Fair to say the NFL got Bermanated ?

Just imagine if that you have Jeff Pash giving Goodell the same advice that Lester Munson has been writing about. "Should I suspend Brady for 4 games?" Yeah, why not, it's all covered under article 46 "Even though there is no notice of a 4 game suspension for doing this?" Yup. Go right ahead...

Then he can use 1 of the 3 that the court "didn't reach" and vacate again, then the NFL can appeal, then he can use 1 of the last 2, then appeal again, then the last 1, and Brady should be retired by then.

I would have fired them too. Taking the balls into the bathroom and opening themselves up to this sort of scrutiny was reckless, also their back and forth unprofessionalism via text (granted, they never expect to go public) would have gotten them canned too in my book. Seriously why don't these...

I read the findings, I'm ecstatic about the decision, obviously, but I am still cautiously optimistic because although it sounds like Berman ruled an almost total victory for Brady, the Lester Munson in me (eww), wonders if a higher court could effectively negate all Berman's findings by...

Munson will just silently never acknowledge he was completely wrong.

lolol "Yeah we'll give you 3 games if you admit to everything"

This a 1000 times. It's not a best of 7 in the NFL.

I'm not sure if I want the suspension vacated more just to see Lester Munson be wrong again or to have Brady playing.

It would be correct thinking if the NFL stood to lose anything. If Berman rules in Brady's favor they just appeal, if they lose the appeal that's fine too, they got the Patriots 1st round pick. Now lets say if the NFL lost Goodell had to spend 6 months in jail. The NFL would have settled with...

Since there was no reason to expect Berman to sway his decision today, his ruling must either be written or decided, there were no more arguments, just settlement talks. I think it's reasonable to think it's already written but most likely decided, and decided a while ago, perhaps before the...

Brady brought Jay Feely with him, Berman requested(ordered) Mara to attend, he did. Doesn't sound like any more arguments took place, settlement talks again failed. Berman will rule by Weds

Funny that's the best an ESPN employee can do.

Sounds like it's over. Hopefully a ruling comes today.

haha, okay fair enough I used the undo-rating as my not funny button :)

Feely is being used to demonstrate he was generally aware of an infraction but was NOT punished, Feely would have been the beneficiary of the tampering. It's identical to the Brady situation, meaning Goodell is being arbitrary and capricious.

Jay Feely being called would be related to: http://yourteamcheats.com/NYJ Kballgate (2009) Modified: 08/03/2015">to top ?home ?awards ? TEAM: The New York Jets SEVERITY: SUMMARY: In 2009, the NFL suspended a member of the New York Jets equipment staff for attempting to use "unapproved...

Yeah, I think Berman understands that Goodell is not settling due to his ego, Mara could "settle" and let Goodell keep his ego, as if the judge forced Mara, effectively gives Goodell a way out without him having to directly capitulate. Basically, Goodell is acting like a 5 year old.

You don't just have the source, you have the email chain of them ignoring the Patriots begging them to correct the PSI numbers. You have Peter King specifying a league source gave him bad data on top it (even if it wasn't intentional, not correcting the numbers WAS intentional). You also have...

They'll be doing PSI checks 'at random' so don't expect any data that doesn't support or 'not hurt' their deflategate quest.
