cooperate until the NFL secures the ability to do so at the bargaining table.

The document also contains a lengthy quote from the statement provided on Wednesday by Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Which really isn’t surprising. Kraft’s verbal challenge to the league office sounds a lot like the kind of rhetoric for which NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith often draws criticism.

This time around, the union Smith runs and the team Kraft owns have one big thing in common: They agree in their mutual strong criticism of the NFL.

oh snap!!!

Once I read that whole document. This is what goodell must be thinking once he reads this...

We may see Judge Doty after all.

It's mentioned.

28. Because the Award was issued on the eve of the 2015 NFL season, it will irreparably harm Brady if he misses games while the Court considers the merits of the Petition. Accordingly, the NFLPA and Brady will shortly file a Motion for Preliminary Injunction or, in the Alternative for Expedited Disposition so that relief can be granted prior to September 4, 2015, when the Patriots begin final preparations for their first regular season game

They attacked the suspension from a bunch of different angles. Still reading, on page 33.. I know I'm biased but this absolutely kills the NFL* letter. The great thing is it's all the things we've been reading and posting here for months. They are blasting everything... and the best part is most of it is available for the general public to read. It's almost like the NFLPA has been reading our forums!
