It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Is it just me, or does the NFL seem to not be aware that it was the Judge himself who steered the direction of the questions from this past Wednesday? Clearly, the facts of how the NFL arrived at Brady's guilt is important to Judge Berman, so I just don't understand their stance that all that stuff is irrelevant.
Stradley hasn't had anything about it yet. Someone shoot her the link, I would be interested in her take on the filing.
What does CA2 stand for ?
Right. Most likely it gets sent back to a neutral arbitrator but based on precedent a neutral arbitrator would issue a fine and now suspension.
Brady can avoid this uncertainty by settling.
I am a lawyer and my guess is this settles on Sept 3. Brady agrees to a hefty fine and no suspension. Lots of pressure being put on the NFL since their little PR crusade has no been exposed.
I don't think Kraft's suing anyone for defamation.
2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, the locale for this case. Precedents are either binding or persuasive, Precedent in this jurisdiction (CA2) would be binding but decisions from outside are persuasive and influence judges but don't bind them. The fact that the NFL didn't cite any 2nd Circuit cases means there are no cases that would bind the judge. Different circuits often have contradictory rulings which can thendecided by a higher court like the US Supreme Court which would be binding on all...What does CA2 stand for ?

Nugget from filing: NFL says Goodell could have increased the discipline based on appeal hearing, but chose not to. First I've seen that.

CBA says"unnecessary roughness or unsportsmanlike conduct discipline" can't be increased but "no such limitation w/conduct detrimental" Hmm.
(Note that Brandt has been a player agent and has worked pretty high up in the GB front office.)
