It's 4:12 pm Brady and Goodell still inside with Judge Berman. How do we read that?
Goodell is joining a fraternity:

For the point of that article, a hearing officer IS an arbitrator.. And the hearing officer is supposed to be determined with consultation from the Executive Director of the NFLPA. Just like the E.D. is also supposed to be consulted in advance of any penalty being assigned.
A wise man once said, "Stats are for losers."Look at the media pukes running with the stats, it's about all the nfl has left at this point.
What is absurd is your continuation with some ridiculous idea that Berman's questions didn't show just how flimsy the NFL's case was. Go waste someone else's time and not ours.
Nah, Berman is on our side and he's going to force Goodell to miss his plane to MN to see Doty tomorrow.Assuming this is true, two possibilities, not mutually exclusive:
1. Judge Berman is not letting the parties leave.
2. We're getting close to Endgame.
Interesting take. Brady looks a lot like Rob McElhenney.Goodell is on the left. This is an artist's depiction in judge's chambers after today's hearing.

Even if Berman is considering the actual substance of the Wells Report (which many of us lawyer's did not think he would do based on this being a CBA process issue), if he does consider it, it doesn't matter whether he thinks Brady is lying or not, or whether Brady is lying or not. All that matters is whether there is evidence that Brady actually committed the act, which I posit there isn't evidence of.

That's certainly possible. I think that his ultimate decision could be based on whether he thinks there is evidence of wrongdoing in the wells report and have his clerks craft an opinion that vacates (or confirms) the suspension based on CBA process law. Based on the way the questioning went I would think he was leaning more towards the NFLPA/Brady side than NFL side, but obviously we can't be sure.No, it really does matter whether he believes it is his jurisdiction to decide on football matters. The fact that he is obviously reading outside the Wells report to Brady's press conference means he is taking info from everywhere. It is definitely a good sign that he is interrogating the Wells report at all. But at the end of the day, if he feels that there was human deflation and lying, he may just elect to punt.
I doubt it. That would be a very bad look.The other thing that people should realize is that this is the NFL is not a court of law and Double Jeopardy doesn't exist. It wouldn't surprise me if the ****s came back with different charges/punishment even if Brady gets cleared. They're really bizarrely married to this and seem to want to stick it to Brady no matter how flimsy the evidence is.

Nope.. Never said that.. but that is typical. Over-react to something in a pathetic attempt to make the other person look bad. That is typical of people like yourself, upstarter, when you get confronted. Just like Goodell.So you speak for Patsfans.com. Get out of here.
Talk about megalomania.
