Brady Wins! BBBBRRRRRRAAAADDDDDYYYYYYY WINS!

From SI and MMQB a while back:

1. Berman’s direct and strident questioning of NFL attorney Dan Nash about evidence of ball deflation had to be concerning to the NFL. Although the appellate review was supposed to be more about process than evidence, Berman asked about what direct evidence the NFL had of deflation and of Brady’s involvement, beyond the circumstantial evidence raised in the Wells report. The NFL attorneys had to be shaking their heads at a line of inquiry questioning the evidence the league spent $3 million to collect.

Berman ripped apart the NFL on the evidence of deflated balls.

He didn't have to do that.

If anyone claims this is all just technical, realize that the questioning that lead up to the technical decision was just extra, not needed, but the judge ripped the NFL anyway.

Freaking berman. Wasted 2 days of my work making me press F5 all day and now is going to waste 2 more workday days with me celebrating

Professional football, at least. He'll be the first to tell you that he's been playing tackle football since he was 7. Which might help explain how he manages to be so goddamn stupid.

I thought the suspensions were in place prior to Vincent's letter.

There are two letters from Vincent. One to Brady notifying him of his suspension and one to Kraft and the Patriots notifying them of the suspensions of Jastremski and McNally..

Yesterday on Dan Patrick show they reached out to the patriots asking why these guys were suspended. Stacey james replied back asking them to read vincent's ruling.

Put him in Patriots Hall Of Fame and give him Kraft's SB Win that is if he ever gets it back from Putin.

One disturbing note from Berman according to Judy Batista, Berman noted that Roger Goodell was deemed to be an impartial arbiter. First that kind of blows my mind, and I worry about what impact that tidbit might have in appeal.

Then off course since I haven't read the decision myself (and I doubt Judy did either), I love if someone more proactive will confirm or deny this surprising remark.

BTW- Judy did say this was the only positive for the NFL. The rest was totally in favor of the NFLPA

The failure of notice is the nail in the coffin.. a 2nd circuit judge would have to overturn 3 factors that Berman vacated the suspension on, oNE of which is impossible because you can't go back in time and give notice..

This is over. Goodell will continue to make a fool of himself in appeal because he's a narcissistic ****, but Brady will not be serving any suspension in this life time or the next

JUSTICE PREVAILS!

I still want idiots like Doyel to tell us EXACTLY what happened, and to explain clearly how they know this happened. I mean, if he's going to call it a "fact"......

But it does demonstrate, yet again, the own-goal Kraft scored by his pathetic rolling over act.

Just heard Shefter (I think) mention that Sean Peyton could look into how his case was handled now that a lot of the "behind the scenes" activity has been exposed.

You know, I have re-examined my acceptance of the Sean Peyton suspension after this whole fiasco. I will no longer just accept the NFL's version of things through my rose-colored fan glasses when another team is put through this BS.

No. But you can get CTE from too many shots to the head.. Like from taking punches or from banging your head against a wall. And I'm pretty sure that Goodell has had that happening of late..

Doyel is the same one who implied that Reggie Wayne was a traitor for signing with the Pats after being unceremoniously dumped by the Colts.

No, it's not impossible. The CA2 panel could rule that notice actually was given or that notice was not required.

YEAHHHHH!!!!! FINALLY JUSTICE IS SERVED IN THE WORST WITCH HUNT IN THE HISTORY OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTS!!!! That shameful WEASEL GODELL SHOULD BE VACATED IMMEDIATELY FROM HIS POSITION FOR EVEN ALLOWING THIS TOGET TO THIS POINT ! Shame on him.....I HOPE THIS RULING GIVES HIM AND EVERY OTHER HATING F*CKER THE WORST CASE OF RED *** HEMMORHOIDS THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!!!

Tom Brady is INNOCENT BEEYATCHES!!!!

Doesn't change the fact Colts suck massive chode and are such a terrible franchise they raise participation banners like they're playing tee-ball.

We have to win in Indy in week 5 , dont care for the first 4 weeks.

thanks. that one was so good that I had to think about it for a moment before going all ROFL.

juny said:

Does that mean those factors are still in play in an appeal? Would be hilarious if appeal upheld and even more factors used against NFL.

Click to expand...

No, but if it were overturned and sent back to Berman, he could/would then use them as reasons to vacate the decision a second time. He made this as bulletproof as humanly possible....

Could you explain how they could rule that notice was not required when that is the basis of punishment of every CBA? Berman even pointed that out..
