"108. Vincent apparently chose not to apply the Player Policies to Brady because a fine would not have
quenched other NFL owners' thirst for a more draconian penalty. But the NFL was not at liberty to disregard the specified and collectively bargained penalties in the Player Policies for which players have
notice.
No other penalty or policy applicable to players for equipment violations involving competitive advantage
was ever provided to Brady or any other player."
This is a pretty damning statement if it can be proven. Witch hunt much? Where do the other owners get to be involved in determining the punishment?
Could this statement be grounds for legal action to try and get the stolen picks back?
