PATRIOTS NEWS Official Brady Appeal Thread: D-Day Tuesday June 23rd

[Huckleberry1]

Speaking of denial, there's at least one poster here who claims that Roger is doing what he thinks is "right".

Who is that, the Pat Tillman troll?

brady's under oath.
that sounds ridiculous. maybe they should question the " deflated " footballs. have them put under oath. mwhaha this whole thing is a sham.

First, with his meal ticket being called a cheater, Kraft sided with the other 31 owners, and gave up, not only leaving Brady out to dry, but also not mentioning his name once.
Since he has not uttered a statement of support for Brady.
A little while ago, when asked if he thought Brady should play in the opened, he refused to support him saying 'players that deserve to play will play".
Today, Brady, through the union asked Kraft to support him by testifying in support of Brady. Kraft had better things to do. They asked him to testify by phone, and he refused.
Anyone who thinks Robert Kraft cares about Brady or the fans is simply in denial.

I think Kraft thinks he's his own meal ticket, and likely pats himself on the back regularly for his "contribution" to the success of the team.

Like remember that time he said "We are all Patriots", that historic moment in Patriots lore that fired everybody up? Statement is still so impactful, they had to put it on the Superbowl ring! He has catchy catch phrases just like Bill!

Don't piss off Schefter. He'll get you.

Blows me away the league office is so disconnected. NFL succeeding despite them.

So ESPN has a letter from Greg Levy stating that Brady's team will only have a four hour limit that could be increased to five and then the League denies it even though there is hard evidence to prove it. Seriously, is there anything the League won't lie about.

Any idea when Goodell will make his decision?

Game times?

Schefter: NFL gave TB12 and defense 4-hours.
NFL: Not true!
Schefter: League sent letter saying such. Would grant additional hour if "good cause shown."
NFL: Nothing.

about two months ago

Even at 90% certainty, .9^15 means there's an overall 20.6% chance that what you're describing actually happened, which is well under the preponderance of evidence standard. And again, that's at 90% certainty, ie "we're nearly certain that this thing happened" rather than "it's more likely than not that this thing happened".

This is true, but only under the assumption that all data points are necessary to determine the conclusion. In a scenario (like a court case) where evidence is more supplemental than instrumental the math works differently.

Not trying to defend Wells, just being my normal pedantic self.

ESPN obtained June 15 letter from Greg Levy, referencing 4-hour time limit for Brady defense team. Levy said "if good cause shown", in June 22 letter, he would grant up to 1 additional hour.

So that little weasel Volin claimed Brady "snuck in the back door." He really needs a beating.

Stop reading and responding to him, that is the best beating he can get. As long as people keep reading and responding to his crap, he will keep doing it.

You mean this? Hopefully as soon as possible.

I haven't read the Globe in 8 years. The quote from twitter was posted here.

I see what you did there lol

Let's see ...

40 people in the room ... the NFL on the record trying to limit the time Brady's team has to present its case... steady stream of leaks (already!) of less than reliable information ...

Not to mention the fact that the Red-headed Amoeba is presiding over the proceedings. Oh brother!

This has the potential to be an epic, hall of fame, world class fustercluck. I will be absolutely astounded if anything even remotely intelligible comes out of this farce.

The NFL (Aiello) was caught in another lie today. That'll help any Brady appeal.

I had a hard time deciding whether to give this a "winner" or a "funny". So I settled on the latter, but I'd be happy to make a change if you are more honored by the former.

love these lines

The only two times Brady spoke at length publicly about the situation (at a less-than-convincing press conference and a less-than-convincing pre-Super Bowl interview with Bob Costas), Brady was under the false impression that 11 of the 12 Patriots footballs used in the AFC title game against the Colts measured two full pounds-per-square-inch under the minimum — a leak from the league to ESPN that was as jarring as it ultimately was untrue. The false information put Brady and the Patriots on their heels, leading them to believe that someone had done something to the footballs that had resulted in a significant drop in their air pressure. So maybe the clumsy “are you a cheater?/I don’t believe so” remarks from Brady were influenced to some degree by the uncertainty that flowed from the adroitly sinister decision by someone to provide blatantly incorrect information to ESPN, knowing that this would rattle anyone who chose to speak from New England’s perspective about the situation without knowing the truth about the air pressure inside the footballs
