Goodell Statement released by NFL on May 6: "I want to express my appreciation to Ted Wells and his colleagues for performing a thorough and independent investigation,...LOL! Andrew Brandt is doing the NFL's argument. Looks like the NFL is conceding that Wells was not an independent investigator because they are arguing according to rule 46 they are not required to use an independent investigator. I wonder if the media will pick this up.
Does NY district court recognize Minn district court ruling in this type of thing?For those who are wondering:
The estoppel claim is (a big part of) why the NFLPA wanted this case in Minnesota.
Basically says the NFL cannot make any counterarguments to the "no notice" argument of the NFLPA because of the Adrian Peterson ruling on same notice issue.
A few people here explained it well. Its just a legal principle that you can't relitigate the same issue between the same parties. The NFL lost the notice issue in previous cases and thus may be estopped from relitigating.
A brilliant argument by Kessler - just have to see if Berman agrees.
Right and it makes me feel better that they've (Brady/NFLPA) had this thought some time ago. Seems they are playing chess when the NFL is playing checkers (or let us hope). That's probably the first salvo with more to follow.The estoppel claim is (a big part of) why the NFLPA wanted this case in Minnesota.
Very scared to get my hopes up. Lets hope so.Right and it makes me feel better that they've (Brady/NFLPA) had this thought some time ago. Seems they are playing chess when the NFL is playing checkers (or let us hope). That's probably the first salvo with more to follow.

What do you think, was Goodell "locked in" to adopting the Wells Report (and therefore biased)? #DeflateGate

Thanks for letting me know, but @Wheelman let me know earlier today. I was feeling rather good about it so I created a whole thread for it:

My question to the lawyers here is can the judge rule based on goodell lied ? We all know he lied but he/NFL dont care now as long as the judge rules in their favor. So can the judge consider this as a reason to overule or does it not fall under the case argument at all ?From today's NFL filing: Furthermore, Article 46 does not require an “independent” investigation prior to the imposition of discipline, and indeed it is commonplace for NFL personnel other than the Commissioner to investigate the problematic conduct. See Award at 19 n.20 (“If the entire investigation had been conducted by in-house NFL employees instead of an outside law firm, I would still view it as a thorough and reliable basis for my findings and conclusions

Goodell flat out lied.

Yet they failed to prove a "scheme" existed. As far as obstruction- wasn't a fine the most they were supposed to do for that?Andrew Brandt @adbrandt 41m41 minutes ago
NFL: "Commissioner did not discipline Brady for merely being “generally aware” of violation of playing rules." Says for scheme/obstruction.
