Some Comments on the Comments, and some general comments.
1. I finally got the why on the reason Mara was called in by page 6. Thanks to those who informed me.
2. Volin's comment that he thinks Brady will win, and Curran's comment that he thinks it's 50-50 only goes to show the full mendacity of these media pukes. Volin, who has carried the league's water for 7 months, wants us to believe that he finally sees the light.....with a an appeals qualifier. While Curran who has tried to see reason in several article, STILL hasn't got the balls to pick a side, and hedges his bets in a typically cynical mediot maneuver. Shame on both of them.
3. I find the Jay Feeley appearance to be a both interesting and deviously subtle by Kessler. Feeley was unable to testify, but by his mere appearance, the media picked up on it. They rapidly tried to figure out why he was there, and quickly got to the Jets equipment tampering saga, which fortifies the impression that Goodell impossed an unfair punishment and further shows how his rulings are capricious and arbitrarily applied.
4. I loved the line by the surprisingly erudite Matt Chatham, that (and I paraphrase) "The hearing lasted about the same time most mediots studied the Welles report."
5. It was interesting that the Judge commented that he felt in today's hearing "both sides tried hard". It would seem clear that both sides offered SOMETHING to each other. I wonder what each side was offering. Love to have been a fly on the "cloakroom" wall.
6. I agree that Berman has made his decision and given the bare bones of it to one of his clerks to flesh out. The "day or two" that is mentioned is the time it will take for him to go over what the clerk has written and make his comments and edits. IMHO, We'll hear sometime tomorrow.
7. This day was very Shakespearean. Unfortunately it was more about "Much ado about nothing", than anything climactic, like the death scene of Romeo and Juliet.
8. It's always a good day when you get to use the word erudite in a sentence and better yet when you spell it correctly.
Good point. Probably an over reaction to my normal sense of rage over this whole mess.
LOL..5 hours of tweets? Court lasted 5 minutes.
Maybe he used the court house stalls to take a healthy four hour mort.
What does this mean ?
Has to be something generally like that -- or else it's a misspeak by Feely, or a misquote, neither of which is very unlikely.
I think some NFL leaks in a few hours might confirm that.
You should have put the disclaimer first. I almost punched my monitor off the desk.
"Position" could mean:
