NFLPA's official Brady appeal letter....Whoa!

[TeamFirst]

Wow!!! How can the Nfl be this stupid? If the Pats and Brady were guilty of anything they wouldn't be fighting it.

They never denied spygate.

How are the other owners standing by and watching this all happen?

Goodell will just appoint another arbitrator now. Him hearing the appeal was a strategic leak not an official announcement. This is what NFL does.

 

[TeamFirst]

Hope this is allowed if not my apologies

Kessler is a hawk and a flamethrower. He'll try to burn the NFL to the ground, if that's what it takes.

Please let this happen! This league needs a cleansing like never before. We just won the superbowl so I am perfectly content saying burnt it all to the ground.

So that's Kesslers letter to the NFL?

 

[reflexblue]

Personally I dont think it was a sting by NFL . The colts notified the league which didnt take it seriously but the colts along with kensil also did their own sting . Once it all came out, the NFL tried covering up first by blandino saying they were unaware and then wells stating there was a letter to the league the day before and wells again in his presser messing up saying it was ignored.
Basically these guys are so disorganized even with their own stories that its pathetic.

It really doesn't matter goodell and vincent are Now going to have to defend themselves to prove it wasn't, and that could really lead to some serious trouble for them. THEY will have to allow their phones to be scrutinized. But i see it as a way to force goodell to appoint an outside arbitrator. Like someone posted yesterday, by having vincent impose the sentence goodell could appoint himself as the arbitrator, but now it sounds like he won't be able to, hes been headed off at the pass.

At this juncture, I will no longer call this "Deflategate".

It is now "Waterloo".

 

[ChoWZa]

If I'm understanding this correctly.. the CBA forces Goodell to hand out all punishments, but also makes him the default arbitrator? How is this possible?

 

[ANGR89]

Wow, and after receiving that, he still decides to appoint himself? What a moron!

It is now "Waterloo".

I thought Brady's dad had the best name for it... Framegate.

Translation: You are a clueless nincompoop and have no idea what you are doing.

1 We also note that one arbitrator has previously found that you, in particular, are unfamiliar with proper NFL discipline procedures and have no role in imposing discipline. Peterson Art. 46 Appeal at 7.

I am sure they aren't all standing by and watching. Some may be looking for an excuse to get rid of Goodell and they are letting him hang himself. As for the others? There really isn't much more they can do. If this is the horse they are backing then they just have to hope that Goodell can win the legal battle.

I missed that one. Great find.

That was for what took place up between Jan 18-May 14.

May 15 and beyond, it is Waterloo, baby!

 

[patsfan13]

I also want Blandino on a spit for his lie about the sting.

 

[vyrago]

Now that's why you should stay quiet the last two weeks! Let the professionals handle it!

So if Goodell is going to be called as a witness, he can't be the arbitrator?

 

[Seanzayyy]

?????

Whoops... Fixed.

"So knowing that Tom and the NFLPA will seek recusal and search for a neutral arbitrator if need be,"

Let's hear how Kelli Naqi of ESPN got her FALSE "scoop" early on about McNally substituting in the wrong kicking balls when the NFL's Scott Miller was taking the real ones to steal from his NFL Charities and sell on his personal website.

Mr. Naqi had NFL office ties.

Let's fully open up this rotting pomegranate.
