Smart or interesting reactions to the Berman ruling

Ken Belson of the NYT observes that one of the precedents Berman relied on was from 1991. The person who handed down the punishment that got overturned was the head coach of the Cleveland Browns.

Interesting small-world coincidence. Small-league, actually.

But Goodell and the owners who backed him on this won’t give up, or give in, as they cling to powers given to them in the league’s collective bargaining agreement like fading despots. So they appeal Berman’s decision. They keep fighting, and it doesn’t matter that they look like sore losers.

Just that they look like losers. Maybe what Berman really did
on Thursday with his decision about Brady of the Patriots was make
Goodell and everybody on his side of this look like the Jets.

"...look like the Jets"! Maybe because they're staffed by Jets front office practice squaders.
