Well, lets see where this leads next...No word on the NFLs submission

and on a related note, looks like there has likely been very little progress in working towards a settlement prior to August 12th

There is no middle ground. Not at this point.

Goodell literally lied in his briefing on what happened during the appeal. He knowingly and blatantly lied about information he was told during testimony and used that distortion to base his judgement on. How on earth is that not enough to throw the entire thing out by itself? Far stronger cases have been wrecked by such procedural screwups.

Does the judge not see this? He must right?

Both sides digging in their heels

There won't be a heck of a lot new in the big points. There should be some new stuff in the details.

 

[NJPatsfan26]

Not surprised at this at all

 

[raduray]

What does this mean

Is this the 15 page brief requested by Judge Berman due today?

 

[Tony2046]

I wonder if Goodell has just hung himself.

Is it possible that Pash has seen this an opportunity to get Goodell removed so that he can take his place?

 

[Deus Irae]

So Brady didn't play "safe", huh? Media members will be crying all weekend long.

[Mark.]

Maybe it is Goodells last stand. Hope he has the same result as Custer.

b b b b but Brady is only bluffing, he won't dare risk bringing this to court!

Deus, by this do you refer to the "Brady should just be a man and own up" BS crowd ? Or do you mean the people thought he'd be too cowardly to go to court ?
