Berman's decision basically said that the entire process that NFL used to arrive at a 'guilty' verdict was unfair. That's not a technicality.
A technicality would be if the NFL had rock-solid, indisputable proof, but the judge tossed it all because one of the the league's attorneys forget to sign some form.
The question these media folks should be asking was, if the evidence was so strong, why did the NFL have to 'rig' their system to get the verdict they wanted?
That's ridiculous. It's rumor and innuendo with no basis in fact. I can't believe they put that in their brief, since the NFLPA lawyers will have a field day with thtat.
Man, don't take this away from her. She's a Jets fan. She needs something to feel good about. Throw a little charity her way and let her keep on believing.I had an email exchange earlier today with my niece who lives in London. She and her boyfriend are going to the game in London this weekend and in the thread I mentioned that NE had just defeated the Jets. Her response was "Wonder how the Pats cheated their way out of that one!". Disheartening, to say the least. I'm going to walk her through my Ideal Gas Analysis when I see her over the holidays. She's an economist and should be able to understand the high school level algebra required. But will she have an open mind? After all, she's a Jets fan.
Jaws and McNally most likely signed away their right to sue to get reinstated. Whatever chance for a defamation suit there is won't be apparent until the present case runs its course, depending on how it's ruled.
My latest hope is the way the NFL worded their briefing opens the door to how they measured the footballs and why their treatment of the pressure guages.
I'm surprised the ****ing union and Roger Goodell cannot find a way to meet somewhere in the middle on this while the NFL still has any leverage at all? At least clearing Brady and letting a different case go to arbitration or something. Let the player get on with it, he's 38 and lighting it up and this is the history of the game you're ****ing with over contracts. I absolutely hated Derek Jeter more than anything in the world but man he was one of the best Yankees of all time and there's no way I would have wanted to see him sidelined over some nonsensical **** toward the end of his career.
If it weren't for the obviously money dropped passes the guy would be on track to an 80% completion rate at age 38. It should be pretty frickin' clear deflated footballs isn't part of the equation.
These buffoons look so foolish I laugh at them.
I can't imagine how funny they are going to look if Brady is the MVP of the regular season and the Super bowl. This with so called properly inflated balls.
But then he would have lost earlier than he did. Plus, many federal judges (unfortunately) are rubber stamps that just affirm the decision below them, so Goody the Abuser had a better chance to rule the way he did and hope for a rubber-stamping judge. Luckily for Brady, Berman is not one of those, and now it will work to Brady's advantage and Goody is the one who has to fight the rubber-stamping judges at the 2nd Circuit level. Not only that, but Berman wrote a well-reasoned opinion backed up by the evidence and the CBA, so the rubber stamp will be easier to apply.the nfl is spending millions and millions on something that goodell abused. all that ****head needed to do was have a neutral arbitor
Goodell is more stupid than i ever thought. TBs performance has basically negated any of the worst anti-Brady haters. You would think that they would say we can only look dumb by appealing, but hey it's the NFL.
NFL fighting enormous odds throwing a Hail Mary here in a desperate grab for power. Could be a spectacular fail that might cause the owners to rethink their stooge.
