vermont is a part of the 2nd circuit.

@RapSheet: Per 2 sources informed of Tom Brady’s thinking, his stance hasn’t changed. Not willing to accept any suspension in settlement at this point

Why would the lead reporter of the NFL propoganda wing refute it as well? Works for me.

Kessler on PSI levels-"This has never been serious issue for the league. NFL can decide it's serious today, but can't do it after the fact"

@jeffphowe: I was just told any reports are false suggesting Brady is getting ready to accept a suspension.

F off schefter.

Now everybody calm down and move to the practice thread.

You mean "NFL sources" lied to Schefter? Shocking!

 

[Galeb]

I wonder if the leak by "NFL sources" that Brady would accept a game for obstruction prompted Berman's tone to embolden Brady not to accept any suspension in a settlement.

Berman: "I believe some arbitration awards have been vacated" because a witness was not allowed to be called without explanation.

Berman: "There are some basic procedures of fairness that have to be followed.... You got to let someone make their case."

Nash called Pash "not relevant." Called the issue a "red herring" and said Brady team opted not to seek his testimony when it had 2nd chance

My impression: Berman tipped his hand a bit to NFL in an effort to make the sides settle.

WOW. He dropped a grenade on the NFL with that statement.

There were rumors earlier in the day that Brady offered to accept a suspension if the language said he was only being punished for not cooperating with the investigation and not that he was involved in any way of deflating footballs. Brady's camp is denying that now.

Because schefter said brady is willing to settle so now NFL reporters are trying to show that brady is not being flexible as being reported ????
this is downright funny.

It's only lying if they called him.

What? Schefter was wrong apparently, not worth an FU. The guy seems to be more on our side of the fence.

 

[GrogansArmy]

So the story last week about there being witnesses being called to testify is false also then?

Just ask him what is the motivation behind his league sources who got it wrong.

 

[SVN]

I think the PA floated the news to schefter to show brady willing to compromise and the NFL reporters are denying to show that brady is not flexible.

Sounds like Jared is getting his just desserts. Pictures of a six year-old? That six year-old is the one who had a bad day (or days) at some point. WTF is wrong with people?

Hopefully he will be getting his foot longs for free in the near future.

Whoa ESPN reported something inaccurate? I'm shocked.

Add Schefter to the list of reporters that the NFL uses to spread their lies.

They will want this hanging off of the Pats neck all season

Yep. Deflategate axiom #1: be pessimistic always.

Can someone explain please:

Nash explained that Goodell determined Pash's testimony was "cumulative" and there was no need for questioning. Author's confession: I'm not sure exactly what that means, but the notion of employing "cumulative" testimony by the NFL really rankled Berman, who said cases have been vacated based on allowing "cumulative" testimony.

"It's not sufficient just to say his testimony would have been cumulative," said Berman.

What is cumulative testimony?
