Differing opinions on bradys chances. All dependent on a judges opinion.
I meant exactly what I said.
I assumed that its readers would be people of at least average intelligence and good will. Admittedly, on a board as popular as this one, that assumption is not 100% accurate.
Or jets kicking ball violationNot sure who pointed it out to MCI, but he mentioned in a tweet that the Brady Lawsuit points out that no Dolphins players were suspended/punished for being "generally aware" of the Incognito situation.
Hes lost in federal court many times which is why I am optimistic. The issue is that the NFLPA hasn't asked/pushed for an amendment to the CBA calling for a more transparent, less draconian process. IE- there is no teeth to bite the NFL if it screws up.
Yes- he has limits. He also needs to follow a process which on numerous occasions he hasn't.Agreed RW. Unless I mistake past case/procedure specifics, it is firmly on the books that Goodell has a distinct limit on his power to decide punishment. So I have been optimistic on Brady prevailing on reduction of the punishment. However that optimism is lesser now because new, and sanctioned, punishment authority verbiage is in place, and because Goodell is blatantly using Brady/deflategate to launch a Barbarossa level offensive to define greater power and authority. Their looking to blaze a new legal/procedural proof trail that allows him to hand out punishment much more arbitrarily. Unfortunately, I assume, Goodell's legal team is good enough to possibly make that happen(hopefully their offensive will be as epic a failure as Barbarossa was).
On the NFLPA request, that's a non starter. The NFL isn't going to give up a scintilla of power without a brawl. I think it is a non starter to look for any amendment to the existing agreement. This kind of change will only happen when the CBA expires/the next negotiation begins, and the NFLPA demands/holds out for that blatant and obvious need for a neutral third party arbitration requirement for all suspension level punishments.
Did they ask for everyone's cellphone in the NFL Offices when they investigated the Ray Rice fiasco?? The selective rule enforcement, changing the rules and then overreach for penalties might be deciding factors..

Don't forget in speaking to a Jester fan he must use scatological adjectives every second or third word, too.Kessler's explanation was so clear that even a Colts fan could understand it.
Maybe the Colts fan could even understand it well enough to explain it to a Jets fan.
Maybe.
If he had hand puppets.
And if he focused on using one and two syllable words.
