NFL final appeal brief filed

[QuantumMechanic]

I haven't read over it, but here it is. This is the final pre-argument brief from either side (unless the court asks for more). The standard sequence is "party appealing opening brief", "other party reply brief", "party appealing rebuttal brief".

@WALLACHLEGAL and the other usual suspects have been tweeting about it.

This is Roger Goodell's NFL.

Someone needs to Photoshop Mein Fuhrer's head onto Veruca Salt's body. He's such a butthurt little *****.

You can't deflate a kettle bell!!!! And there's no tire in that picture!! The word "deflate" can only be used to describe releasing air from an inflated object! It cannot be used for any other situations! At all!

Ultimately this one text from the May before is what they hung everything on.

They've only got one drum to bang.

Pats should really hire Polian just to use him as a shield against the league.

The league makes Brady out to be more and more like Sheev Palpatine every time they submit a new brief, it's hilarious.

I'm sure the court has picked up on them changing the seriousness of what they actually think he did every time they file.

And it's a tin drum...

I've gotten hold of an excerpt that will be in the next brief, if the court asks for more by the parties:

The commissioner found, as a matter of fact, that Tom Brady ordered the construction of the Death Star that destroyed Alderaan. That is clearly conduct detrimental to the league, as the NFL is no longer able to put an expansion team there.

A page turner from beginning to end. The man and his office, the owners and media minions make me sick in their utter lack of honesty/fair play. They're scum.

The NFL submission is pretty simple as I read it. (a)Goodell acted entirely reasonable, (b) he is well within his rights to invoke 46, (c) the courts must affirm that the courts have no business meddling in an affair that is entirely reasonable and clearly within the rights afforded in the CBA.
Put another way, Berman said it was unreasonable, unfair and not within the CBA. The NFL appeal is entirely "d%#*!@t Judge! look again, it is reasonable, fair, and within the CBA! So you judges must decide you should butt out".
Oh, and Tom Brady the ''fine young man" (according to Goodell)? he is now inching closer and closer to being the NFL's version of Whitey Bulger. Hilarious if it wasn't so sick....

As long as no one is thinking about concussion, wife beaters, elevator knockouts and child whipping running backs the brief will have served its distractive purpose.

Don't forget threatening an opponent with Baseball bats whilst hurling homophobic insults at them. Or a WR launching himself at an opponents head after the play is dead.

We can't have people talking about that now, can we?!
