Brady appeal transcript is now public

Notice the timeline. The idiots in the NFL office slowly figured out that the Ideal Gas Law presented a problem for them and their sting operation. Immediately, the NFL leaked misinformation to their servant in the press…ESPN. The NFL also provided misinformation to NE in order to muffle NE’s objections.
The Nevada Gaming Commission has nothing on the NFL

Skip Bayless:

"Molly, I wish my chair had a seat belt because I may need one. Stephan A. Smith, After what I read last night and what I heard and you can yawn all you want because I am going to back you into the deepest corner you have ever been in on this show.

I believe more than ever that Tom Brady is 100% innocent as charged and as convicted in the court of public opinion. I believe that what I read last night, thankfully it was all released to the public, that Tom Brady was in fact ambushed and railroaded and ultimately framed by the NFL and a commissioner who constantly mislead the public with exaggerated and irrelevant claims that prompted most people to leap to the conclusion, the premature conclusion, that Tom Brady is a liar and a cheater.

He swore in testimony on appeal that he was 100% innocent. That he knew absolutely nothing about over/under inflated footballs- any footballs that got tampered with whatsoever, about deflated footballs because he said "My equipment people said they knew nothing about it. And I took that as the truth coming from them."

So now we had Ted Wells on appeal admitting that he told Tom Brady that nothing he can do, if you don't give me your text, if you don't give me your emails, you cannot be punished for giving up those things. And we also have heard from Tom Brady that even before Wells interrogated him the NFLPA told Tom Brady under no circumstance would you be forced to give up your right to privacy and your cellphone. And, again, admitting the fact the NFL already has possession the texts from Jermensky that Tom Brady had sent to him. So they had plenty already.

But then Ted Wells says "In all my 40 years in this business I've never seen anyone with such an ill advised decision, that Tom Brady not giving me the texts and emails that I requested from him because I lost credibility in Tom Brady." You know why he said that? Because that is all they had was that Tom Brady failed to cooperate, as you say. That's the only reason to say that is because that's all they had on Tom Brady.

And then Brady said he knew nothing about PSI until that October 16, 2014 game against the Jets in which he found his footballs dramatically over inflated. So he said what are the rules? And so he got a rule sheet and started having his equipment people take it out to the referees and say here are the rules because the refs didn't know the rules. You can't inflate those footballs up to 16 PSI. So Brady said "hey, inflate them to 12.5 PSI because that's the legal limit". He does like them a little under inflated but he did not talk about that in his appeal interrogation. So in the end I think this commissioner is looking worse and worse."



Stephen A.:

"Blah Blah Blah."

Comment by this guy truthprofessor from the PFT article: "Transcript proves NFL didn’t know air pressure could drop naturally"

   This November your air pressure light will come on in your car. You apparently can blame Tom Brady for taking air out overnight, according to the NFL, Colts fans, Ravens fans, ESPN, and legions of other Patriots haters everywhere.
   
   That dude Brady gets around! He’s deflating tires in Australia as we speak. This must stop.

I don't know why the media is on the settlement train. Yes the judge told them to work it out but if Kraft couldn't broker it before and that's what he's best at I doubt cooler heads are going to prevail now. People keep saying well this or that will come out in court and neither side wants that. Look at the dirty laundry littering their path over the past 7 months. Neither side cares. They just want to win and rub the other side's face in it.

Because they've had Brady pegged as guilty since day one and don't want to change their stance. In their view, innocent people don't settle. If Brady agrees to a settlement, they can still say, "See, he must have done something. Otherwise, he would have fought this to the end." They'd rather stick to their narrative rather than look at the truth.

I think some plow drivers have made his last winter even more miserable. One of the few times I've listened, he was moaning that the giant snowbanks in front of his walkway/driveway were intentional.

his = ?

This has been about the phone all along. Why is it about the phone?
The NFLPA handed excessive powers to the NFL, which it has used, abused and screwed up in the Rice, Peterson, Hardy cases.
What it didn't have was subpoena power. How badly did that hurt them in those cases?
Make no mistake the primary goal of the NFL in everything it does is to hold down the players.
So, they have a chance to essentially guarantee subpoena power here.
Ask Tom Brady for his phone and/or records. They have no right under the CBA to do so.
They do not tell him there would be any consequences for not doing so after he says his attorney advises him not to. (Wells goes into great length about how they didn't explain that further, which is ridiculous because there is no reason to)

Now we learn that Wells says the PRIMARY reason for finding Brady guilty is that because he wouldn't turn over the phone that caused him to find every other word out of his mouth not credible.
Further, he creates his own version of the Deflator and Dorito Dink texts because he chooses not to believe Brady, because he didn't give him voluntary subpoena power, and although his phone would show the same texts, because he couldn't see them on Brady's.
Wells was extremely clear that not giving up the phone caused him to judge every other statement Brady made as not credible.

Goodell upheld the suspension because Brady got rid of the phone they had no right to see.

In the end, if Brady loses, every player ever asked for ANY item will be forced by precedent to give it.
Even if Brady wins or settles, it is very likely any players asked for any item will capitulate rather than be dragged through the NFL negative media machine for 6 months or more.

Lets hope Kessel conveys this point to Berman.

Espn whatever......Stephen assmunch Smith. Typical bs, didn't have to be psychic to know how this was going to go. Brady...phone....
Deserved suspension.....smug Brady....knew what was going on
..not about cba...about Brady cheating..Kessler tried changing the focus..speaks over Bayless...rolls eyes and several dismissive gestures. Typical.

Up next...Ray Rice...he's sincere...deserves a 2nd chance...100% vouch for
Character...new man.

Loser...........

I have real questions as to whether they were ignorant of weather impacts.

For example, why did they check the Colts balls at all?

Did McNally have access to the Colts balls?

Why check them at halftime?

The only reason would have to be the NFL suspected weather might influence them.

Somebody tell me why the Colts balls were checked.

I think they really went out of their way to get the Patriots, weather be damned.

Why was this merged? It is a different topic.

Question: with Goodell breaching the CBA multiple times can the PA tear it up and go on strike due to the league invalidating the contract?

They stopped at 4 because they were scared. "Wtf, we pumped these up to 13 psi before the game. What happened?" Kensil: "stop measuring them right ----ing now."

Where DID the leak re "Tom Brady wanted to have this sealed" come from ? Clearly, the Brady camp specifically asked for this to be shared.

I am very frustrated with the continuous and false leaks. Until docs like this come out - it is impossible to believe anything being reported. Sham and a shame.

Kessler clearly asks in the transcript that this me made public same day and NFL guy ignores him. But no one in the media has picked up on that sadly.

The question is : DID anyone do anything illegal to footballs in January. The answer is : Tom Brady's phone.

Huh?

I thought with a judge it's all or nothing. I can't see Brady settling for 2 with the corrupt league.

Not quite all or nothing. I believe the judge can order neutral arbitration.
