Brady appeal transcript is now public

[obgod3]

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.

Felger...what is that?

 

[rochrist]

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.

He was calling Brady a liar tonight. And it isn't the first time.

#Smeargate should be on all news tomorrow morning. People get to work on twitter. It should catch fire.

I pray everyday that someone releases proof that Goodell had the elevator video .... still praying and hopeful.

Or that there's an unedited version, and he's in it.

 

[zoostation]

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".

Squeaky Macaroni was probably giving him a HJ under the desk and giggling like a school girl during Felgers tough guy outburst.

After we win Super Bowl 50?

lol we should not wait until after we win Superbowl 50 but we all know the world won't boycott the NFL. So enjoy Super Bowl 50.

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

It's basically what allows the NFL to operate as a single league. The teams are legally independent businesses that operate together as a cartel for purposes of licensing, TV deals, etc. This would normally be illegal under US antitrust law, but the NFL has an exemption that allows them to continue operating. If they lost it it would be the end of the NFL as we know it. Something else might replace it, but the rules would be very different and the clubs would be competing against each other as businesses as well as on the field.

MCI just happens to pop up on the feed, It was too late to skip his drivel, however he did point out how and why the investigation horned in on Brady. It was all in the Colts email to the league. That is what Wells was hired to find.

 

[TommyD4207]

I tend to agree here but, Wells is not an NFL employee

Actually, under oath, he admitted he was precisely that.

This is why a good bit of his testimony was objected to, and considered "privileged information".

Fun fact, someone else at his law firm did the cross-examination on Brady, representing the NFL.

I'm in AZ and I tune in from time to time just to see on certain days what they are trolling about. Last week a caller said he called Brady a liar and he got all defensive and said I never said that etc. I'd love to see where he called Brady a liar without insinuating it.

 

[PatsFanSince74]

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.

Them chickens do come home to roost, don't they? I can't believe I'm having fond memories of a man I used to despise, Al Davis. Say whatever you want about him (and there's PLENTY to say), he never backed down when he thought a principle was on the line.

Why would brady trust an assistant if his phone had damning info. ? Another question no one asked. BTW Reisner questioning brady after co authoring independent report ? Classic.

Brady has a personal assistant. His name is (ironically) Will McDonough. McDonough would probably die for Brady.

 

[MitchKumstein]

Florio agrees.

So in order to support his decision to uphold the suspension goodell flat out lied about what Brady testified during the appeal

Keep preaching to us about integrity, rog

No wonder this scumbag wanted the transcript sealed. It will be a travesty if he's still commissioner after this

I though Massarotti said the NFL would NEVER lie?

Not to bust your chops but can you post this particular quote of him saying he is an employee?

Tom Brady's transcript may be just enough for him to beat NFL in court. My @SInow legal take: si.com/nfl/2015/08/04…

Let me go find it, I'll edit it in in a bit.

Pages 264-272 in the report, Pages 70-72 on the pdf itself.

The objection bit is hysterical, and totally damning in this respect.

 

[SVN]

Clearly the NFL lawyers tried to muddy the water wrt to exponent and snyder's testimony making him angry .

I'm getting my hopes up again.
I've been hurt so many times already.
