Definitely is, but it would make my homer self feel better

I still think this entire saga became screwed when Brady got up to that podium and played dumb instead of vehemently denying the accusations and setting the record straight.

The passive approach bit him in the ***

He didn't play dumb, he was legitimately baffled since he didn't understand how the balls could be at the levels the NFL* said they were.

True, but that at least was about something that, if it happened, actually mattered.

Even if everything the NFL says is true (which it isn't) this had no effect on anything.

McCann's take on where things are:
The Supreme Court would be Tom Brady’s last stand

YOUGOTMOSSED · Jul 13, 2016

Looks like Brady is getting suspended for something he's innocent of.

Hillary avoids prosecution despite overwhelming evidence of guilt and lying to the FBI.

Great legal system, huh?

It is what it is, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm disappointed, but you know what? It'll be an interesting vibe at training camp in two weeks.

Time to throw your Free Brady T-Shirts in the laundry and cowboy up!

FWIW, McCann points out on twitter that when Maurice Clarett asked RBG for a stay back in 2004 she made her decision (deny) in two days.

Disgusting. **** the ignorant losers who overturned judge Berman.

A lot higher if a decision on the Peterson case (upholding the district court, of course), comes out in the next few weeks.

I think it's a long shot at best. Frankly, it would be an embarrassment if the Supreme Court takes this case - I'd be happy of course from a Patriots' fan level, and as a non-union worker with an arbitration clause in his contract, I would also be very happy as I think the current ruling is really crappy from an overall arbitration perspective. But it's an embarrassment to the NFL that they would do something like this, and an embarrassment to our justice system that the lower level courts couldn't get something like this right and that the top level court needs to waste its precious time over something so trivial.

Good news for me, just rechecked my contract and it's not arbitration after all, it's court in Delaware. Of course, I'd have to go to Delaware.....

BradyFTW! · Jul 13, 2016

Man, the US legal system is utterly ****ed.

Lesson learned: I will never sign any contract with an arbitration clause. This case has made it abundantly clear (and set precedent) for how useless arbitration is to the worker.

Think I'll be taking a year off (at least) from watching the NFL.

Goodell must be taking a victory lap right now... If you haven't seen it yet the NFLPA put out a statement I'll put a link below If anyone is interested.

TOTAL BS! Fix was in since get'go. Witch Hunt, Set Up, Made Example Of Etc Etc Etc. Throw in Brady not goin to White House pssin off what's his name, FK IT! BLAME EVERYONE!!!
And if some beLIEve Brady did know and approved of it, it's ONLY a $25,000 fine in which ALL QBs past present and you can bet in future want footballs a certain way to their liking.
What ever road you take it goes down to goodell* & cronies* rewriting rules and makin a mockery outta GOAT QB and makin owners lots of money using Brady while they're all hypocites, jealous b'tches because their teams SUCK, fail to win and keep up with us year after year after year With TB & BB.
Anyway I'm rockin my Brady tee today LOUD & Proud here in NY. BRING IT!
Cheers!

So as things stand now, can Brady participate in training camp or does he need to stay away until week 5?

What's really going to bake your noodle (ha) is why we needed the precedent set in the first place for something we should have already known. Smh at this ****. Goodell just signed his own lifetime ban fur the whole state of Mass.

He can participate in TC.

Yeah agreed, they definitely trapped and screwed him, but part of me anyway, would still come out there and trash all of it and demand actual proof of the PSI levels, of which eventually the NFL had none of. I certainly wouldn't sit back and say "I don't think so" when a dips**t reporter asks me if I'm a cheater. I'd personally go crazy if some no name joke said that to me.

But at the end of the day, Tom's tenor clearly isn't one to lash out and make a scene, so he did what he thought was best at the time, and for that I cannot fault him.

does anyone know if a cert petition to SCOTUS is an automatic stay? i would think not - hence, the need for ruth bader ginsburg to be on our side. just wanted to make sure.

That's silly.

Brady and the team get screwed by the league and you keep pumping money into the league coffers?

Watching the game on tv doesn't pump any money into their coffers. The TV money is already there and isn't affected by whether or not you watch a given game. It doesn't fluctuate with the ratings.

SHOWTIME15 · Jul 13, 2016

here's the thing - the team plays better when it's angry. if it means a 5th title so be it.

Well we all know what Brady did is was worse than what Clarett did ;-)

The next contract's value is controlled in part by the ratings. Declining TV ratings would eventually result in lower revenues for the league. Rising or even flat ratings would prove to all that the fans don't even care if the league is rigged, they will keep watching, making those contracts a better investment than ever before.
