@WallachLegal thinks by the end of this week or next CA2 will order the NFL to file a reply brief.when we get news if the hearing will be granted?? couple more weeks?
@WallachLegal thinks by the end of this week or next CA2 will order the NFL to file a reply brief.
If they do so, that means CA2 won't be dismissing Brady's request out of hand (doesn't mean they won't ultimately dismiss it, though).
Wallach also pointed out that in CA2's most recent en banc they took nine months from when the reply brief was submitted to when they made the decision to grant en banc review.
Now I might be stating the obvious, but IF in fact Brady manages to get his appeal heard by the full panel of judges, will he then be able to file a motion to stop the suspension until the CA2 files its verdict?@WallachLegal thinks by the end of this week or next CA2 will order the NFL to file a reply brief.

But what if CA2 asks the NFL for a rebuttal and then wait 9 months, like they did in this other case, before they even decide whether to review it or not? Is there a separate step, in the interim, for the NFLPA to have the penalty delayed? If so, is it CA2 who would grant the stay?
I just plain don't know.Yes.
74 and Quantum could give a more accurate take but imo they wouldn't ask the NFL to take that kind of action if they aren't heading to another hearing. These lawyers rack up big hourly charges and even though the NFL has more money than god the court wouldn't ask them to run up legal fees for no reason.
from your lips to God's ears...Oh, you're certainly right about that. Feinberg wants the panel decision wiped out because he thinks that it'll eventually be construed as to bleep over arbitration in general. He's worried (IMHO) the judges aren't thinking that way -- that they're thinking there isn't general applicability because of the uniqueness of the CBA -- but they're wrong about the consequences of their decision. Hence his filing the brief (with no doubt some phone calls from Olson to help ) which (IMHO) he hopes leads them to think "My god, what did we just do?!?"
I never meant to suggest that it was Johnson's ego. Pretty sure it was Kessler's.
As for Johnson's history with one of the judges...that's somewhere between an unverifiable hypothesis and a wild ass guess, dontcha think?
But do they let the MLB Commissioner be the arbitrator? (I honestly don't know, as I give fewer than zero fu**s about baseball.)
Investigations:
The Commissisoner's Office will invesigate all allegations of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse involving members of the baseball community. The Commissioner may place an accused player on paid administrative leave for up to seven days while allegations are investigated. Players may challenge any decision before the arbitration panel.
Discipline:
The Commissioner will decide on appropriate discipline, with no minimum or maximum penalty under the policy. Players may challenge such decisions to the arbitration panel.

So, hypothetically speaking--say it takes 6 months this time around. That could place Brady in harm's way of missing 4 games come Dec/Jan, couldn't it?
That is probably the NFL's wet dream hope.
You really think so? I figure the Other 31 would love to see NE have to play minus Brady in the postseason or miss the postseason altogether because of a missing Brady late in the regular season.Brady missing playoff games because of this might be the one thing that could get Goodell fired.

I have to admit I actually thought the league would never make Brady miss the Thursday night opener last year because of the negative imact on ratings advertising and generally bad publicity but since then it's become pretty clear that this is about the other 31 owners trying to gain a competitive advantage over the Pats. So yeah I think they would actually be pretty happy to see Brady miss the playoffs. I'd even take it a step further and say the league would try to maneuver the penalty to occur at the end of the season if they could.You really think so?
