NFL Appeal oral arguments thread

[PrairiePat]

All depends on where he put the emphasis:
"Compelling if not overwhelming" implies one thing.
"Compelling if not overwhelming" implies another.

That's what I meant - someone who heard the actual statement said the voice inflection sounded more like Chin was implying the evidence was compelling, but not overwhelming. I didn't hear the audio, just saw that statement from someone who did. So take it for what it's worth.

Quality, nice to see you got the funny side of my reaction to your post. Thankyou.




lol

I'm not calling him out at all, just cannot believe he took the time to correct me considering the subject matter. Every man, dog and his lover knows there isn't a defamation suit in play, it was a clear typo. And yes, unlike the majority I do admit my mistakes on this forum.

Saying "drops the suit" 3 Times isn't a typo.

FFS someone get a damn transcription already.

tom's gonna have plenty of time to play even more laser tag. lol

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but, to me, "compelling, if not overwhelming" (which Chin said) is more damning to Brady than "compelling, but not overwhelming.). I interpret what he said as "compelling, or perhaps overwhelming."

You are not missing anything. You are apparently one of the few native English speakers in this thread.

I'd say that's funny..but it unfortunately isn't.

Can someone with twitter please ask Dan Wallach when he might get done transcribing the audio recording?

And context is changed if you like I said change 'the' to 'a'

Hell, Jon Wallach would have had it done by now.

I was going to post something similar. This is a common construction in the English language. Why are people here struggling with its meaning? If people in hyper-educated New England cant figure this out, what hope do we have as a nation going forward. Better keep that military strong...

He pretty much summed it up.

Spinning the Tom Brady case forward

Thanks for posting. I thought I was well-informed, but I wasn't aware of all the possible permutations and combinations. Kind of ridiculous, isn't it?

Grop is not getting traded now. Too much uncertainty whether Brady plays the full season next year.

One of the judges asked Kessler if the NFL was out to get Brady and he choked saying he needed (Goodell) to justify the report he paid 3Mi for, didn't even trash the report for the crap that it is. Would it be a good strategy to go for the jugular there? They are after the Patriots but couldn't frame Belichick so they went after Brady whose punishment affects the Patriots even more. Of course he can't speculate over this base but I think it was time to say the damn truth and drop the diplomacy.

Remember, Berman quoted "independent investigation" all over the document with his ruling. I assume these judges all read Berman's rulling more than once, so a respected federal judge gave the homework done for them, did all the dirty work, these guys gotta know this story doesn't pass the sniff test from the very beginning. A respected Federal Judge didn't buy the Wells Report and not only that, he saw the fabricated piece of work that it is.

Provided the three judges assigned to the case can get over their tabloidesque fascination with a cell phone that no longer exists, and provided they actually embark to do the job that’s being asked of them, then they will ultimately rule in favor of Tom Brady.

Sadly, there's very often a world of difference between what "should" happen and what "does" happen.

Like when almost everyone said that Berman had no choice but to rule for the nfl??

the cellphone doesnt matter yet these guys are obsessed with it.
it's not required to hand over the phone. unlike the NHL, where it is required!
