How else can you explain Chin's line of questioning, " overwhelming evidence" when not even Goodell classified it as such and the gross number of factual errors in the decision from the number of times the term deflator was actually used (once in the off season) among others that I don't need to rehash.....??
There were multiple ways he could have overturned Berman's decision yet he opted for the one with the least evidence and the most factual mistakes....
It's rare to read a court decision with factual errors due to the review process and the number of eyes that review something before it is filed with a court (as in the case of a brief) or a decision issued by a judge....The high profile nature of this case makes it more of a headscratcher....
Go back and read quantum's posts for an explanation from a legal-process insider.
I think based on what others have said and general hear-say about the appelate process, that it could have been Chin throwing out a pitch for him to hit out of the park with a full explanation contradicting chin. But because the appelate guys tend to be antagonistic or obnoxious in how they ask questions , the brady legalteam reacted poorly/unprofessionally for that level and consequently they lost on STYLE points, name-recognition of the lawyer factors, you pissed me off so i wont give you my vote, or a combination of all three; rather than on facts of the case.
