I'm sure Belichick will schedule practice to accommodate. Probably early practice on August 11th, Brady gets some work in and then he makes the one hour flight to New York.
August 12th if there is a legit practice and not a walkthrough practice it will benefit Garoppolo to get all the reps as Brady will see 0-2 series in the August 13th game against the Packers.
Now the court proceeding on August 19th will keep Brady out of the first joint practice with the Saints
Is there any credible report that Brady is thinking of attending by phone other than the vague assertion in this article? If there is, does anyone know the "good reason" that has been suggested for that decision?
Was the reasoning in the original decision and the appeal the same? Was the original decision based on the player conduct policy or the violation of ball inflation rules?
15. INTEGRITY OF GAME. Player recognizes the detriment to the League and professional football that would result from impairment of public confidence in the honest and orderly conduct of NFL games or the integrity and good character of NFL players. Player therefore acknowledges his awareness that if he accepts a bribe or agrees to throw or fix an NFL game; fails to promptly report a bribe offer or an attempt to throw or fix an NFL game; bets on an NFL game; knowingly associates with gamblers or gambling activity; uses or provides other players with stimulants or other drugs for the purpose of attempting to enhance on-field performance; or is guilty of any other form of conduct reasonably judged by the League Commissioner to be detrimental to the League or professional football, the Commissioner will have the right, but only after giving Player the opportunity for a hearing at which he may be represented by counsel of his choice, to fine Player in a reasonable amount; to suspend Player for a period certain or indefinitely; and/or to terminate this contract.
