Official 9/1 Decision Day? News Updates and Links Thread

[Ross12]

I thought that rant was embarrassing. No better than some drunk moron at a bar would come up with.

Hey, drunk morons can be solid sources of entertainment.

Tough call. Some owners have (anonymously) said they're tired of this crap, and want it to go away. If the NYJFL loses here, that may be it. On the other hand, other owners (anonymou-- j/k we know it's Irsay, Bisciotti, Johnson)
are vocally calling for Brady's blood by any means necessary. Sooo... Don't know.

it will be interesting if anyone will even hear the NFL's appeal......they're the ones who got their forum

I guess...and not to be too serious about it, but I suppose I'd like such a visible figure on "our" side to be able to eviscerate a guy like Mort better than a drunk moron, where the target can just laugh them off as...a drunk moron.

We, as a fan base, will remember 09/01/2015 as either a day of great triumph or a day of unfathomable depression.

That gives me an idea: a mirror in the man cave!

The 2nd circuit court of appeals would have to hear any appeal coming out of this case.

The outcome of this ruling will forever cement my perception of the nick name "Big D Berman".

they can decline to hear the appeal

I definitely understand what you mean, but I'll take what I can get at this point. Better than no one saying anything at all.

 

[FourierSeries]

The ruling will be in favor of Brady. You guys don't even have to follow the developments today because I guarantee it.

You're welcome.

This deflategate thing is making many of us act like junkies. I never understood how people could be into S&M until now.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Won't Berman notify Brady and Herr Komissioner the ruling is coming so they can attend?

Lmao, that's the first time I have ever had a disagree for a question.

 

[QuantumMechanic]

No, they can't. Unlike SCOTUS, the Circuit Courts of Appeals have to hear anything appealed to them, no matter how stupid it is.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Never mind the media coverage. There's a better than 50/50 chance that whoever loses will appeal and drag this out for months (possibly even dominating next off-season as well).

If the league loses I doubt they will appeal.
The Patriots' courageous owner will use his vast influence & stop the owners from supporting an appeal.

crickets man....crickets....

[RelocatedPatFan]

I am so sick of every bit of this. JUST RULE.

The worst thing is, it is in no way shape or form going to be the end. The garbage media coverage will NEVER. END.

I'll be ok with that, IF, the narrative turns against the NFL*.

I'm not holding my breath, but I do expect Judge Bermans ruling to favor Brady. I just think the media won't cover it for more than a day or dig into details of how NFL*/Goodell performed as arbitrator.

This is why Brady winning would be huge with public perception despite what some people here say.

 

[Froob]

I just don't see how he could not vacate it. Everything has gone our way since it has come to a real court. Why would he beat the **** of the NFL and then uphold it despite there be numerous CBA violations that outweigh 46 and already has a precedent for such a ruling? I'd be more shocked than the second time LeBron left if he upholds this.

 

[TheBeers]

I am pretty surprised by that chart.
