Aren't they like 3-3. Rice, Peterson and Bountygate?
No. goodell didn't hear the appeal for Rice, a former judge was and she overturned the suspension

interesting view point from a trial lawyer in chat with reiss today
WK (Cambridge)
I'm a trial lawyer and a Pats fan. I must say I find it significant that Brady did not ask Jastremski or McNally to testify. That would be the natural thing to do if he thought their testimony would be favorable, no? He probably couldn't have issued an enforceable subpoena to force them to come, but I bet they would have come voluntarily if they had testimony favorable to TB. If the texts are the smoking gun for Wells, then TB should want their testimony about that too.

Thanks for sharing the thought, WK.
It's equally interesting that the NFL didn't call them to testify. My guess is Brady's defense concentrated on the science; The NFL is just trying to make them go away silently.
How many times did you use the bathroom yesterday. I am around his age and my guess is I went pee 47 times.Jamstreski and McNaly are proven idiots - they would have been ripped in front of Goodel. Wells questioned McNally and he says "he didn't use the bathroom" and later said "he used the urinal" in a bathroom that doesn't have one.
But ya I guess you could say technically 3 for 3 because a true independent arbitrator overturned it.
I mean goodell just looks bad off the bat when it goes to court and Brady's counsel argues about him not recusing himself because look at some of the last suspensions
Bountygate players- Stephen Burbank (Upheld)
Ray Rice- Former Judge Barbara Jones (Overturned)
Adrian Peterson- Harold Henderson (Upheld)
Greg Hardy- Harold Henderson (No Decision Yet)
How come goodell couldn't give it to another arbitrator even Henderson who is clearly in the bag for goodell?
I think if those guys really did deflate AFTER ref inspection, they would have sold out to TMZ. The fact they haven't sold out to some tabloid even after being suspended/fired does say something.It's equally interesting that the NFL didn't call them to testify.

Then why wouldn't they find a TV camera and say so?I think if those guys really did deflate AFTER ref inspection, they would have sold out to TMZ. The fact they haven't sold out to some tabloid even after being suspended/fired does say something.
Yeah but I can remember whether the bathroom I use has a urinal or toilet.

He wanted his name on this arbitration so he can show people he took a tough stand. Thats why the sham vincent appointment and then he also claims he sat in the meetings with vincent and approved them. Its kinda annoying and frustrating to see open lies being told.Yea thats the way I bucketed them. Doesn't matter. Point is the short-term track record indicates that 1-100 was pulled out of their butts as Goody consistently leaps before he looks.

It's also possible MacNally or Jastremski are planning lawsuits of their own.
