I disagree, I think it's really important that Florio and , and Curran et al are following this and blasting the NFL. Once Kraft capitulated it was all on Brady to challenge the NFL and this isn't the end of that process it's the beginning of it. It takes time to put together evidence of a frame up and that is what they are doing. What the NFL wanted was for everyone to buy their story, lock it down, punish Brady and be done with it. What Brady is doing is keeping it alive so that the media who care about the truth have the opportunity to uncover the web of lies the NFL has constructed, put the pieces together, and demonstrate just how corrupt and dishonest the NFL really is. The NFL league office is keenly aware of the progress that Florio, Jenkins and others are making and are desperate to put an end to this, thus Vincent's panicky response, because he will be one of those looking for work when this is over. And the reason he is trying to turn this into an issue of the NFLPA misusing their funds is because he realizes that Brady is about to co opt the support of all NFL players as he goes up against the commissioner and the abuses of the league office. Vincent is desperately trying to change that narrative at Brady's expense but is going to lose that battle as the players hate Goodell and want nothing more than for a player to bring him and the league office down. That said it would be really funny if Brady responded by saying " don't worry, I've got this," and paid the legal dues out of his own pocket. However even if he doesn't he still on solid ground as he has paid his dues for 15 years and deserves the full support of the union on this matter.
The bottom line, at least imo, the league office is scared sh.tless at the latest Exponent news and realizes they are in big trouble as they head for federal court. Sally Jenkins is right, there's only one way out and no way Goodell will take it so heads will be rolling on Madison Avenue when this is done, and Vincent's will end up on a pike in Brady's trophy room.
