Isn't there some sort of class action lawsuit that can be filed against the NFL offices?

with the amount of money that is gambled over nfl football games, surely this farce could be grounds for legal trouble from the public

Check this petition, it's the basic gist of the argument.

There'd be no standing for the average fan or even a season ticket holder, among other issues.

Is that Vincent on the right?

This whole thing should have been televised with Good Ol Jim Ross doing play-by-play.

People wearing deflated footballs on their heads. Happy Wednesday.



Losers....anyways, I guess there's more honor in wearing a football on your head, than wearing a Jets jersey

Those balls are deflated ... just like the Jets 2015 season. Or Geno Smith's ego after having his jaw broken by a 3rd stringer.

1. Mike Petraglia @TragFormer fed. prosecutor John Dowd just told me: "He doesn't need to re-live this. It's stupid and painful," advises against defamation suit
2. Mike Petraglia @Trags
   Dowd also told me that the NFL has made a joke of its own constitution and there's "a reason" they keep losing on Article 46 "integrity"

 

[karguy85]

How many game day threads have we had so far for this whole debacle?

 

[FourierSeries]

The Ted Wells Report is so independent and fact based that the league has to BEG Tom Brady to accept it and to admit guilt. That's what it has come down to for them.

LOL I'm still laughing about that part.

mort is back !

Mort just echoes whatever line the league tells him without a single thought so not sure if it is true or not. But it wouldn't surprise me.

The NFL is again moving the goal posts here. They want Brady to justify their $5M boondoggle, no doubt because of the pressure being thrown at Goodell by some owners embarrassed by the league's constant ****-ups.

At this point, I'd trust Vince McMahon as commissioner over Herr Goodell.

I have no problem believing that betting lines will be swung at some point when the league's new "safety" rules take an important player out of a critical moment of a game on a questionable problem. I could see Goodell making a phone call to pull Brady after a sack in the 4th quarter of a tied game to "check for a concussion." The man has no credibility, and he's done more damage to the shield than a dozen Ray Rice videos.

that's awesome. he ruled against the SEC because of in house procedure mistakes.

A lot of non-Pats fans on reddit seem to be supporting Brady.
