Brady appeal transcript is now public

[zoostation]

I mean its just a silly point. Do they honestly think the texts said "Hey, John. Since they already went through your phone and I'm going to brick mine before they check it good job not ratting me out for deflating the balls."

They more likely say (John to TB12) Goodell is such an a@@hole, why are we being harassed ? And maybe TB12 replied back, yeah he is.

It could be as simple as that.

 

[XLIX]

How is he getting these phones for free? Is it possible he's getting something in return? I wouldn't rule it out. Awfully suspicious. Almost like he has something to HIDE!?!?!?!?!? Also he seems to hint he's intentionally stepping on these phones. Arrest this man for insurance fraud.

Potential salary cap violation. And I sure hope he is declaring those free phones on his taxes!

This isn't one of those Obama-phone situations, is it?

Kessler destroys Marlow:

3 And you can bet your bottom dollar -- you can
4 bet your bottom dollar that if you see a suggestion
5 of an effect in data, you are going to look very
6 hard for other data to see whether or not you are
7 right. Sometimes the other data shows that you are
8 wrong; other times it doesn't. But the notion that
9 because this is insignificant, well, forget about
10 it, is just silly.
11 Q. It's just silly?
12 A. Yes. If you say because this is not
13 significant, we will never look anyplace else,
14 that's just silly.
15 Q. Didn't you just testify on direct examination
16 that you set up the exercise on the difference
17 between the differences and that if it was not
18 statistically significant, your decision would be
19 there would be no point to doing anything further?
20 Did you testify to that, yes or no?
21 A. Yes.
22 Q. Was that silly?
23 A. No, and there is a reason, if you will let me
24 explain.
25 MR. KESSLER: I have no further questions.

For anyone who has been in a room with 10+ lawyers it is a very intimidating experience.

In a skim of Brady's responses, seems to me he did fine.

When you're Tom Phucking Brady, you aren't intimidated by many, let alone lawyers.

What i was afraid of. People who want to read it different will read it differently. And this florio post will get him most hits. Reisner was clearly baiting brady over the 12.5 PSI thing. It sounds so stupid to even read that crap.

As i was reading the back and forth it sounded ridiculous to ask brady repeatedly four or five times why he chose 12.5. I think he says they got it out of the rule book, but that doesn't satisfy reisner or what ever his name is.

"TOM BRADY ADMITS TO STOMPING ON PHONE" - ESPN incoming headline

Seriously though: How clumsy can you be to step on 3 or 4 phones lol?

If I was getting replacement phones for free, I wouldn't be careful with them, either.

Judge Berman is going to take one look at this and facepalm so hard he will need a concussion test.

Why on Earth would Columbia recommend Exponent, of all places? They had to be aware of its rep.

Maybe someone was being snarky, like "Oh, well, then why don't you go ask Exponent?"

Columbia may have been able to infer that the NFL was seeking a particular conclusion.

I'm confused....why is he mocking him? I thought this really made Brady look good?

I've seen nothing good. Some hack names Mike Tanier says Brady makes BB seem forthcoming and Gronk sound smart.

So stay away. This is feed for the trolls.

Looks like Mortensen finally got the smoke screen he was looking for to come (somewhat) clean when no one was looking:

There's a typo in there. "Could" should have been "should"

They are still playing to the 31 of 32 teams out there and probably don't want to backstep and say they got it wrong. Or, their minds were made up and they only accept those parts that make Brady look bad.

 

[BradyFTW!]

I'm confused....why is he mocking him? I thought this really made Brady look good?

Because Brady pointedly refused to state that he prefers balls to be at a lower pressure. Also because he acknowledged that he breaks phones pretty routinely.

 

[PatsSox363804]

We just have to accept that the media is in the leagues pocket and will spin it badly in their favor. All that matters is what the judge thinks.

He's Mike Freemen. He isn't very bright. Got canned from CBS sports who has notoriously bad writers.

.... Yet there's proof in the transcript that the Ravens tipped off the Colts.

"We were never involved with it to begin with" ends up actually being "We caused the entire thing."

Text messages. He doesn't have a couple texts. He was "evasive" under Resiners pestering. They aren't looking at anything else. It doesn't fit their agenda.

COMMISSIONER GOODELL: Just so I'm clear, you
are saying it would take four minutes for eleven
balls to be properly inflated? That's your analysis
or whose analysis is that?
THE WITNESS: That's in the Exponent report
and the Wells report. They have a range, time
ranges for those sequences of events.
