Have a friend who's one of those lawyers who's obsessed with SCOTUS and no fan of the Patriots, and he suggested the issues that it raises in terms of workplace discipline may be of interest to the Court.
Brady's lawyers really blew this one. He must be livid.
Well, other AFCE teams, and others we play in first four games. And Baddell. He finally won something.
The Second Circuit actually took it upon itself to address the additional grounds that Judge Berman did not cover in his decision back right before the season started. This is remarkable to me. But their order here is not a remand to Berman to re-consider anything. The Second Circuit has said that Berman must confirm Fuhrer Goodell's decision. So unless I am missing something, Brady's only shot is to: (1) seek a rehearing en banc (very difficult, but helped a bit by Katzman's strong dissent); or (2) seek certiorari in the Supreme Court (which is next to impossible; SCOTUS has better things to do, and I don't think there is a circuit split on law here that would give reason for SCOTUS to grant cert).
He might just do that and if I'm him, I never participate in any NFL special events again. F them. I hold a grudge for the rest of my career if I'm Brady.Just take the suspension and end this.
I'm not sure Lewis will be 100% ready by game one. He plays a position where cutting and starting and stopping, are really tough on the knees. Would not be surprised if he gets PUP'd to start the season, like Gronk a few years back. Not counting on him to be his old self immediately.Just to be a small voice of optimism with this ****ty news...
I think we are in a better position to deal with Brady's suspension this year than last. Defense will be very good (I think) and the addition of Bennett and Hogan, return of Lewis should get us to at least a 2-2 start, maybe better.
The season is not lost but yeah **** this!!
This is outrageous!
Brady should just retire.
