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.
