August 12th transcript finally available

Kessler: "First of all, what the NFL doesn't deny is that what Mr. Wells had asked for was any text to three people, that was all; he want Mr. McNally, he wanted Mr. Jastremski and he wanted Schoenberg."


Wow! This is the first I have read this. So Wells specifically asked for texts to only these three people. Wells already had those texts. That means they had everything. So all this crap about the phone is complete b.s. It was irrelevent. I already knew it was b.s., but here it is spelled out, it is officially itrelevent b.s.! The only thing Brady did not give Wells that he asked for was e-mails which he eventually did hand over. This is so corrupt.

Yep. There was 100% compliance with Wells, and his report, which the suspension is based on. It sounds like Goodell, knowing the phone no longer existed, asked for more at a later date, and upheld the suspension on grounds of non-cooperation after knowing that what he was asking for didn't exist.

This entire thing has been a sham from the NFL's side from day 1.

There we go again, this is why twitter sucks. Stop believing everything you read on it. Kessler said they don't agree. It wasn't setup for a settlement, it was just left out.

Sound bites--at max 140 characters taken out of context--don't do this justice. I am gong to stop getting my hopes up on those.

I didn't feel the hearing was one-sided at all after reading the transcript. I think they both have merits to their case--particularly since the Player's Association isn't challenging the Wells report but the procedural issues.

I still feel it was one sided but not nearly as much as the tweets would have you believe. The judge was asking far more pointed and damning questions of the NFL than he did Kessler and Kessler's responses were far superior to those of Nash.

Well this was the first one, the other is supposed to be far more impressive.
