It's impossible to know from tweets what is actually going on in the courtroom. We have almost no context. Let's reserve judgment until we have a full transcript or the Court releases audio.

what evidence??? chin doesnt make any sense.
and i thought these guys were sane. the fix might be in!

Kessler steps down. That was rough.

Can we blame McDaniels somehow if we lose?

Kessler had it rough

Relax


Edit:

WTF?

What the hell is there to disagree with about "Relax"?

I read tweets that say Kessler is basically accusing the NFL of a frame job. Can't wait to read the transcript!

No matter what happens, the real losers are the taxpayers.

Clement: Appeals court has history of deferring to arbitrators.

We have to understand how people read into things, just like the media, and the haters, he sees the fact that footballs were deflated and thinks it had to be the cause of wrongdoing. I'm surprised the lawyers didn't bring up the IGL or the fact Colt's footballs were deflated as well. Also just like the media, they went all Stephen A Smiff and focused on, "Oh my God he destroyed his phone", without a good rebuttal by Kessler. Kinda pissed at Brady's lawyers. Though we may only be getting the highlights (or lowlights).

Deferring to arbitrators or biased arbitrators?

Woah. Judge Chin says evidence of ball tampering was "compelling, if not overwhelming.

And the children !

I don't like this one bit. What happens if he loses ? Can he re- appeal ? This whole issue is such a farce !!

Clement gets one question on rebuttal, and the hearing is over.

I know it's early, but I'm still nervous, don't like some of the comments they made. And you know if they overturn Bermans decision it will be "see he was guilty all along". Not that this is just about the process....although they were quick to point out that Brady winning first round was only about the process not that he was innocent. Man I can't wait for this to be over. I shouldn't care too much about this crap but I do!

we don't know how Kessler responded. We only have the tweets which didn't say. We need to wait for the transcript.

NY State and Federal Judiciary is generally incompetent, corrupt and/or nutty. Berman may have simply been a pleasant surprise.

The epicenter of all irrational, spontaneous and unfiltered thought.
