Hmm, I may have to rethink my position on this guy

Donald J. Trump ?@realDonaldTrump 1h1 hour ago
Congratulations to Tom Brady on yet another great victory- Tom is my friend and a total winner!

If Trump commits to going after Goodell and getting back Pats picks to rectify this injustice, he has my vote.

No. The appeal will only take into consideration the record of the federal court case and nothing else. There won't be any new anything (other than citations to more and more and more cases ).

This is correct. No new evidence is introduced to the higher court; they only review the record presented to Berman.

we have to win by 100 points. Largest margin of victory in the history of the NFL!

Scorch the earth. Let's see the Pats put that "The North Remembers" slogan of their's into beautiful action.

Nor did it concur Brady was "guilty," hence Berman's continuous use of alleged. It is, simply, inconclusive.

Ben Volin @BenVolin
Correct RT @Txmedic5: @BenVolin this ruling does not make him innocent just not suspended.

Volin continues to be a jackass.

No, it's not impossible. The CA2 panel could rule that notice actually was given or that notice was not required.

Not only did the NFL fail to give Brady notice, it also applied the wrong punishment scheme to him. They used the disciplinary procedures that are applicable to the team, team officials and head coach, rather than players. They also admitted that Brady, as a player, is not provided with a copy of the disciplinary procedures, including possible punishments, that were used against him. It is mind-blowing how f-d up this is by the NFL, considering they so desperately, obviously wanted to nail Brady and the Pats for something.

IMO, there is no way that the 2nd Circuit overturns this well-reasoned opinion.

The NFL has a little to no chance to win on appeal. the 2nd circuit overturns only seven of appeals brought to them and this will not be a high priority for them

I think ***HOLE is a more appropriate name for that spineless sack of dog sh!t!!

Regardless of what happens man, Goodell has made a fool out of him self.

A complete fool.

I was offline all morning, dealing with work problems and sick kids. Then driving into Boston on 93 I passed a billboard...

Smith is a blithering douchebag

Smith is bashing Goodell ... such a tool.

Bayless calling out Smith now and Smith is fumbling and bumbling ... and spitting while talking.

Not arguing with any of that. Only saying that it is not "impossible" for Berman to be overturned. It's not like basing vacatur on lack of notice (among other things) is some bulletproof shield. CA2 could decide that in its reading of player contracts notice is given, etc. Not saying it's likely, mind you. Just not impossible.

DeMaurice Smith just blew up at Cossak on SC. Wow!

I'm more likely to walk up to Gillette, at 185 lbs, and being granted the starting FB, than the NFL* is likely to win the appeal.

If work check my productivity today, I am more screwed than Goodell!

 

[SalemPats]

The best thing is that Judge Berman destroyed the NFL

Meanwhile, back in Indianapolis...

Your bosses are too busy reading Patsfans.com, listening to WEEI, and watching ESPN to worry about your productivity today.
