Michael McCann retweeted AP NFL

Judge Berman likely won't say which side has better case. He doesn't want to advantage one side in settlement talks.

#Deflategate judge says both Brady, Goodell have strengths in their arguments. Undecided on who will prevail. http://apne.ws/1IKILXf

Nash: So-called independence of Mr Wells, is...a complete red herring. Under the CBA it is not an argument that has any legal significance

I know it sounds really great for us from the tweets and it's great that Berman is giving credence to a lot of the points that Kessler contended, but everyone should try not to get overly excited until we hear what Berman has to say to Brady too. Berman himself stated that he sees weaknesses in both sides, and we don't know what he has in store for Brady and the NFLPA yet.

Berman grilling Nash on why some evidence used in Wells report wasn't shared with Brady team. Nash says it was privileged.

Oh, wonderful. Now we're using evidence that the accused has no right to examine and defend himself against?

Hahaha, and only yesterday Goodell said it was independent. I wanted to know fi the judge asked nash if the report was independent or not yes/no.

Anyhow Iam sure the judge is going grill brady's team next. So not getting too excited yet.

With a Sean Connery accent that sounds so much better.

This. He is going to push Kessler as hard as he can too. He will ask some questions that make us uncomfortable. Nevertheless, I love that he is asking about "direct evidence."

Berman: Turns out Mr. Brady did better with higher inflated balls than underinflated balls. You might say he got no competitive advantage

Well... yeah.

VectorPrime · Aug 12, 2015

Berman needs to ask Nash and Goodell straight up, is the Wells report independent or not. Yes or no.
