Official Brady vs. NFL Federal Court 8/12 Thread (LIVE UPDATES)

[Froob]

NFL should try to hire Kessler next time with a boat of cash.

 

[The Brandon Five]

Oh really? So my cars tires just magically deflate when I leave it inside my driveway instead of my garage?

I guess Brady comes to my neighborhood and lets a little air out....

For real? Yes. They do. Look it up.

Kessler has moment of clarity: Calls this "the most overblown issue" he's ever dealt with in his career.

(personal note: ain't that the truth....)

 

[reflexblue]

That would be some quick thinking if so. I didn't make the connection until a full few minutes later. Again, why Kessler is who he is and why I'm some guy on Patsfans.

kessler is one of the best in the busines so i would think he could think that quickly on his feet.

And he follows:

Kessler: "We’ve now put into the public record Mr. Brady’s personal issues about a pool cover that appeared on national television!"

Berman: Why did Mr. Brady not cooperate with the Wells investigation, with respect to providing texts?


Let's see what Kessler says...

Wasn't Brady willing to provide texts? Just in a manner that he felt comfortable and would not risk his privacy.

Except the NFL refused.

 

[sb1]

Looks like he's admitting that he didn't fully cooperate. Good for just a fine of course if this was anyone else...

 

[Mack Herron]

They don't "leak". Ifyou took said ball back to the hot room the PSI will go back up.

Scientific illiteracy. Help find a cure.

Here we go:

Kessler says Brady didn't cooperate out of privacy concerns.

After what happened with his emails, looks like he made the right decision. Imagine the kind of personal stuff he has on his phone.

 

[50-yard-line]

Why say this? ? Why not just go with no illegal deflation occured?

Because the judge, who saw the evidence, just said it appears that deflation occurred...arguing with him will get you zero points, I expect.

 

[Todd Bradley]

For real? Yes. They do. Look it up.

My sarcasm was lost on you it seems...

 

[nabwong]

So the NFL legal team is the Jets of the legal world?

 

[bruce_w]

Setup, railroaded again. Courtrooms are really where the fix is in. It is all a game and it has all been decided already

 

[Rob0729]

Are those actually quotes from Berman?

No, it is a joke based on actual questions.

Kessler says Wells didn't communicate directly with Brady, establish expectation of punishment is he didn't cooperate.

can someone please interpret this?

 

[Kdo5]

And he follows:

Stephen Brown ?@PPVSRB 2m2 minutes agoNew York, USA
Kessler: "We’ve now put into the public record Mr. Brady’s personal issues about a pool cover that appeared on national television!"

That is exactly what I want to hear. Reference the email situation and just how bad it could have been with the texts.

 

[Todd Bradley]

So the NFL legal team is the Jets of the legal world?

Gotta keep it in the family....

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Kessler admits Brady "should have conducted himself differently with Wells".

Remember, we're only getting words, not context.

This could easily mean "Well, maybe he should have asked questions like, 'What will happen if I say no?'"

 

[SVN]

Maybe kessler is trying to sound reasonable instead of trashing every suggestion from the judge. At least thats what steph stradely thinks

 

[sb1]

I see the point Kessler was trying to make about "deflation" but a little disconcerting hearing it put out there....
