Felger leads tonights show with ...'if he's innocent, why has Brady been such a lying dishonest weasel?'

That's a direct quote? He actually used the term "weasel"?

How much harder does he need to try in his aim to anger Patriots fans? Dude is hitting new lows. Tang yay-esque lows. Don't think I recall any of the talking heads actually descend to level of calling him a "weasel".

This may come across as petty, but reading the appeal document and the overt smugness of the people attached to the NFL's Patriots smear campaign, it's rather infuriating that Kraft waited as long as he did to fire up the nuclear reactor.

8 ****ing months we've had to sit back and listen to the media and assorted assholes character assassinate the greatest of all time for nothing.

Agreed 100%!

When the dust settles and when, hopefully, this has been resolved in a fair manner (i.e., Brady is exonerated of any complicity in the fabricated "crime" and is playing on opening night while the NFL's behavior is exposed), when that happens, many of us are going to turn our attention to Kraft. His caving to Goodell at the worst possible time will stand as an act of self-serving cowardice that ended up being simply cowardice, because it didn't even serve his own self-interests.

Right now, in my eyes, it's a tossup as to whether Goodell, Kraft or Vincent comes off looking worst in this mess.

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

It was probably sarcasm.

Felger still saying Brady did "it"...f%ck him

You're feeding the troll. Ignore him, please!

Heh. Kinda have to love that the guy Kessler brought in as an expert introduces himself partially as an expert in criminal antitrust enforcement. Obviously Dean of the Yale School of Management is a big prestige stick, but Kessler could have gotten lots of people with a strong statistical resume - even better, people with more specific applications to physics. Instead he gets the guy who used to work at the DoJ on antitrust issues. No gamesmanship there, certainly.

"That's a nice antitrust exemption ya got there. Be a real shame if something happened to it."

What is this whole anti trust thing about and what happens if they were to lose it?

Sometimes, rats jump off a sinking ship and sometimes they turn around and try to eat the crew that's left behind trying to save it.

Mort and King jumped off the ship.

Felger and others are trying to devour those who are still standing.

Douche is just mad because apparently he was on the "Brady will settle because he wants everything sealed" kick and looked like a complete idiot once again. So now it appears he is just going to resort to straight up lies and name calling because all of his theories died with this transcript being unsealed

By calling neither McNally nor jastremski, the world is left to ponder wtf dorito dink means.

The fact (and it is indeed a fact) that Goodell lied about Brady's explanation for his phone calls to Jastremski should definitely factor into the case. Goodell used that in his decision to uphold the appeal, but it was a lie. That is an unfair/incorrect use of his power.

Another big factor is that Wells testified as saying he did not want Brady's phone and that whether or not Brady handed over his phone/documents would not factor into his decision. That further suggests punishment was handed down unfairly.

Finally, the fact that Reisner was doing the questioning at the appeal hearing yet was also part of the investigation undermines the independence of the investigation altogether.

There's a lot that reveals this whole thing to be a complete sham, but I think those three points should be factors in the actual case. (I'm not a lawyer, but I have a good feeling about this Judge Berman).

Alternatively, the NFL will realize that they now look like complete bumbling fools, and will "do the right thing", own up to it, and exonerate Brady/reduce the suspension. But let's not kid ourselves.

Florio agrees. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...stimony-about-communications-with-jastremski/

I just don't understand why there are so many references to these moronic radio personalities. It is exactly the kind of thing that makes them relevant. They have no significance to what happened in this case, and will have no influence about what happens going forward. None.

Listening to them, and bringing them attention by then posting about it, seems to be a form of masochism. Please, please, stop listening to them. And if you have to continue listening, for some odd reason, then please just do it privately; there's no need to share anything here. We don't need to cr*p in our own bed.

You guys spend WAY too much time talking about Felger. Like many in his field it is an act to drive ratings. He does not believe half of what he says. He says what he does for a very obvious reason. The fool is the one that continues to listen to him and feed the trolling.

Yep. He can't say anything else. Again. Why he isn't fired or his house egged is beyond me. Back in the day, Massachusetts men would have done something about it.

Yet he won't call Brady a liar. I know for the past couple years, F&M moved their set to Foxboro for a week for TC coverage. Haven't heard a lick about that this year.

Chew on this: Until recently Kraft was Goodell's biggest supporter. Openly defended him after the Rice debacle, right? Had swallowed the "Billionaire Boy's Club" mentality hook, line and sinker. If he has really joined the land of the living he must realize that Goodell has run their train off the tracks and will work assiduously to bring his fellow owners out of their haze and convince them to oust Goodell.

I think we need to form a support thread, like AA, for those self haters who continue to torture themselves. Keep it separate from the rest of the forum so the rest of us don't get contaminated.

Why the F was kensil not interviewed ?

He was at the movies with Gino Smith

Agree for those who continue with this unfortunate malady. But if someone truly wants to give up the habit, to quit the addiction, they shouldn't be driven away to suffer in isolation. Once they have acknowledged their problem, and asked for support, they should be allowed to stay here, and get help staying on the wagon, so to speak.

Speaking personally, I'm not going to sleep tonight, knowing that I might never know what that means.

I hope you're right, but I doubt he has it in him. The guy who spoke in San Francisco was a guy who is out of gas; the guy who spoke at Belichick's press conference last week was a pathetic figure. Goodell is going to have to be taken down by owners with guts and strength.

Kraft supported Goodell when the Saints got screwed. He supported him when the Skins and Cowboys got screwed during the cap issue. He supported him when Richie Incognito got screwed. He's reaping what he sowed.
