It was one guy who continuously tweeted about his opinion regarding the Patriots' innocence. Once the report came out, he immediately claimed the total opposite.
Like some here claimed the whole time--total fraud.
Huh?

As Sally Jenkins points out in today's Washington Post, Goodell shouldn't even wait to receive them before clearing Brady.I thought they didn't even file their final briefs until the end of this week?
That's why I never use Facetube or Twitbook!Probably - general rule I follow with Twitter is I assume zero credibility until proven otherwise. I've never heard of this account, so as far as I'm concerned it's nothing. Would love to be wrong, though.
As I said in a longer post in the thread dedicated to them, I think Vincent's comments suggest desperation and panic, not the confidence of someone who knows he has won anything. If he felt he'd won, he'd just shut the **** up and let Goodell do his talking.After Troy Vincent's comments today, I think this is heading to court. I am not buying some random twitter account again.

Or he knows they dont intend to reduce the punishment to zero and kessler probably in the appeal said its will go to court if not zero.As I said in a longer post in the thread dedicated to them, I think Vincent's comments suggest desperation and panic, not the confidence of someone who knows he has won anything.

we're all just guessing, so your guess is as good as mine, but i'd be very surprised if Kessler, speaking on behalf of Brady, would have tipped his hand like that before the fact. The NFLPA might, however, have authorized Kessler to say something like that on its behalf.Or he knows they dont intend to reduce the punishment to zero and kessler probably in the appeal said its will go to court if not zero.

Michael McCann retweeted Dweeb
Jeff Kessler likely left no doubt in opening statement that Tom Brady plans to sue unless suspension fully vacated.
Michael McCann added,
Dweeb @thesportsdweeb
@McCannSportsLaw Do you think Goodell asked Brady camp "are you going to sue if we don't reduce?" Would ?'s like that be asked?
Huh?
Yeah...not sure how I could have been any clearer. What is your specific question?
Are we still debating whether or not SoV was a total fraud? If so, that isn't much of an argument--nor was it ever.
And if you're insinuating that SoV didn't do a total 180 when the report came out, I'd point to these comments made in the first several days. Let me know if you're still confused after reading:
---"I was told it was a sting op and they had nothing on the Pats. Had no idea Brady was dirty in the whole thing."
--"
Yea he really lost it and did a crazy 180. The only single thing which looked bad is Dorito Dink called himself the deflator in a text from May 2014 during an off season weight loss competition.
SOV rode the horse too hard and then bailed too early. I think he was basing a business based on a bet he was going to be shown right about this.

Or he knows Goody will exonerate Brady and just used this opportunity to poke Brady in the eye while he still can do it. That twitter with Joe Namath picture and a quote, now this interview, this dude can't help himself.
Another thing to think is that NFL people should be avoiding any interview, twitter, etc...they should be in total STFU mode in order to protect themselves in case this goes to court. Any time this dude opens his mouth he defecates through it. Se maybe he's talking because he knows it's not going to court.
I don't think it goes to court, NFL have a lot to loose. If they are confident they are either out of their minds or they have an ace of spades in the sleeves and I can't see how. There's too much against them in this case, Kessler will have a field day and talk for 5 hours about all the inconsistencies in this case.

---"I was told it was a sting op and they had nothing on the Pats. Had no idea Brady was dirty in the whole thing."
---"Those text exchanges are the most damning evidence against Brady. Shows he lied in his presser and to investigators."
---"Tom Brady lied at that presser. I hate the fact that Mark Brunell was right, but he was."
---"100 seconds, and that is plenty of time" (in reference to the bathroom stop).
---"I fell into the trap of listening to a "source" as if it was not just speculation. Won't happen again."
---"I know a bad hand when I see one. Already rode it too far. Brady knew something."
---"We assumed a lot and were wrong because of it."
---"They are not innocent. They played a role in all of this" (in reference to the ballboys).
---""Yeah, he ducked into the bathroom to check. Then lied and said he didn't make any stops on the way to the field."
---"He (McNally) did it in the officials' locker room normally. Too many people were in there before the AFCCG."
---"They found out how it was done at the AFCCG. If they investigated Nov. game, I am sure they would find out how."
---"They are in trouble for deflating balls after they were approved."
---"Brady knew they were being altered."
---"Tom knows something but to punish him for not turning in his phone is insane."
---"I think he knows something" (in reference to Brady).
---"We were never on the 'wagon.' " (in reference to their stance and 100 tweets per day throughout)
---"(McNally) takes the balls without permission, ducks into a bathroom with said balls, has spoken about deflating etc"
