NFL attorney Daniel Nash says "some in NFL" wanted 4 games for deflation and 4 games for non-cooperation. #benevolent

Haha, classic moving the middle. "We are compromising! Our original position was absurd beyond comprehension, so moving to merely ridiculous is us meeting Brady in the middle!"

Famously sleazy tactic in politics, not even a little surprised to see the NFL using it. Might as well demand he spend life in prison, then declare yourself the evenhanded compromiser for 'just' suspending him for life.

Can someone change the title of this thread? It's not accurate.

I've had a minor change of heart, I will gladly live with a Brady 1 game suspension for non-cooperation with, and only with, the following added conditions:

-the firing of Kensil, Vincent, Gardi. and Pash
-the resignation of Goodell
-100K fines for Irsay (leak to Kravitz), Grigson, and a 25K fine to the the Colts (testing a football)
-NFL apology to Brady and to the Patriots for ball deflation accusations

There is no progress without some pain!

UPDATE: Hearing over after 2:15. No settlement. Judge Berman was very, very critical of NFL. Brady/NFLPA are making a good case

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolin 2m2 minutes ago
Judge Berman was very critical of Goodell’s conparison of ball deflation to steroids, and that Wells Report has no Brady link to Jan. 18

This makes me wonder if the report of NFLPA accepting 1 game is an NFL leak after all.

Moving on to the actual hearing. Love this quote:

Kessler: "No one in the NFL knew anything about the ideal gas law, which is surprising because I think I studied that in 9th grade."

Schefter said it was when he filed his report.

"According to league sources, Brady would accept suspension"

That's why the title of this thread is incorrect, and it makes total sense for the NFL to leak this 3 hours before Nash and the NFL take an absolute ass-kicking in court.

It will get lost in the shuffle thanks to another splashy (but misleading) headline.

Yup, I was thinking the same thing.

Not that surprising knowing the NFL head office is filled with Jets fans.

Iam actually glad Nash said that some in NFL were considering 4 games for deflation and 4 games for non cooperation. Hopefully this will burn any settlement thoughts brady/PA had about 1 game.

Seems to makes sense that it PR leak by the NFL. They see the writing on the wall. Berman threw around the fairness term today. That's what this was all about. I can't fathom the NFLPA agreeing to a suspension for non cooperation. Bad precedent.

once again, you are talkng about a court of law wheras kontra is talkng about the court of public opinion.

the court of public opinion is a myth

 

[SHOWTIME15]

seems pretty clear judge berman will overturn this. where are the "brady should settle for 1 game and get the best deal" folks now?

 

[ViperGTS]

Eh not quite true.

 

[Archeryaddict12]

My take is Brady offered that to not only appear in good faith to the judge but to show he'll take one for the team to get this over with. But the fact the NFL won't budge and has stated they wanted 8 games shows to me Brady has better odds at a ruling in his favor then the nfls.

Those you seek reside here. Go forth at your own risk.

I was skeptical when I first saw Shefter's story this morning.

Based on the events today, now I believe the "leak" is just another bald-faced lie by the NFL. Shame on Commissioner Scheisskopf and his Goon Squad.

Eh not quite true.

with to respect with an upcoming season of football to be played, it is absolutely true

 

[Zeus]

Mods - please change title to "Brady may be willing to accept apology from NFL."

so you would rather have this crap go on all season long as a distraction rather than bite the bullet for one game? and how stupid will it look when in december the ruling is made and brady is still sitting there with 4 games?
