You think we got it bad? Imagine how much worse it is for Tom Brady

Can't be too bad: he made that amazing catch today.

As tempting a dream as that is, I'm not sure I want to risk losing that Super Bowl.

Just curious if you were moved by Bob Kraft yesterday enough to forgive him...and maybe forget

I don't understand. He acting in a manner that damaged the team. Yesterday he agreed with my viewpoint, why would that change my viewpoint?

If Earnest Byner admits he fumbled should Browns fans forgive and forget?

If they haven't they might want to consider therapy.

If only Kraft had not caved in May. If he had stuck to his guns, the stupid league would have realised that they risked pissing off one of the most influential owners and I honestly believe Brady would not be in this predicament right now. Damn Kraft....

This logic is crazy. So now fighting the NFL is going to convince them to stop their persecution of Brady? How's that working for Tom Brady?

Well the point is he can't unfumble.

My point was that if Kraft was ready to go to battle, maybe the commish would have thought twice about coming down so harshly on Brady. Anyway, it is just an opinion, nothing more, we will never know for sure what would have happened if Kraft had decided to sue or threaten to sue the NFL back in May.

I think the team penalties and the Brady suspension were handed down at the same time.

Pat Bradley, the author of that NESN page, has it incorrect. That footnote comes from Judge Kyle's ruling in Minnesota. Note how it's referring to "this Court" about the favorable past rulings. Judge Berman said nothing about this himself.

Ah, my bad

Seriously a judge is not going to rule based upon what team he roots for.

innocent people go to prison. there are no absolutes in the law. and there are judges out there who make crazy rulings all the time.

libra957 · Jul 30, 2015

It looks like the Judge doesn't even want the case, "the parties and counsel are directed forthwith actively to begin to pursue a mutually acceptable resolution of this case" just what the NFL was hoping.

That happens in most arbitration cases. Judges typically would much rather see a mutually-agreed to solution than one impose by the court.

I wouldn't take it as a positive or a negative thing. Just a thing.

So you are implying that it is possibly, even likely that the judge is a Jets fan and therefore will not rule on the evidence but on the uniform?

You are out of your mind.

Really? Seriously?

i didn't imply anything. I'm telling you that there are no absolutes in the law. I'm telling you that judges do crazy stupid things all the time. just watch the 6 o'clock news. is it possible that a judge would rule on something other than the facts of the case? in today's society you bet it is.
